The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) continues its endeavour to provide real time information to the dairy cooperatives by setting up info systems at various levels using modern information technology. While talking to media persons, Chairman of NDDB Dilip Rath said that in line with the Union government’s Digital India dream, NDDB’s integrated Automatic Milk Collection System (AMCS) software has strengthened cooperative business through digital innovation. Presently, 48 DCSs affiliated to the Bhopal Milk Union are using the AMCS software.
Rath conveyed that apart from introducing transparency in operations the software has improved process efficiency. It automates the complete milk collection process and enables single click milk collection operations. The automation avoids manual intervention and integrates with milk testing equipment.
The application equips farmers and other stakeholders with relevant information to enforce accountability at every step. Farmers get instant SMSs for every transaction ensuring complete transparency and avoiding data manipulations. Farmers also have access to all past transactions with AMCS android application. The entire DCS level data is also available at milk union portal enabling better planning and execution controls. The transparency and efficiency strengthens milk producer’s faith in the system and also reduces transaction cost for the cooperatives.
The application helps to track diesel consumption as well as monitor complete BMC operations. This application manages complete product (Ghee, Cattle feed) trading operations at DCS level for local or central supplies of products along with managing rates, unit conversion, trade and consumer schemes and complete tracking and traceability of entire order to cash cycle.
