Challenge: automating a complex process
Monitoring animal health is a continuous process and requires proof from cattle farms, lab checks, registration and processing in systems and efficient communication to internal and external parties. For the GD, it is important that the entire process of declaring livestock farmers disease-free is automated and simplified in one modular system. Whyellow faced the challenge to solve this complex puzzle.
Solution: an intelligent engine
In order to optimize the entire process within the GD, all incoming proofs (test results), action requests (eg blood tapping), communication concerning logistics and actions had to be monitored and automated. Because of this Whyellow designed and developed RAP (Running Animal Health Program). RAP is the intelligent engine that assesses all test results, maintains the animal health status of the farmers, communicates with external systems and requests real-time actions. These real-time actions indicate which actions a farmer, the lab or another party must carry out. With RAP, Whyellow ensured that the entire process has been significantly improved. The Health Service for the Animals can work faster and focus can on core tasks more efficiently.
