Abstract: The dairy sector remains a cornerstone of Indian agriculture, facing persistent challenges such as manual inefficiency, data fragmentation, and increasing demands for quality and traceability. This paper analyzes contemporary dairy management systems, focusing on the adoption of digital technologies—Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)—to streamline operations, optimize productivity, and improve animal welfare. Evidence from recent deployments and technology pilots demonstrates that technologically- augmented management not only boosts efficiency but also aligns the sector with Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) compliance and export requirements. Implementation challenges and recommendations for scalable, farmer-friendly solutions are discussed.
