AUTHOR: Nedap Livestock Management

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.

Nedap CowControl

Heat Detection and Health Monitoring

  • Fixed a typo on the tab Handled on the heat detection attention page. Under actions, the single quotation mark has been removed from the action "Move to 'Attentions".

Cow Locating

  • The location tracking of animals that are inside a milking robot has been improved.

  • The "Received" tab of the monitor page of the SmartTag receiver behaviour component (Maintenance > Behaviour Components > ...) showed the tags where the oldest messages were received from where it should show the tags the most recent messages were received from. This issue has been fixed.

General

  • Nedap constantly updates the software to prevent security vulnerabilities. In this version some 3rd party libraries have been updated because of this vulnerability: CVE-2024-6387.

  • Velos 2024.1 is the latest release compatible with certain components such as the VP8001 or the MPC-2. However, installations containing these components were still offered newer Velos versions as updates. This issue has now been resolved.

  • Translations have been updated in all supported languages.

  • In large installations, an out of memory error could occur in the queues that send data to Nedap Now. This issue has been resolved.

  • In installations using multiple VPUs (VP8002/VP8001) The main VPU sometimes was unable to discover the secondary VPUs. This issue has been resolved.

  • The VPU connection checker (Maintenance > VPU connection checker) failed on V-Pack firmware in case a V-Pack of type VP4102 was connected that was used as a repeater. This issue has been resolved.
