5 Ways to Increase Efficiency in Your Feeding Process
By Micro Technologies
1. Automate your feeding process.
Automating processes that have traditionally been performed manually can help you reduce the time spent feeding by as much as a few hours. This means less run-time on your equipment and more time for your employees to take on additional tasks and projects. The addition of a Micro Weigh System and Pro Control Batcher will allow you to automate your mixing and ration composition, meaning you’ll feed more cattle more efficiently.
2. Improve accuracy.
Micro ingredients and feed additives are expensive, there is no denying that. If you aren’t delivering them to your feed rations with a precise delivery system then you aren’t being efficient. These micro ingredients need to be measured accurately and properly mixed into your diets, if you want them to be effective. The Micro Weigh System will ensure all of your ingredients are measured as precisely as possible, and Micro’s Pro Control Batcher will ensure they are mixed into the ration properly to ensure efficacy.
3. Reduce employee errors.
The hardest factor to control in your feeding process is the human element. Whether your employee has a heavy hand with certain ingredients or they are constantly trying to “beat the scale,” human error can add variability to ration composition and decrease the efficiency of your operation. Our Pro Control Batcher tracks employee habits while feeding and makes automatic adjustments based on how they normally feed. Our team helps calibrate the technology and is available 24/7. Ensuring human variability is taken out of the equation.
4. Limit mixing steps.
Standard mixing processes take multiple steps to ensure that all your micro ingredients are included in each ration. Additional steps not only increase the time it takes to mix a ration but also decreases the accuracy of the final ration composition. Adding a Micro Weigh System cuts down these steps while increasing accuracy. Meaning you can mix your feed faster with the confidence that it’s being done right.
5. Have a user-friendly process.
Your employees are unique. They come from diverse backgrounds, have varying levels of technical literacy, and communicate through multiple languages. If your process isn’t easy for them to understand and utilize then all of your efforts to increase efficiency will probably be futile. Our Micro weigh system and Pro Control Batcher are designed to be easy to utilize for all employees. Our user-friendly configuration and multi-lingual interface will give your employees a comprehensive understanding of the process, and allow you to succeed at increasing efficiency.
