Agro Daily Milk Management

Abstract

Agro Milk Management is a digital dairy record automation system designed to replace manual registers and error-prone spreadsheets used in small and medium dairies. The solution is developed with a Web-based Dairy Owner/Admin dashboard and an Android Farmer application, integrated using Firebase Authentication and Firebase Realtime Database for secure access and real-time data synchronization. The admin dashboard enables dairy owners to register farmers with unique token IDs, record daily milk collection with fat-based rate calculation, manage supplement/expense deductions, and generate weekly payment settlements automatically. The farmer Android app provides transparent, secure access to personal daily entries, weekly payout statements, and deduction history, improving trust and reducing financial disputes. The system supports scalable multi-dairy isolation, ensures accurate automated calculations, and prepares a foundation for future analytics and milk supply forecasting, enabling efficient, data-driven dairy operations.

Introduction

Milk collection and payment management are critical operations for dairies, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas where many farmers supply milk daily. Traditional manual record-keeping and basic spreadsheets often lead to calculation errors, delayed payments, lack of transparency, data loss, and disputes between farmers and dairy owners. These challenges limit operational efficiency, reduce trust, and make long-term planning and data analysis difficult.

To address these issues, Agro Milk Management is proposed as a secure, real-time digital platform consisting of a Web-based dashboard for dairy owners/admins and an Android mobile application for farmers. Built using web technologies and Android development tools, the system leverages Firebase Authentication for secure, role-based access and Firebase Realtime Database for instant data synchronization across devices.

The system automates core dairy operations, including farmer registration with unique token IDs, daily milk entry with fat percentage, automatic rate calculation, deduction management, and accurate weekly settlement generation. Farmers can securely view their daily milk records, payment summaries, and deduction details in real time through the mobile app, ensuring transparency and reducing payment disputes.

The literature survey supports the system’s design by highlighting the role of IoT, machine learning, optimization, and digital record-keeping in improving milk quality monitoring, payment fairness, demand forecasting, and logistics efficiency. While the current system focuses on record automation and transparency, it also lays the foundation for future enhancements such as analytics dashboards, supply forecasting, and smart quality monitoring.

Testing and analysis demonstrate that Agro Milk Management significantly reduces human errors, improves calculation accuracy, enhances data security, and strengthens trust between farmers and dairy owners. Real-time updates, role-based access control, and organized digital records make the system efficient, reliable, and scalable, positioning it as a practical solution for modern dairy operations.

Conclusion

The Agro Milk Management successfully delivers a secure and transparent solution for dairy record handling by combining a Web-based Admin dashboard with an Android Farmer application using Firebase Authentication and Firebase Realtime Database. The system automates key operations such as farmer registration with token IDs, daily milk entry with fat-based rate calculation, deduction tracking, and weekly settlement generation. This reduces manual workload, minimizes calculation errors, improves record organization, and strengthens trust by allowing farmers to view their own daily and weekly records in real time. Overall, the proposed system proves effective for small and medium dairies that need accurate, scalable, and reliable digital management.
