DeLaval, a global leader in dairy farming solutions, has recently opened a new technical training center in Ontario, Canada. The VMS Solutions Manager, Jason French, discussed the company’s history and innovations.
Founded in Sweden over 140 years ago by Gustaf DeLaval, the company celebrated its anniversary last year. As an inventor, DeLaval created various machines for automated milking that led to the development of the VMS batch milking system robot patent in 1983.
During the 1980s, there was skepticism about the need for automated milking as farms traditionally relied on manual labor. However, DeLaval anticipated the shift towards modern farming practices. The initial goal of the VMS batch milking system robot was to help family farms sustainably manage their operations while allowing farmers to focus on other aspects of farm management. This innovation not only increased efficiency but also provided a new lifestyle for farmers.
In this article, we will explore the VMS batch milking robotic system in more detail to understand its impact on dairy farming operations. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s article where we will delve deeper into this innovative technology and its benefits for dairy farmers.
