The Lely Astronaut is a state-of-the-art automated milking system designed to transform dairy farming by improving efficiency, productivity, and animal welfare. This robotic milking solution allows cows to be milked voluntarily, reducing stress and optimizing milk yield while giving farmers more flexibility and time to focus on herd health. Equipped with advanced sensors and intelligent software, the Astronaut monitors each cow’s udder health, milking frequency, and milk quality in real time. Its precision technology ensures gentle and hygienic milking, while automated teat cleaning and udder detection enhance efficiency and consistency. Integrated with Lely’s management software, the system provides actionable insights on herd performance, health indicators, and feeding schedules, enabling farmers to make data-driven decisions. Designed for scalability and adaptability, the Lely Astronaut can be implemented in farms of various sizes, supporting up to hundreds of cows with minimal human intervention. By automating the milking process, Lely helps farmers reduce labor intensity, increase operational efficiency, and improve sustainability. Combining cutting-edge robotics, animal-friendly technology, and comprehensive herd management tools, the Lely Astronaut represents the forefront of precision dairy farming, delivering higher productivity and a healthier, happier herd.
