His presentation will be followed by a presentation on the “Economics of Automatic Milking Systems”, by Dr. He has designed about 600 dairy barns mostly in Finland, but also in Sweden, Estonia, Russia, Lithuania, Holland, and Germany. Pitkaranta specializes in dairy, young stock, and calf barn design especially focused on robotic milking barn design. The program will start at 10:30 with a presentation entitled, “Robotic Facilities Design Considerations” by Jouni Pitkaranta, an architect with 4d Barn located in Oulu, Finland. Mr.

The seminar will be held at the Osthoff Resort, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin beginning with registration at 10 am. In addition, robotic milking systems are capital-intensive investments.ĭairy farmers, consultants, and service providers interested in learning more about automatic milking systems technology are encouraged to attend the Building Our Dairy Future: Robotic Milking Systems Performance and Efficiency Seminar scheduled for Monday, January 28, 2019. Although dairy farmers may choose robotic milking systems for the aforementioned reasons, AMS requires a very high level of management and service skills. Some reasons for choosing automatic milking systems include a lack of labor, including reliable labor, and flexibility when cows are milked. That number is much higher in Canada and even greater in Europe. dairy farms have automatic milking systems (AMS), also known as robotic milking systems.
