Prerequisites
- Protein customers must configure the Sonar Interface in their Protein environment. For Amino customers, this setup is automatic.
- Only farms with the "Sonar" flag enabled in the farm master will be synced to Sonar.
Benefits
For customers already using MTech's Protein or Amino platforms, integrating with Sonar ensures seamless communication between growers and integrators. As farm data is updated in Protein/Amino for Sonar farms, it is instantly reflected in Sonar. Additionally, daily summarized data is downloaded from Sonar to Protein/Amino each night. This enables customers to generate reports within Protein/Amino using Sonar data, analyzing it alongside other available information. This integration also enhances planning systems such as BRPA and FDSA, improving projections for placements, feed deliveries, and processing.
How it Works
Data Sent from Protein/Amino to Sonar
For farms connected to Sonar, the following data is uploaded from Protein/Amino:
- Master Data
- Growouts
- Farms
- Houses
- Feed Bins
- Animal Products
- Standards
- Flocks
- Users - Amino Only
- Thresholds - Amino Only
- Benchmarking Settings - Amino Only
- Standard Cost Settings - Amino Only
- Transactional Data
- Placements
- Feed Transactions
- Field Transactions (e.g., mortality and culls)
- Processing
- Condemnation
- Grower Pay
- Planning Data
- Planned Placements (BRPA)
- Planned Feed Deliveries (FDSA)
- Planned Processing (BRPA)
Data Sent from Sonar to Protein / Amino
Every night, Protein or Amino downloads field transaction data for each Sonar flock and house, containing all relevant Sonar metrics. This functionality requires Protein version 7.36 or later. A full list of downloadable data includes:
