In this series, we delve deeper into DeLaval’s cutting-edge VMS Solutions Technology, commonly known as batch milking. VMS Solutions Manager, Jason French, explains that batch milking is a revolutionary process where cows go to a robot instead of a traditional parlor setting for milking. This system involves cows being moved to a group of robots that act as the parlor, rather than farmers walking them to a traditional parlor or rotary.
French emphasizes that batch milking allows farmers to maintain consistency in their milk production schedule by utilizing robots to milk cows uniformly. The robots are designed to maintain a stable position, ensuring that each cow receives the same level of attention and care during the milking process, even in the absence of human milkers. The holding area for cows is transformed into a relaxing environment with fans and the freedom to move between robots at their own pace.
In traditional parlors or rotary systems, cows are herded up all at once through a crowd gate. However, in batch milking, this gate is not necessary. Instead, cows can enter and exit the holding area freely and move between robots at their own pace. This setup ensures a more relaxed and stress-free environment for cows during the milking process.

Overall, VMS Solutions Technology’s batch milking system offers numerous benefits for both farmers and cows alike by providing consistency in milk production schedules while creating a relaxed and stress-free environment for milkers.
In conclusion, DeLaval’s new VMS Solutions Technology has brought about significant changes in dairy farming with its innovative approach to batch milking. With its unique design that allows for consistent milk production while maintaining high standards of animal welfare
