Parlor Reports

IMPORTANT: To use this feature, your dairy must integrate ParlorComp with the VAS PULSE Platform.

To use this feature, your VAS PULSE Platform user account must be assigned to a Role with Parlor Read permissions. See Edit User Permissions and Manage Roles for more information.

The Parlor Reports page summarizes and compares parlor performance data, such as total milk produced, average milk per hour, average cows milked per hour, details by pen, and details by washup phase. By displaying this data on one easy-to-read page, the Parlor Report allows you to determine whether your dairy's milking performance is meeting expectations or if it may need adjustments.

You can find this feature under the ParlorComp menu. You can then view the information that is illustrated in the example below:
