DeLaval, a global leader in dairy farming solutions, recently opened a new technical training center in Ontario, Canada. During the opening ceremony, the VMS Solutions Manager, Jason French, discussed the company’s history and innovations. Founded in Sweden in 1871 by Gustaf DeLaval, the company celebrated its 140th anniversary last year. As an inventor, DeLaval created various machines for automated milking.
The initial goal of the VMS batch milking system robot was to help family farms sustainably manage their operations while increasing efficiency. In 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 and saw this innovation as a way to provide a new lifestyle for farmers.
In this article, we will explore the impact of the VMS batch milking robotic system on dairy farming operations tomorrow.
