Dairy Automation

Repetitive Jobs. Automated.

Feeding, pushing up, scraping, hoof care and sorting are jobs that never stop. Automation is about taking the ones that repeat every day and letting the system handle them. There is a lot on this page — keep scrolling.

Robotic Feeding

Fresh Feed. Delivered Automatically.

Triomatic brings together a Feed Kitchen and Feeding Robot to automatically load, mix and deliver fresh rations throughout the day.

Fresh feed, delivered throughout the day

Keep fresh ration available at the feed barrier with multiple automatically scheduled deliveries.

Consistent feeding for healthier, happier cows

Deliver an accurately mixed ration at regular intervals, supporting stable rumen health, cow wellbeing and milk production.

Less labour. Less machinery time.

Automate one of the farm's most repetitive daily jobs and free up time for work that matters elsewhere.

Feed around your herd, not your schedule

Create feeding programmes and delivery schedules designed around the needs of your cows.

Know exactly what is being fed

Greater visibility over ingredients, recipes and feeding activity helps you maintain control of your feeding operation.

Complete control, wherever you are

Manage recipes, schedules and system activity from your computer, phone or tablet.

How It Works

From Feed Kitchen To Feed Barrier.

You keep the kitchen stocked. The robot does the rest.

  1. 01

    Keep the kitchen stocked

    Keep feed ingredients topped up as part of your normal routine.

  2. 02

    Collects every ingredient

    The robot automatically collects each ingredient in the programmed quantity.

  3. 03

    Mixes an accurate ration

    Ingredients are precisely mixed into the ration you've programmed.

  4. 04

    Delivers fresh feed

    Freshly mixed feed is delivered directly to the feed barrier.

  5. 05

    Repeats automatically

    Multiple accurate, freshly mixed deliveries every day — without starting a tractor.

Step One

Two Ways To Move

Choose How The Robot Moves.

Floor-driven

WP — Power Rail · WB — Battery

Travels on the floor, with either continuous power from a rail or battery operation for greater freedom of movement.

Whichever route you choose

Both systems share the same Triomatic fundamentals: twin mixing augers, multiple daily deliveries, left or right discharge and full control from your computer, phone or tablet.

Step Two

The Feed Kitchen

Choose How Your Ingredients Are Stored.

The Feed Kitchen stores and presents each ingredient ready for the robot to collect. Four configurations allow the system to be designed around the feeds you use, the machinery you already have and the space available.

FeedStation

Individual Feeding. Built Around Your Herd.

Give every cow the right amount of concentrate, in a feeding station configured around the way your herd is managed.

The Hanskamp FeedStation provides individual, automatic concentrate feeding away from the parlour. Cows are identified as they enter and receive their programmed feed allocation automatically, helping create a consistent feeding routine while reducing daily manual work.

Individual cow feeding

Automatically identify individual cows and deliver their programmed concentrate allocation, helping provide a controlled feeding programme across the herd.

Anti-bullying closing gate

Give cows the time and space to finish their feed without being pushed away by other animals. The closing gate shuts behind the cow once she enters the FeedStation, helping prevent other cows from pushing her out while she feeds. Available in electric or pneumatic configurations, with Texas gate options available where headroom is limited.

Walk-in or walk-through

Choose the configuration that best suits your dairy and cow flow. Walk-in stations provide an open feeding space, while walk-through configurations allow cows to enter and leave forwards, helping maintain smooth movement through the feeding area.

Solid or liquid feed

Configured for different feeding requirements, with PipeFeeder for solid feed such as nuts and MultiDos for liquid feed, so the appropriate feed reaches each cow automatically.

Modular and expandable

Install individually or link stations together to provide multiple feeding places. The modular design allows the system to be configured around your herd size, available space and feeding requirements.

Designed around your dairy

With multiple configurations and options available, the FeedStation can be adapted to different buildings and cow-flow arrangements. We can help plan the installation around your existing dairy system and feeding requirements.

Moov 2 Pro

Silage pusher

The Moov 2 Pro automatically pushes feed back towards the feed fence throughout the day, helping ensure cows always have easy access to their ration. By following programmed routes and schedules, it removes the need for repeated tractor or manual push-ups while supporting consistent feed availability, intake and a calmer feeding routine. An optional lift kit allows it to travel across uneven areas, helping reduce wear on the machine.

