Velos 2024.1.SR2 Dairy Farming

This Nedap Velos software version contains new and improved functionalities that provide new solutions, add valuable options to existing solutions and further increase the ease of use of Velos.

Nedap FarmControl

Identification

• Fixed an issue affecting rotary parlour identification, where the system failed to function properly if the number of the first milk place was not equal to 1. This problem was primarily observed on farms operating multiple parlours, where subsequent parlours do not start with number 1 by default, given that milk place numbers must be unique across the system.

General

• Nedap constantly updates the software to prevent security vulnerabilities. In this version some 3rd party libraries have been updated because of these vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-29857, CVE-2024-30172, CVE-2024-30171.

• On the page Settings > V-packs we have added a button "Slow network".

  

  In Velos installations, slow mobile connections are sometimes used to bridge longer distances. This is particularly used in grazing areas where it is occasionally necessary to place a VP4102 with an antenna in the field. Although the communication between VPUs and V-Packs as in fact requires these connections to be faster and more stable, we now permit the use of these slower connections. Allowing a slow network prevents the system from constantly notifying that V-Packs can no longer be found. However, this may result in firmware updates for V-Packs not functioning properly and potentially incomplete data transmission over the connection. Therefore using this feature is at the user's own risk.

  

• Removed the Mobile-me-QR-code from the footer of the Velos pages.

• When restoring a backup, the progress bar would get stuck at 50%, even if restoring the backup was successful. This has been fixed.
