Application

Robotic milking

Robotic milking changes both the milking process and daily herd management. A sound evaluation considers cow traffic, barn layout, herd size, service response, milk handling and management software—not just the robot hardware.

What to consider before choosing

Typical environments include:

Dairy barns
Free-cow-traffic systems
Existing farms considering retrofit
New dairy facilities

Potential benefits

Automates recurring milking activity
Can give cows more flexible access to milking
Combines milking events with herd-management data

Decision factors

Validate the deployment, not only the spec sheet.

Herd size and expected visits per robot
Barn flow and cow traffic
Service coverage and uptime expectations
Milk quality workflow, consumables and management software
