Disclosed is a rotating animal milking platform control and monitoring system (17). The rotary platform (16) includes multiple animal stalls (12) arranged about its periphery. The system has an interactive display (27) which displays output information relating to the current status of operations on the platform (16) and which displays input channels for use by an operator. The platform (16) itself is represented at the interactive display (27) by an annular shape. Each stall (12) on the platform (16) is graphically represented by a cell which is displayed in a spatial arrangement corresponding to the arrangement of stalls (12) on the platform (16). Real-time status information relating to operations on the platform (16) is represented at each cell, and the rotating movement of the platform is represented by the progression of each cell about the displayed annular representation of the platform (16). The cell in the interactive display (27) can be individually selected in the display (27) by a user to thereby reveal additional status information relating to its corresponding stall (12).
