Abstract: A rotary milking parlor arrangement contains a rotating platform with stalls configured to house a respective animal during milking, a set of at least three drive units causing the rotating platform to move in a first rotational direction, and a primary control unit controlling operation of each drive unit in the set of drive units. A set of links connect the drive in a ring network in including the primary control unit. Each link is bi-directional. The primary control unit identifies any single faulty link in the set of links by: transmitting a first signal in a clockwise direction through the ring network, transmitting a second signal in a counter clockwise direction through the ring network, and checking how far the first and second signals can be transmitted through the ring network in the clockwise and counter clockwise direction respectively without being interrupted by the single faulty link.

Abstract: Tools in an automatic milking arrangement are picked up by using a robotic arm (110). The robotic arm (110) moves a camera (130) to an origin location (PC) from which the camera (130) registers three-dimensional image data (Dimg3D) of at least one tool (141, 142, 143, 144). The three-dimensional image data is processed using an image-based object identification algorithm to identify objects in the form of the tools and hoses (152). In response to identifying at least one tool, a respective tool position (PT1, PT3, PT4) is determined for each identified tool based on the origin location (PC) and the three-dimensional image data. Then, a grip device (115) is exclusively controlled to the one or more of the respective tool positions (PT1, PT3, PT4) to perform a pick-up operation. Thus, futile attempts to pick-up non-existing or blocked tools can be avoided.

Abstract: A milking system includes a milking device with a milking control, a milk line, and a sampling/analysis device. The milking control controls the milking based on said analysis. The sampling/analysis device includes a reagent carrier, including a tape with a first side with a reagent pad that detects the presence of a substance in the milk sample and a second side, a dosing device to provide a droplet of said sample onto the reagent pad, a source for emitting source radiation onto the reagent pad, and a sensor to detect response radiation emitted by the reagent pad, and to analyse the detected response radiation to indicate the presence or concentration of said substance. The first side faces away from the sensor during analysing by the sensor. By viewing “from below”, the observed reaction in the reagent is cleaner, and suffers less from artefacts, and the camera will stay cleaner.

Abstract: A method for milking a dairy animal with a robot milking device including a teat position determination system and a controller. The method includes allowing the robot milking device, with the help of the teat position determination system, to make one or more connection attempts for connecting at least one milking cup to a teat of the dairy animal, and milking with all connected milking cups where the controller records a number of failed connection attempts. The number of failed connection attempts #MA in a predefined number of milkings, which number of milkings is at least equal to a predefined number #MB, fulfils a predefined criterion, automatically adapting the milking criterion by means of the controller.

Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a milking point includes an input configured to receive an electrical pulsation signal for controlling pulsation of a pulsator, and a processor configured to identify the occurrence of a milking session based on the electrical pulsation signal received at the input. A signal sensor measures a characteristic of the pulsation signal. The monitoring system may include a connector configured for electrical connection with a solenoid of a pulsator of the milking point. A power harvesting module is configured to harvest power from a flyback voltage generated by the solenoid upon interruption of a current supplied to the solenoid.

Abstract: A method and device for milking using a milking system with a control unit and an adjustable stimulator, including stimulating for a stimulus time and subsequently milking a dairy animal, measuring and evaluating the milk flow profile in order to determine if the milk flow profile is bimodal. If it is, then the control unit automatically adjusts the stimulating operation by extending the stimulating operation by an extension value. If it is not, then the control unit may, optionally automatically, shorten the stimulating operation. As a result, the milking system is able to reduce the strain on the teats caused by unnecessary stimulation or by milking in an efficient way during a bimodal part of the milking operation and also to adjust this during the entire lactation, if necessary. In this way, changes in the dairy animal itself are also compensated for.
