Every failed milking cost your robot up to 8 minutes of valuable time. Most failed milkings are caused by poor connection attempts, so catching and fixing them early matters.
Check failed milkings twice a day
Aim for under 5 failures per robot per day
Keep connection attempts under 1.3
Top-performing farms average just 1.6 failures/day with 1.15 connection attempts
Quick Wins:
Clean lasers & cameras
Singe hairy udders/tails
Supervise cows with frequent failures
Stay up to date with service & calibration
Use proper Lely liners & installation materials
Use Report 13 – Failed Milkings to find patterns.-> (+) Reports: Failed milking - Horizon documentation - Lely Horizon - Lely Community
If one cow or robot pops up a lot, it’s time to act.
Fewer failures = healthier cows, happier farmers, more efficient robots. Let’s get there!
