ABSTRACT
Dairy is one of the biggest agribusinesses in India and a significant
contributor to Indian economy. It operates round the year to deliver milk
and other dairy products to every human being. It is one the industries that
still relies heavily on regional supplies, mostly from the rural areas. In
regards to the dairy industry, Indian markets with the greatest growth
potential are also among the least developed in infrastructure and consumer
awareness. Though large scale dairies like Gokul have automated and latest
technology at their disposal, the small scale and mid-scale dairies are still
intimidated by the use of technology mostly because of the cost and
complexity of the IT systems. Hence, making the process much more
labouring, inefficient and error prone. Dairy production faces multiple
challenges, most of these challenges are related to the supply chain, at the
level of dairy farms and milk collection. One of the most common and
alarming challenges is deception of farmers by the upper management in
the dairies. The dairy farmers suffer from financial loss as they are often
deceived by collection center owners into paying higher commissions and
the dairy administrators are unaware of it. So in order to earn a profit, dairy
farmers turn to options like adulteration of milk which declines the milk
quality. This can be avoided by having an integrated system. An ERP
system will ensure that the farmers will get paid fair prices, the collection
center owners get their commission accordingly and the dairy administrator
can manage all this with ease. This will make the dairy industry more
reliable and profitable.

I. INTRODUCTION
In the existing system, most of the work is done
manually and using traditional methods like book-
keeping. Small scale and mid-scale dairy industries
either use outdated systems or they do not use one at
all .Lack of communication and knowledge among
the management is also a problem and as the industry
grows, this problem only becomes more intense.
Another problem is that most of the systems are not
centralized and do not provide financial transparency
among the entities. Using an integrated system will
eliminate almost all the manual work making the
process easy and effortless. It will optimize the
process and make the system centralized, secure and
efficient. The Smart Dairy ERP system will not only
be used by the Dairy administrators and employees
but also by the farmers and milk collectors that
supply milk to the dairies. Having an integrated
system in any industry is a must and Smart Dairy
ERP system will automate most of the process,
reducing the labour, give more control to the
administrators and most importantly provide financial
transparency among farmers, milk collectors and
administrators.
Smart Dairy ERP System is designed for farmers,
collection centers, and milk processing units (dairies).
This ERP software ensures efficient collaboration
between farmers, collection center owners, and
administrators, thus giving a sustainable competitive
advantage. The main purpose of the Smart Dairy ERP
Project is to facilitate communication between
farmers / local milk sellers and the milk factory. This
software will help the administrators to register all the
suppliers, buyer details, sales details, etc. It will also
allow the farmers and milk collection center owners
to track their day-to-day transactions. It is an
integrated system that provides relevant information
across the Dairy thus resulting in better management
and transparency. The Smart Dairy ERP system
supports the optimization of processes like
procurement including milk entry and milk payment
statement, transparent traceability across all value-
adding stages – from farmer to administrator,
automation and centralized control.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW
“ICT Benefit Realization for Dairy Farm
Management: Challenges and Future Direction”,
Tawa Khampachua and Nawaporn
Wisitpongphan[1]In this paper they propose a
benefit realization framework called Operation of
Realizing Benefit in Information Technology
(ORBIT). Since the framework focuses more on the
users rather than the ICT system, it identifies key
milestones, activities, and stakeholders that should get
involved in each of the 4 phases in the ICT project
life cycle, which includes planning, realization,
exploration, and evaluation
“Automatic Quality Information Management
System of Dairy Business”, Priyanka Donde,
Priyanka Maule, Prof. S. H. Darekar[2]In this
paper they propose the international dairy market. W
ith the current liberalization of India economy, it has
opened a wide field for entrepreneurs from other
countries to participate in development of Indian
dairy industry. The dairy industry which is the second
largest industry of India employs millions of persons
in our country.
“Dairy Digital Management Information System
Development Based on SOA”, Hongqiang Li,
Haibo Lu,Jiao Qu, Xiangling[3]This paper
describes the software of “dairy management
information system”. The software based on JSP +
Serverlet + JavaBeans model developed for medium-
sized dairy farms. The software is divided into herd
management, milk production management, cattle
breeding, statistics and analysis, a cattle ranch
management, system management functions, and
dairy cows can be a variety of technical data to
analyze, synthesize, organize, is a practical,
economic, and user-friendly information management
system for dairy farm.
“ Design of Information System for Milking Dairy
Cattle and Detection of Mastitis”, Ming-Chih
Chen, Chien-Hsing Chen, and Chong-Yu
Siang[4]They propose the management of the health
of dairy cows is critical for farmers. In particular,
when a farmer performs milking, the health of the
cow must be monitored accurately.
If the cow has mastitis in one or more udders, its milk
cannot be drunk. During milking, milk that is
produced by the cows is extracted to the milk tank. If
even one cow suffers from mastitis and the farmers
fail to notice the problem, then all the milk in the milk
tank must be drained off and the farmer must
disinfect the tank
III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
To develop a Dairy ERP system that optimizes
business processes, facilitates and efficiently collects
data, and provides transparency financial statements.
IV. TOPIC INITIATIVES
Objectives
1. To develop a web application to allow
administrators to register sellers, and view sales
details, financial statements, and other details.
2. To develop an android application for farmers to
allow them to view their financial transactions.
3. Develop an android application for collection
center owners to input milk details, calculate the
cost of the milk and view financial statements.
4. To ensure transparency and efficient management
of relevant information.
V. OUTLINE OF PROPOSED WORK
The user of the proposed system requires that the
developed system must be user-friendly, ensure
security and centralized control to the administrator
and produce results in a timely manner. The web
application and the android applications are simple to
understand and easy to use by the administrators or
dairy staff and farmers respectively. The system must
be designed in such a way that administrator has full
access to all the functionalities and the farmers and
milk collectors should be able to login into the apps
securely to view their information and transactions
which is visible to only them. The system must
provide relevant, reliable and up-to-date information
to the respective users.
Fig1 Outline of the Smart Dairy ERP System
Smart Dairy ERP System is designed for farmers,
collection centers, and milk processing units (dairies).
The main purpose of the Smart Dairy ERP Project is
to facilitate communication between farmers / local
milk sellers and the milk factory. The overall data is
stored in the centralized database .
1. Processing Unit (Dairy) Web Application: The
administrator (Dairy staff/operator) has overall access
to the web application. The administrator logs in to

