In modern farm management, precision and timely action are key to profitability and sustainability. With complex operations involving livestock, crops, machinery, and manpower, even a small deviation in standard processes can lead to significant losses. That’s where Deviation Alerts play a critical role.
What Are Deviation Alerts?
Deviation alerts are real-time notifications triggered when a process, reading, or condition goes beyond pre-set acceptable limits. These could include deviations in:
- Temperature or humidity in storage or sheds
- Animal feed or water intake
- Milk production levels
- Equipment performance
- Inventory consumption
- Fertilizer or pesticide application
NavFarm enables smart, data-driven deviation alerts through IoT and automation, helping you keep a close eye on what matters most.
Why Deviation Alerts Are Crucial in Farm Operations
1. Preventing Losses Before They Happen
Early alerts help detect issues like diseases in livestock, drop in milk yield, or faulty irrigation systems—allowing immediate intervention before the problem escalates.
2. Maintaining Product Quality
For dairy farms, temperature deviations in cold storage can affect milk quality. For crop farms, wrong fertilizer doses can affect harvest. Alerts ensure product quality and compliance.
3. Improving Operational Efficiency
By identifying bottlenecks, delays, or inefficiencies instantly, alerts allow managers to act fast, optimize resource usage, and avoid wastage.
4. Data-Driven Decision Making
Deviation data over time helps in identifying patterns—like consistent equipment failure or feed inefficiencies—leading to long-term process improvements.
5. Worker Accountability & Safety
Alerts can track if SOPs are being followed—like hygiene protocols in milking or safety checks for machinery—helping reduce human error and increasing safety.
