PRODUCTION OF MAXIMUM QUANTITIES OF HIGH QUALITY MILK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF EVERY DAIRY OPERATION. AS MASTITIS AFFECTS ALL SEGMENTS OF THE DAIRY INDUSTRY - FROM ANIMAL HEALTH, TO LOST MILK PRODUCTION, AND TO LOWER MANUFACTURABILITY, IT IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DISEASE OF DAIRY HERDS AND HAS HUGE EFFECTS ON FARM ECONOMICS. MASTITIS CAN BE EITHER ENVIRONMENTAL OR INFECTIOUS, AND NO SIMPLE SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ITS CONTROL. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH INVESTIGATES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINTABLE DAIRY FARMING CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEM THAT SYNERGISTICALLY INTEGRATES NOVEL SENSING, PROCESSING, AND CONTROL APPROACHES, ADDRESSES CHALLENGING ISSUES IN COMBATING MASTITIS TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR COST-EFFECTIVE MASTITIS CONTROL AND BIOSECURITY, DIRECTLY BENEFIT DAIRY PRODUCERS WORLDWIDE. TWO OF THE CPS RESEARCH TARGET AREAS, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING OF CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS, ARE ADDRESSED IN THE PROJECT.
