Cow Sense Premium Interface Component (PIC)
PIC (pronounced pick) is the interface component of the Cow Sense® suite of products. PIC is an add-on to the Commercial and Purebred modes that exchanges data with other segments of the industry.
Why Would I need PIC?
Although you can easily import and export data with the Import Tool included in Cow Sense, PIC provides seamless exchange of data with other entities using standard protocols. Midwest MicroSystems has established a number of working relationships, which allow the transfer of data into and from Cow Sense with other segments of the production system without re-keying.
This exchange may be between:
ranch and feedlot,
processor and ranch,
participating Breed Associations,
other industry partners, or
centralized data warehouses for purposes of national animal tracking
PIC stamps a template on the Cow Sense herd that customizes your program to fit the exact fields of information that your other production partners in the industry require.
PIC validates the data prior to export, ensuring accuracy and that all requirements have been met. This saves you time, improves accuracy and confidence. PIC then exports the data (following validation/correction) either to a file that can be forwarded on as an e-mail attachment, or delivered directly with the Cow Sense proprietary Mico FTP™ process to those production partners utilizing this more seamless approach.
