AutoTandem: Efficient milking without stress

Light sensor

Animal changeover

AutoTandem milking stall

Now there's no need to wait forcows that are difficult to milk and slow down the entire milking process. Cow changeover in the individual stalls is controlled auto-matically by light sensors. It's easyto keep an eye on the animals and,what's more, they are more willingto be milked, which is the basis forcalm and continuous cow changeover.

AutoTandem: The milker's working conditions areimproved because his work load isevenly spread and milking comfortis greatly enhanced. The cows enterand leave their milking stall on theirown without any agitation, whichmeans they remain placid andstress-free throughout the entiremilking session. This, in turn, alsomakes the operator's work morecomfortable with higherthroughput.
