APOLLO FARM CONTROL
YOUR HERD IN GOOD HANDS
In today’s world, being a sustainable and profitable dairy farmer is challenging. Simple and innovative solutions
must match your needs and those of your animals so that you can operate efficiently. For many years, we have
been putting our knowledge and expertise of specialists to work for dairy farmers around the world. We strive
to provide functional solutions that support you in your daily work. Our goal is simple: your dairy farm has to be
healthy. This is where we have taken the next step: Apollo Farm Control.
Complete control and a clear overview
Apollo Farm Control gives you more control over the most important parameters for your farm. With the latest data from Apollo Farm Control, you can manage your daily routines more efficiently so you can keep track of your herd. You can set up your ongoing processes such as milking, feeding, separation, animal identification and heat detection (only with cows) according to your own wishes and needs.
Clear overview of your herd
With the graphical overview, you can optimise your business processes both at the farm level and at the individual animal level. You can quickly enter data for several animals simultaneously and filter different groups.
24/7 ACCESS, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
You can access your herd data anytime, anywhere: on the Milking Parlour Monitor in the parlour, on your PC/laptop, tablet or mobile. This means you can always react to attentions brought to your attention, allowing you to make the right decision quickly.
Simple, user-friendly and safe
Apollo Farm Control is simple and easy to use, and you only see the modules you choose. Your herd data, on the Apollo Controller, is kept separate from your ‘own’ internet and therefore your data is always protected against possible viruses and power cuts.

Apollo Basic
Apollo UniControl unit records all events. The data is sent directly to your Apollo Farm Control unit and stored in datafiles, up to 90 days back in time.

Ofcourse the animal data information is included in Apollo Basic.

Displays activity data and graphs for animals equipped with the Unitrack transponders. Provides an overview of the health based on the activity, eatime and rumination.
