Astronaut

Control the input, optimize the output

Your farm is a unique ecosystem, and you understand its intricacies better than anyone else. The same goes for your cows – their habits, preferences, and individual nuances are second nature to you. Lely robotic milking systems mirror your actions, decisions and daily rhythms, freeing you up to spend more time managing your dairy, instead of running it.

  • Cow freedom of choice

    Cow freedom of choice

    Free cow traffic provides cows a stress-free environment where they can follow their natural instincts to feed, rest or be milked.

  • Individual treatment

    Individual treatment

    Every cow, down to every one of her teats, is unique and needs to be treated individually. 

  • Optimize cow health

    Optimize cow health

    Cow performance is optimized when cows are healthy. Health requirements are critical to success.

  • Handle milk with care

    Handle milk with care

    Milk is a valuable but perishable commodity and needs to be handled with care to maintain quality.

Letting go pays off

How free cow traffic works

With free cow traffic, the cow decides when she eats, drinks, lies down and is milked. This improves her wellbeing. By taking care of our cows and putting extra effort into cow comfort, we are able to extend lifetime and milk production.