the web application using an id and password. Using
the web application, administrators can perform all
registrations. He has the authority to register farmers,
collection center owners, other admins, and users. He
can edit or delete the data of all the registered entities.
For registering farmers, detailed information of
farmers is required. The farmer information such as
full name, address, mobile number, adhar card
number, no. of cows/buffalo, and 7/12 Details, etc.
Using this information a farmer will get successfully
registered and he will be assigned a unique farmer id.
Using this farmer id, he will be able to log in to the
farmer android application. Collector is a collection
center owner where farmers daily collect their milk
for sale. For registering collectors, information is
required like full name address, mobile number, etc.
After successful registration, he will be assigned a
unique collector id. The collector can login to the
milk collection application using this collector id. The
link collector_farmer tab is used to link a farmer with
the collection center where he can sell his milk . The
Admin will be able to view all the sales and payments
transactions, and also set the milk rate and
commissions for the milk collector and farmers.
2. Farmer Android App: When a farmer gets
registered, he will be allocated with a unique farmer
id and password. Using these a farmer can log in to
the farmer android application. When the farmer logs
in to the application, a screen will appear which will
provide two options, one for the profile and other for
transaction details. The farmer can view his milk
sales information such as milk’s quantity, quality (Fat
& SNF), and date/time of sale. The farmer can also
view the financial transaction history through this
application which will display the total amount to be
paid and also the status of the payment i.e paid or
unpaid.
3. Milk Collection App: The collection center
manager (or milk collector) when gets registered,
receives a unique Collector ID and password through
which he can log in to the Collector’s android
application. When the collection center owner logs in
to the application, a screen will appear which will
provide two options, one for the profile and the other
for the farmer’s list. The farmer list contains the
details of farmers who are linked under that collection
center. When he selects a particular farmer, he is
again provided with two options, add a new record
and view previous records of that farmer. In the new
record, the Collection Unit Manager will input the
details like Fat percentage, SNF, amount of milk
collected from the farmers which will be stored in the
database. Accordingly, the cost of milk will be
calculated which will be visible to farmer, collector as
well as the admin. In the view of the previous record,
the date of milk collection, quantity, rate of milk, and
payment status will be displayed.
Testing and Results
Test Case 1:
Name: User Login
Objective: To check whether only authorized users
can access the web application and android
application.
Input: The user puts his credentials (username and
password) in the provided fields of the login screen
and clicks the login button.
Output: If the user is authorized i.e. the credentials
are present in the database he can securely log in or
“Invalid Username or Password…!” message is
displayed on the screen.
Test Case 2:
Name: Farmer Registration and Collector
Registration.
Objective: To check new user registration and check
if the web app accepts duplicate registrations.
Input: The admin enters required details and presses
the register button.
Output: If the farmer or collector is new, that is, if the
details are not already present in the database then the
user is registered otherwise an error with message “
Data already exists with ROC ID/ Phone Number” is
generated.
Test Case Summary:
VI. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
CONCLUSION
The administrator can successfully register farmers
and collectors, and edit/view their information and
transactions using the web application. The milk
collector can use the collector android app to enter the
milk details from his mobile phone and also view his
financial transactions and the information of farmers
under his administration. The farmer can use the
‘Farmer android app’ to view his profile, track his
sales details and view his payments. The ERP System
provides transparency in financial transactions and
optimizes the overall business process.

FUTURE WORK
Incorporating Consumer in the system: We can build
a consumer e-commerce app so that the consumer can
directly view and buy products from the app. Hence
saving the time and hassle of visiting the store. We
build a payment portal within the Web Application.
We can include a payment portal so that the
administrator can directly pay the farmers and
collectors through the app using UPI. And scale the
system to track other products. We can scale the
system to keep an inventory of all the other products
manufactured in the dairy and automating every
possible process in the dairy.
