How does it work?
Breaking down the automated batch milking process
- Cows are guided to the holding area at fixed times.
- A small amount of pellet, or something inexpensive like molasses, can be fed through the feed trough to expedite cow entry.
- Each cow enters the DairyRobot individually, where they undergo automated milking using our state-of-the-art In-Liner Everything™ technology.
- Cows are monitored in real-time and sensors check for milk quality — by individual quarter.
- After milking, cows exit the robot, making way for the next in line and return back to the housing area (through sort gates if desired).
- Employees only need to manage cow movement and oversee the milking process, significantly reducing the need for milking staff labor.
- It’s an efficient, stress-free process for the employees and the cows!
