DeLaval's voluntary milking system automates milk production to an extreme degree, letting cows decide when they need to be milked, 24/7, and providing buffered controlled cooling (2) and a storage tank (3) for fresh milk. This amount of automation boosts productivity and keeps cows happy. Shown are the automatic milking station (1), a milk diversion unit (4), and the vacuum supply system (5).   (Source: DeLaval)
