The YieldSense Connected app works by capturing information from the milk sensors, alerting the farmer of the results via their smart device.
Results include a summary of the bottom - and top - performing individual cows in the herd.
Graham Cates, manager of a 300-cow herd in Walton, uses YieldSense Connected to record the yield for each cow in his herd.
He taps in to the technology for a 10-day period each month.
"We record the alerts when they appear. Whenever we're alerted, we go to the bail, get the cow number, and punch it into the phone," Says Mr cates.
The information backs up animal management decisions.
"It makes our job easier, its user friendly and fast, and now we don't herd test.
"We make our decisions about what we're going to do: treat, dry off, or cull."
The app goes beyond individual cow results. Herd-level reporting is designed to provide a platform for farmers to focus on herd improvement solutions.
A flashing light system in the milking shed is an optional extra.
The lights provide milking staff with an additional visual alert - signalling the bottom- and top-performing cows before they return to the paddock.
Paul Whiston, LIC Automation chief executive, says the app is easily accessible - but even better - it makes leading-edge technology affordable for most farmers, particularly those with small to mid-size herds.
"Up until now YieldSense has really only been available for farmers with rotary milking sheds that have an in-bail cow identification system.
"The YieldSense Connected app opens the technology up to the entire market, including farmers with herringbone milking sheds.
"YieldSense Connected, and the previously released CellSense Connected, are part of part of a strategy to offer farmers more choice and flexibility with the latest automation solutions."
