Prompt TankAssure
Automatic Milk Sampling System with RFID and GPS technology
Accurate data of the milk quantity and temperature collected by milk tankers from various milk collection points on different routes, is an essential piece of information in the milk value chain. Even minor deviations from the expected milk quantity may hinder effectiveness and profitability of the entire chain of milk sample collection process.
Prompt has leveraged the RFID and GPS technology, and developed a solution for automatic milk sampling – Prompt TankAssure. Prompt TankAssure is a closed, containerized and digitally password protected system which consists of 6+1 / 14+1 sampling pumps, and RFID tagged tamper-proof sample vials. It comes in the form of a box which is mounted on the milk tanker, and functions to automatically collect BMC milk samples, record milk quantity (through magnetic flow meter) and milk temperature (through in-built temperature sensor).

Key Features
The entire system is electronically locked (password protected) and can be opened only at the dairy plant through authorized persons only with mobile app.
Prompt Logistics App and /or Prompt AMCS software can be integrated in this system for route management.
The entire operation is controlled by a web-based application system operated through Tablet device. The data can be transferred to the central system at the dairy for further analysis & evaluation.
The bottles and frame are mounted in an insulated enclosure to ensure that the temperature of the milk sample collected is maintained and it does not deteriorate before it reaches the main dairy.
The RFID tag on the bottle stores the location and milk collection details, at the milk collection point, from where the sample has been collected. This data can be read only at the main dairy through RFID reader.
Benefits
Enhanced Sampling Accuracy: Collects uniform and representative samples ensuring consistent and accurate sampling from each milk collection point.
Quality Composite Samples: Maintains the correct proportion of milk collected from each collection point, and also ensures that composite samples are collected accurately, reflecting the total milk quality.
Comprehensive Data Collection: Automatic logging of detailed data for quality control, traceability and data analysis.
Ensures Compliance and Traceability: Meets all the regulatory requirements ensuring consistency, and provides accurate sampling improving traceability across the dairy supply chain.
Enhanced Quality Control: Measures milk temperature and volume at each milk collection point, aiding in precise quality assessments and inventory management.
Operational Efficiency: Automates the process of milk collection, reducing time and manual effort and minimizing the need of manual labour.
Cost Efficiency: Reduces costs incurred due to manual sampling such as labour and consumables.
Indigenous System: An indigenous and cost effective automatic milk sampling system made for Indian Dairy Industry.
Frequently asked questions about Prompt TankAssure
Prompt TankAssure is an Automatic Milk Sampler System for Milk Tankers that uses RFID and GPS technology to automatically collect milk samples from various collection points and measure milk quantity and temperature transferred in the Tanker.
Prompt TankAssure is an electro-mechanical, intelligent box mounted on the rear side of a milk tanker. It has seven/Fifteen sampling pumps and RFID-tagged tamper-proof sample vials.
