Fusion 4.7 Released

We are excited to announce a new version of Fusion. Please read the release notes for the details, but here are some of our favorite new features—including support for a new product which allows you to access Fusion data from anywhere in the world.

Fusion Anywhere Compatibility

For years now, our most requested feature was for mobile access to Fusion. Starting with this version, Fusion is compatible with a new product we are offering called Fusion Anywhere.

Fusion Anywhere brings remote access to your local Fusion system without migrating your data to the cloud and without any technical setup. Your data stays right where it is: on-site, private, and under your control. At the same time, you can securely access it from anywhere in the world using just a web browser or mobile device. That means your employees, consultants, and partners stay connected while your system, data history, and security remain unchanged.

Fusion Anywhere is currently in beta. Please contact us if you are interested in testing it at your yard.

Micro Inclusion Calculator

Do you worry about the accuracy of your ration formulations, especially the micro ingredients? In Fusion 4.5 we introduced a feature that allows you to define threshold value to ensure micro inclusion rates don't accidentally get out of whack. In Fusion 4.7 we are addressing another concern which is figuring out the inclusion percentage in the first place. New in the Ration Edit window is the Micro Inclusion Calculator. Click it when you add a micro ingredient and it will help you figure out the correct percentage.

Pen Rider and Diagnosis Events

Have you wished you could keep track of who pulled an animal being treated? Now you can. When diagnosing an animal there is a new Pulled By (Pen Rider) field which can be used to enter the pen rider. Even better, if a Pen Rider is using Fusion Anywhere to view an animal's synopsis while in the pen, they'll be able to click a button on their phone to indicate they're pulling this animal while optionally adding information such as the symptoms they are seeing or the reasoning behind the pull. If the animal is treated on the same day, the pen rider's name will automatically be filled in and the information they entered is available to be read before making a diagnosis.

Remote Display Ingredient Names

Do you have a remote display on your truck that can show alpha characters? If you do, you'll appreciate some additional options in the Remote Display settings window. With these new settings, you can have Fusion display the ingredient name on the remote display for a few seconds before returning back to displaying the weight each time a new ingredient is selected.

New Comco Micro Machine Integration

If you have a Comco micro machine, you may benefit from our new "Comco Databridge" integration which has a more robust communication system and supports Comco machines with integrated liquid and micro gravity dispensers. The old integration will continue to work, but we encourage switching to the new one when possible.

Again, check the release notes for more details. And we'll talk more about Fusion Anywhere in the near future. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this version of Fusion!
