It is the starting price for the base Day One Milk dairy module before destination-specific equipment, capacity, cattle-management hardware, site work, utilities, freight, taxes, commissioning and local approval requirements. Crystal Creek confirms the final scope and price after a project call.

That is the target for a fully pre-prepared site: the pad, access, power, water, drainage, lifting plan, local inspections and operators must all be ready before arrival. Site conditions, local approvals and final configuration can extend the schedule.

No. The containers are production environments, not storefronts. Finished products move into an approved local distribution, institutional or retail channel outside the modules.

No. Every cow remains outside beneath a deployed steel roof wing. A permanent insulated wall preserves the production boundary, and milk passes through dedicated sanitary connections. A compact bank can be studied with two or three separated stalls; final stall count, hinges, posts, anchors and weather loads require destination-specific engineering.

The system uses a gated single-file approach race along the canopy’s open edge. A crowd gate and anti-back gate guide one cow through a calm turn into the next stall, while a separate forward-release exit keeps outgoing cows away from incoming traffic. Final dimensions and handling details are matched to local cattle and animal-welfare requirements.

Day One Dairy is engineered and delivered by Crystal Creek USA, a family business with dairy, refrigeration and fabrication experience. Crystal Creek remains the manufacturer and technical authority behind every configured system.

The module logic is repeatable, but equipment, throughput, product mix, utilities, climate package and approval pathway are configured around the receiving site and local operator.

The target covers configuration, engineering, fabrication, fit-out, testing and dispatch planning after the scope is locked. Custom equipment, approvals, shipping lanes and site readiness can change the final schedule.

Production keeps running locally. The PLC, HMI, manual controls, interlocks and safety systems do not depend on the cloud. The industrial gateway is designed to buffer about 30 days of operating data and synchronize it after a connection returns.

Only authorized Crystal Creek engineers can issue allow-listed commands, and every request requires a reason, a two-step confirmation and a permanent audit record. The gateway still checks identity, command freshness, engineered limits, equipment state and local interlocks before execution. Local operators see only their own deployment; Crystal Creek engineers can see the supported fleet.

No. Emergency stops, safety relays, protective cut-outs, animal gates and folding roof mechanisms are monitor-only from the remote console. Remote commands cannot rewrite the PLC program or bypass local safety logic.

Starlink is the preferred connection where it is legally available and approved for the receiving site. Day One Connected includes the specified mount, protected power and cabling, secure network integration and commissioning. The local partner owns the appropriate business account and subscription; country availability, plans and approvals can change.

Day One Rapid provides portable cold-chain capacity for farm pickup, last-mile delivery and temporary chilled or frozen storage. Crystal Creek confirms the model, temperature range, power, local compliance and warranty for each order.

No. The technical connection can remain available continuously, but staffed support response is during published Crystal Creek business hours. Response targets and any project-specific escalation coverage are defined in the support agreement.

Deployment owners retain ownership of their operating data. The final agreement defines authorized Crystal Creek access for support, retention periods, exports, security responsibilities and any required program reporting.
