Lely Robotic Milking System
Lely Robotic Milking; How it works
General Purpose: To inform.
Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, the audience will be educated in what the robotic milking systems are and how they operate to create an effective and efficient way of milking.
Thesis: Many of you probably know or have heard of the old fashion way of milking, but today I want to inform you of what the Lely Robotic Milking System is and how it works.
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Technology…that word means so many things to many different people. When you look into the dairy industry you will find several different types arise.
B. One specific company which deals with dairy technology is Lely, who specializes in the robotic milking systems.
C. Robotic Milking Systems have become popular throughout the dairy industry, causing a change in how dairy farms operate.
D. All of you probably know about the hand milking way, but today I want to inform you of what the Lely Robotic Milking System is and how it works.
II. TO START OFF, THE FIRST MAIN QUESTION WHAT MOST OF YOU PROBABLY HAVE IS WHAT IS IT?
A. A system which has been around for over 17 years starting in Holland.
B. According to the Lely Manuscript, they are the new generation of milking.
B.i. It’s the nature’s way of milking cows because the robot implements what a baby calf would do
B.ii. Also is focused around the cows’ schedules as she has the freedom to milk, eat, and sleep when she wants.
III. NOW TO GET TO MY MAIN PART, HOW DOES IT WORK?
A.i. As described by a robotic owner, the milking system is basically one large computer with three components to make it work.
A.ii. The components which make it operational are the ID collars, CRS, and the robot itself.
B. First off is the collars which contain a transponder, weight, and number identification for each cow.
B.i. The transponder is read when the cow enters the robot during each milking and information is transmitted to the CRS, or computer system.
B.i.1. Some of the
