Following extensive improvements, GEA has introduced the latest generation of its DairyRobot R9500 and DairyProQ automated milking systems. These upgraded solutions feature major advancements in the milking technology unit, the In-Liner Everything milking method, and the MilkRack cluster system, along with several additional enhancements. A redesigned service approach further improves maintainability, reduces upkeep expenses, and minimizes operational interruptions. Completing the package is an advanced software suite designed to streamline and refine the milking workflow. Overall, dairy producers benefit from greater system uptime, increased daily milking frequency and yield, and operating cost reductions of up to 35% compared with previous models — ultimately improving farm profitability.

How can we provide safe, dependable, and nutrient-rich food to a rapidly expanding global population while keeping environmental impact to a minimum? This question stands among the most pressing sustainability issues of our time. Within sustainable food production systems, dairy cattle play a remarkably important role. For centuries, cows have converted grass into highly valuable nutrients — rich in fat and protein — for human diets. Today, this contribution is more essential than ever. Supporting dairy farmers in becoming more productive, efficient, and environmentally responsible is critical to meeting future food demands.

Achieving this balance is far from simple. Global demand for milk continues to grow, yet profit margins remain narrow. As herd sizes increase, farm management becomes more intricate and demanding. At the same time, producers face heightened expectations regarding environmental protection and animal welfare, including concerns about water resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and responsible antibiotic use. Modern dairy farming presents challenges on an entirely new scale, requiring advanced expertise, smarter systems, and higher operational efficiency than ever before.