JT200 Evo

Manure scraper robot

The JT200 Evo automatically cleans manure passages on programmed routes throughout the day, helping maintain cleaner floors with less manual labour. Its flexible routing makes it suitable for a wide range of barn layouts, including narrow passages, crossings and waiting areas, while optional front and rear water spraying helps tackle drier areas and improve overall barn hygiene. An optional lift kit allows it to travel across uneven areas, helping reduce wear on the machine.

Precision You Can Build Into The Floor

Set The Route. Let The Robot Do The Work.

Unlike navigation systems that rely solely on sensors or external positioning, JOZ robots follow physical transponders installed in the floor. Each transponder has its own unique identification, giving the robot a precise, repeatable reference point as it travels around the shed.

The robot's antenna energises each passive transponder as it passes overhead, allowing it to read its exact identity without batteries, charging or regular replacement. Once installed, the transponders become a permanent part of the navigation infrastructure.

You programme the routes and schedules. The robot knows where it is, where it needs to go and when to return to its charging or refill station — delivering reliable navigation, day after day.

Automatic Footbath

Hoof Care. Automated.

Take the work out of managing the footbath. Automatic filling, chemical dosing, cow counting and flushing work together to deliver a consistent hoof-care routine, with less manual intervention.

Cow counting

Automatically counts cows as they pass through the footbath, allowing the treatment solution to be changed at the programmed interval.

Automatic chemical dosing

Automatically adds the required treatment chemical, helping maintain a consistent solution without manual mixing.

Programmable cycles

Set the cow count and treatment cycles to suit your herd and hoof-care routine.

Automatic empty, flush and refill

Once the programmed number of cows has passed through, the bath automatically drains the used solution. A powerful spray then rinses the bath, clearing away remaining material before it refills with fresh water and treatment chemical, ready for the next group of cows.

Heavy-duty rubber matting

A rigid, heavy-duty rubber mat provides a durable standing surface inside the bath.

Configured for your dairy

Multiple lengths

Available in multiple lengths to suit different installation requirements and cow-flow arrangements.

Optional stainless steel side skirts

Add stainless steel side skirts for a more enclosed installation and defined cow flow.

Optional walk-through railing system

Create a complete, controlled passage through the footbath with galvanised railings and archways. Multiple sections can be added to suit the length of the footbath and cow-flow layout.

Fits any milking system

Suitable for parlours, rotary parlours and robotic milking systems, with the footbath integrated into the wider cow-flow and milking setup.

Less manual work. More consistent hoof care.

Connected Herd Technology

Turn Everyday Activity Into Useful Insight.

Afimilk technology watches what cows are already doing and turns it into something you can act on.

  • AfiCollar — Understand what your cows are telling youMonitors eating, rumination and activity around the clock, helping identify heats, behavioural changes and potential health issues earlier.
  • Milk meters — See production at every milkingRecords individual milk yield, flow and conductivity, giving you a continuous picture of each cow's production and helping flag potential udder health issues.
  • AfiLab — Look deeper into every litreAnalyses milk inline for fat, protein and lactose at every milking, adding valuable insight into nutrition, health and individual cow performance.
  • AfiFarm — Bring the whole picture togetherCombines data from across the farm into clear insights, attention lists and reports — helping turn thousands of data points into practical actions.

Every Milking

Every Drop Tells You Something.

AfiLab analyses milk inline as it leaves the cow, measuring fat, protein and lactose at every milking. Rather than relying on occasional samples, it continuously builds a picture of each cow — helping reveal changes in health, nutrition and performance as they develop.

  • A closer look at milk compositionIndividual fat, protein and lactose measurements from every cow at every milking.
  • See change before it becomes a problemDaily trends can help identify potential metabolic, nutritional and health issues earlier.
Automated Sorting

The Right Cow. The Right Place. Automatically.

HighSMK_AU_Gates_01.jpg

Real separation gate photography.

A cow walks through, is identified and the system knows where she needs to go. Most continue on their normal route without interruption, while cows requiring treatment, breeding or further management can be automatically directed to the right place — without anyone searching the shed or standing at a gate.

Sorting gates can do far more than separate cows for attention. Integrated into wider cow-traffic systems, they can help manage movement between grazing, feeding, housing and robotic milking — directing cows intelligently around the farm according to their individual needs.

One Connected Farm

Automation Works Better Together.

Automated feeding, milking, scraping and sorting each solve a different job. Planned as one connected system, they work around each other to create a more efficient routine — reducing repetitive labour and keeping the farm moving around the clock.
