Case Study: Cainthus optimizes dairy yields with Digi camera networks, AI, and remote device management

Cainthus boosts milk production by 3.7 pounds per extra resting hour with Digi

Cainthus, a company focused on dairy farm optimization, faced the challenge of helping farmers with large herds monitor cow behavior and barn operations to improve milk yields and profitability. It was not feasible to manually oversee feeding, milking, and cow comfort across vast, remote farms. To address this, Cainthus worked with Digi International, utilizing Digi IX cellular routers and Digi Remote Manager.

The solution implemented by Digi International involved providing rugged, reliable cellular routers to connect smart cameras and a local server in each barn, sending data to the cloud for AI analysis. Digi Remote Manager enabled the mass configuration and remote management of all these devices. This gave farmers actionable, hourly insights into feed availability and cow behavior, leading to measurable results including a 5% increase in milk production from optimized feeding and a direct boost in output from recovering 20 minutes of cow resting time.
