The DeLaval VMS V310 is the latest generation of DeLaval's voluntary milking system, representing over 20 years of robotic milking development. The system allows cows to be milked 24 hours a day at their own pace, typically resulting in 2.5-3.5 milkings per cow per day.
Key innovations include the next-generation robot arm with improved teat detection accuracy, integrated teat cleaning and post-dip application, and quarter-level milk analysis including SCC and component testing. The InControl management software provides comprehensive herd monitoring, alerts, and decision support.
A single VMS V310 can milk approximately 60-70 cows, with multiple units providing scalability for larger operations. The system integrates with DeLaval's full ecosystem of feeding, cooling, and herd management products.
