Improvement of Functioning Reliability of Dairy Farm Ergotic Control Systems
The article deals with the features of the functioning of the ergatic “man-machine” system and the requirements for the main factors determining the life and productivity of animals - food, water, light, rest. (Research purpose) The research purpose is to improve the reliability and efficiency of the ergatic “man-machine-animal” system, its impact on the quality of dairy farm management. (Materials and methods) We described various factors determining the life activity and productivity of animals. We considered the management structure of these factors. We developed a criterion for assessing the quality and volume of work: gross yield, amount of beef, offspring. We described the characteristics of the quality and volume of work: the gross yield, the amount of beef, offspring. We calculated the efficiency of the technical systems in terms of the products volume produced with a given probability of the ergatic system. (Results and discussion) During the research, we revealed that in the example of the results of economic activity under the same climatic and socio-economic conditions only management decisions led to a large spread of the results. In the scheme, each controlled factor must have a digital information block as one of the necessary conditions for the transition to the digital economy. (Conclusions) We found that in order to develop and increase the intellectual potential of control systems, a mandatory element is a block of information cognitive resources. Experience has shown that there is a need for an additional control unit in the form of the owner of the farm, the founders or any other authority.
