Lely Nordic A/S, Lely Juno Max
Product description:
Lely Juno Max is a self-guided feed pusher designed for large farms, aimed at quickly, smartly, and efficiently pushing feed in multiple barns and feeding alleys. This means it can automatically navigate several different areas both indoors and outdoors. It features a completely redesigned navigation system, including a collision sensor that ensures Juno Max can always perform its task safely and effectively.
Expert description:
Automatic feed pusher with high capacity for use in large cattle herds of up to 800–1000 cows. The pusher can operate in multiple barns and can travel outdoors between barns, handling inclines of up to 20%. The pusher is equipped with a new navigation system that utilizes laser scanning, odometry, and virtual maps of the farm to plan the optimal route between barns. The laser scanner is used both to assess the feed amounts on the feed table and to navigate around any obstacles on the feed table. The system calculates whether additional feed needs to be pushed in or if there is a shortage of feed on the feed table. The laser and collision sensor ensure high safety, even though the pusher operates at significantly higher speeds than other types of feeders.
With its three large wheels, Juno Max can navigate uneven farmyards and slopes of up to 20%.
The laser scanner and the built-in multifunctional stereo camera not only measure feed amounts at the feed table; they also detect obstacles. In combination with the virtual map, the camera and scanner enable the pusher to independently find a new route and complete its task.
Everything is controlled via a digital management system and an app, which gives the farmer insight into all the robot's functions. With these tools, routes and schedules can be set, and developments in feed height can be monitored. The farmer can easily and quickly determine the robot's location, assign it a new task, or temporarily pause the feeding schedule through the app. This way, the farmer always has insight and easy control, and Juno Max can be tailored to the specific needs and layout of the individual farm.
