Three key benefits of connectivity
Avoid duplicate data entry
Enter data once for all systems — without redundant entries or reconciliation work.
Current and consistent information
Shared standards ensure that everyone involved can access the same up-to-date data basis.
Secure and efficient exchange between systems
Interfaces enable secure and efficient data exchange between organizations, systems and regions.
Systems and data sources in the network
The RDV connects different data sources, systems and stakeholders into one secure overall network.
Sensor data
Automatically recorded animal and health data from modern sensor systems.
HIT / AMA
Official animal identification systems in Germany (HIT) and Austria (AMA).
Milking technology manufacturers
Comprehensive data from various manufacturers on milk yield and other parameters.
Data centers
Partners for breeding value estimation and further data processing.
Breeding associations
Regional breeding associations provide and use pedigree, insemination and performance data.
Laboratories
Raw milk data from milk performance testing and milk quality testing.
Well connected.
RDV GmbH is strongly connected and works closely with other organizations in the industry. Industry-wide and international standards are maintained through ICAR and BRS. The largest international partnership, iDDEN, was established to simplify data exchange related to milk production. Associations such as EMR and “Die Milchkontrolle” connect the various milk recording associations and pool resources for new developments and their transfer into agricultural practice.
Data exchange with the industry
In addition to memberships and partnerships with various organizations, RDV maintains regular data exchange with a number of other companies in the industry. Communication takes place via standardized and secure protocols such as REST interfaces. Protecting farm-owned data is the highest priority. New interfaces are planned and tested in close coordination with the partners involved and put into production following a defined approval process.
