As part of the agricultural industry revolution, robots are making their way onto farms, bringing forth a wave of technological advancements.

Among the adopted technologies are two Lely robotic milkers, which autonomously milk cows while monitoring various parameters such as cow activity, rumination, resting time, temperature, and milk quality and quantity.

A Barn-E robot takes care of manure cleanup within the barn, contributing to cleaner walkways and aiding in preventing foot issues in cattle.

Operating 24/7, this robot sends alerts if any issues arise. The Ranger robot, manufactured by Robivec Agrisolutions, autonomously dispenses feed for the cattle, ensuring constant access.

The Maximus system, responsible for controlling lighting and ventilation in the barn, monitors internal and external temperatures, wind speed and direction, and rainfall, Midland Today reported.

It adjusts ventilation levels accordingly, while lighting is regulated by time and lux sensors to provide a consistent light level year-round.

This integrated system keeps a check on heat and stray voltage, issuing alerts in case of any problems.

While many farmers are already using technology in various aspects of their operations, introducing these direct technological applications to the farm can address labor shortages and enhance the quality of life for producers.
