Abstract: A method that can monitor a milking process is presented and, in particular, a method and apparatus that can effectively determine the stage of the milking process. An additional aspect is to provide a method that may measure a vacuum level associated with the milking process, receive an operational state of a valve associated with the milking process, and compare the vacuum level and valve operational state to criteria to determine the milking stage. Further, the method may be configured to issue an indication of the milking stage or issue an alarm if alarm conditions are satisfied.

Abstract translation: 提出了可以监测挤奶过程的方法，特别是可以有效地确定挤奶过程阶段的方法和装置。 另一方面是提供一种方法，该方法可以测量与挤奶过程相关联的真空度，接收与挤奶过程相关联的阀的操作状态，并将真空度与阀操作状态与标准进行比较以确定挤奶阶段。 此外，该方法可以被配置为发出挤奶阶段的指示，或者如果满足报警条件则发出报警。
