What is a cow brush?
A cow brush looks after the well-being and cleaning of cows in the shed. It has been scientifically proven that a cow that feels good produces more milk.
New controller with gravity sensor
Our client had an existing electronic controller from a supplier where the on switch of the engine was based on a mechanical component. Its reliability was however not always guaranteed. E.D.&A. has developed a new controller where use was made of a gravity sensor. This sensor gives off a signal that is dependent upon the speed and movement of the component. Intelligent software ensures that the new printed circuit board can be used for all our client’s cow brush types, without mechanical adjustments to the printed circuit board.
Danger of overheating?
The high environmental temperature was an additional challenge, as the printed circuit board was mounted on the engine in a small enclosed housing. The printed circuit board was protected against overheating using a temperature sensor and software.
The first 1000 modules have already been successfully installed in the sheds.
