DeLaval, a leading dairy farming solutions provider, recently opened a new technical training center in Ontario, Canada. During the grand opening ceremony, VMS Solutions Manager Jason French shared with us the company’s rich history and innovative achievements. Founded in Sweden in 1873, DeLaval is proud to celebrate its 140th anniversary this year, tracing back to Gustaf DeLaval who invented the cream separator in 1883.
As an inventor, Gustaf DeLaval created various machines for automated milking. In 1983, he patented the VMS batch milking system robot that revolutionized dairy farming practices. Despite initial skepticism from traditional farmers who relied on manual labor, DeLaval anticipated the shift towards modern farming practices. The primary goal of the VMS batch milking system robot was to help family farms sustainably manage their operations by allowing farmers to focus on other aspects of farm management. This innovation not only increased efficiency but also provided farmers with a new lifestyle choice.
In this article, we will delve deeper into the impact of the VMS batch milking robotic system on dairy farming operations and explore its significance in modern agriculture today.
