Robotic milking systems (also referred to as automatic milking systems or voluntary milking systems) were introduced to the U.S. in 2000 and current labor costs and shortages are spurring increased adoption. A robotic milking system (RMS) is a voluntary milking system that gives individual cows the freedom to enter the milking unit at their discretion. The fact sheet series covers management changes and considerations, designing and starting up a new RMS facility, and the pros and cons of different cow flow strategies.
