in two groups: milk trading and providing and providing input

Abstract- The National Dairy Development Board-initiated
coorperative declared that the milk and milk production increases
rapidly in India. The two main reasons for this increase are the
efficient collection of milk and higher profit for the producers, both
of which have to some degree been influenced by information
technology. The appropriate information technology will help to
make information symmetric in the market, thereby minimizing
problems of adverse selection and tedious work. Now the various
new technologies are arrives into agriculture due to that automation
is done in agriculture. In many dairy farms, automation is used so
that the productivity increase and the elimination of some tedious
operations. An embedded system is designed to perform a specific
task. So embedded systems are playing important roles in our lives
every day, even though they might not necessarily be visible. Here
our project aims to manage the data of milk union and the local
dairies/societies. Auto filling the values and giving daily updates of
the uploaded milk of cow or buffalo by the farmers on their mobile
phones and sending the information of collected milk at societies
with respective fat, SNF, quantity, added water, etc. Hence, for all
this web application and the mobile application have been
developed by us.
I. INTRODUCTION
Dairy is one type of the factory. This project examines the
issue related to the detail information of uploaded milk and
respective farmers. The milk producers of the villages with the
support of milk union form village dairy cooperative society. The
milk producers become the members by buying a minimum of one
share of the society and paying an entrance fee as per the bye-laws.
The society’s major operations can be classified
services. Milk trading involves reception, testing, local and sample
milk sale, dispatch of milk to milk union, payment and accounts
keeping. Input services include animal health coverage, breeding,
supply of cattle feed, fodder development, clean milk production
and extension services to producers members. Each morning and
evening, the milk is producers bring milk in their own
containers(stainless steel) to the society. That sample of milk is
given for testing the quality milk. Milk is collected in milk
containers. The measurement of milk is done carefully so as to
avoid foam, shortage etc. Quantity of milk supplied by each
individual along with the sample bottle of milk is recorded against
her/his name in the purchase register and the card/pass book of the
pourer. In many of the societies the process is semi automatic with
the help of computer and Electronic Milk Tester placed on line. A
printed slip is generated for each member giving details about the
date, shift, type of milk, producer identification number, weight
and fat% of milk, rate, price etc. Milk union generally pays the
price of milk from societies through bank on a regular interval i.e.
weekly, every ten days as the case may be. This process is same for
all the societies. Every day, the society members collect the milk
from the member-producers. The payment is done on the basis of
milk quality (fat, SNF, bacteriological) content of milk supplied by
individual producer. The union’s dairy plant collect all milk from
all its member-societies.
Dairy union receives milk from different villages .The
milk is transported from various local dairies to main center via
truck/vehicles. The information of the total milk collected in the
dairies of different villages gets informed only when the truck
actually reaches in the milk center. This is very much time
consuming. This may also give rise to illegal taking out the milk
from the trucks and selling the milk illegally. To reduce the illegal
working, the application will immediately send the data such as
quality, quantity, fat, SNF, Added water, dispatch time of truck etc
to the milk union. Also there may be illegal workings while the
truck collects the milk from different villages till the truck reaches
to the milk center. Due to this the milk center can be aware of how
much milk is going to be collected from respective dairies of the
villages. And also the farmers will also get the daily updates of the
milk uploaded by them .In short, the application will reduce the
manual work ,illegal works as well as the farmers will get the daily
updates of their uploaded milk to the dairies on their mobile
phones instead of the paper slips.
application have been developed by us.
Design:
Systems design is the process of defining the architecture,
components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy
specified requirements. Systems design could be seen as the
application of systems theory to product development. There is
some overlap with the disciplines of systems analysis, systems
architecture and systems engineering. This shows the working and
the flow of the system.

II. LITERATUR SURVEY

The research literature on Dairy Management system
has exponentially grown in recent years. In a domain where
new concepts and technique are constantly introduced, it is
therefore, of interest to analyze the recent trends of this
literature which is only partially included in the research
papers published. Therefore, we have chosen to primarily
analyze the literature of the last two years(2015 and 2016), on
the basis of a classification according to five categories:
• Collection of milk at local dairies at villages,
• Optimization in system,
• Auto filling of values related to the quality, quantity, etc,
• Hardware for auto filling

III. EXISTING SYSTEM fig1:System Design

DudhSangh web application:

In the existing system all the works are done manually.
Milk center collects the milk from different dairies from the
different villages. One truck collects milk from 4-5 villages. Milk
center gets the information of all dairies related to quantity, quality,
etc only when the truck reaches the actual place. This is very much
time consuming and also requires much efforts of the human
resources. And all the records in the local dairies are on the paper
or in the registers and farmers don’t get the daily details of
uploaded milk. All the work is done manually which is very much
time consuming.
Disadvantages of the existing System
• Inaccuracy
• Time Consuming
• Difficult to maintain
• Delay in the information
• Fake information
• Illegal works
This web application will provide all the facilities
such as adding new societies to the milk union,adding new
employees,details of all the members/societies as well as
the information of daily uploaded milk and collected milk
at the local dairies/societies. For this we have used html,
php,css as front end and database MySql as back end.
The module consist following details:
• Container details
• Ledger
• Details of uploaded milk of cow/buffalo to the
respective farmer.
• Send details dairy to DudhSangh
• Generate weekly and monthly reports
• Notify dispatch details by dairy to DudhSangh

This application is designed to replace the existing system

so as to increase the efficiency of a milk union as well as the
farmers and the local dairies. All the information about the local
dairies/societies are saved to the database of milk union and all
details of daily uploaded milk to the local dairies is immediately
send to the milk union and details of milk uploaded by farmer is
send to respective farmers.

IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM

Here our project aims to manage the data of milk union
and the local dairies/societies. Auto filling the values and giving
daily updates of the uploaded milk of cow or buffalo by the
farmers on their mobile phones and sending the information of
collected milk at societies with respective fat, SNF, quantity, added Snapshot1: Home page
water, etc. Hence, for all this web application and the mobile

Snapshot2: Farmer Data
Mobile application:
This application will provide the daily updates to the
farmers of their daily uploaded milk at the both times that is
at morning and evening. And also inform about their bills of
the uploaded milk to the dairies. We have used java and
android for this application.
The module consist following details:
• Farmer login
• Self-Ledger
• Dairy details
Hardware Integration:
In this module, we have done the hardware
integration for auto filling the values to the computer which
would reduce the manual work and also the illegal works.
This would auto fill the values of milk quality with respective
SNF, fat, Added water, etc. and the quantity of the milk.
The module consists following details:
• Weighing machine and fat machine
• Integrated Hardware
• Auto Filling

Snapshot4: Auto Filling
V. FUTURE SCOPE
The future of the dairy farm is an environment rich in
data, in which farmers and the profitability of their farms will be
optimized through automation.
VI. CONCLUSION
Thus we concluded thatour project will be very helpful
for storing the information about local dairies/societies and about
the milk collected. It requires less time and space for processing
and storing all information.It reduces the manual work. Using
this system will reduce manual and illegal works in milk union
as well as in the local dairies. And the farmers will be getting
daily updates of the milk uploaded to the local dairies.
