Abstract. Sensor technology in dairy farming has revolutionized animal management by increasing productivity, health monitoring, and overall farm efficiency. However, integrating sensor data from multiple devices and brands poses considerable challenges. This article delves into the major challenges that dairy farmers encounter when using various sensor technologies, such as data compatibility, interoperability, standardization, data security, and data management problems. It also covers prospective solutions, such as standardizing data, harmonization efforts, and enhanced data integration approaches. Addressing the aforementioned challenges is a cornerstone for fully harnessing the potential of sensor technology in the dairy industry.
Keywords: precision technologies; dairy farms; sensors; standardization; data.
