DN2K, a leading software provider for the dairy industry, has entered into partnership with analytic solution provider DataMi of Boulder, CO. Together, DN2K and DataMi will bridge the gap of current on-farm systems for data driven insights designed to increase operational efficiency, dairy profitability, and increased herd health.

DN2K is working with dairy industry leaders to tackle the vast amount of unanalyzed data produced on the dairy farm. By designing a single platform to aggregate and visualize all the data from the systems on a dairy farm - DN2K provides a comprehensive operational picture. “The dairy industry has numerous opportunities to increase operational efficiencies and profits. Dairymen collect and store vast amounts of operational data and currently do not have the tools to analyze, predict and understand their data in real time. We are committed to delivering actionable insights into these problems” commented Susan Lambert CEO of DN2K.

DairyInsight began addressing questions for dairy farmers such as: Could the mountain of required paper reporting be digitized and viewed in a simple report? Could feed costs be predicted and then forecasted into a budget? Could thresholds be measured for animal wellness and alarms set for problems or anomalies? Can milk production be forecasted and optimized based on budgets and contract quotas? Could all this information be viewed from anywhere? Today, DairyInsight collects extensive amounts of operational dairy data which opens the opportunity to leverage this data set for advanced analytic insights.

The DataMi team has partnered with DN2K to deliver modeling that can predict dairy production and feed costs under varying herd, feed, and weather conditions. Dr. Hans Brunner, CEO of DataMi explains “We are in the business of finding the deeper underlying causes that drive things in the world around us, then producing quantitative models of these forces so that we can better predict everything from upcoming system failures, to dairy production, to animal health or anything else that needs to be apprehended. We have the ability to look and analyze all inputs into a dairy operation.” Together DN2K and DataMi will provide an industry leading platform for the future of the dairy supply chain.
