How did the Vector and Juno came along?

I am worki ng with Lely's patents since 1999. Lely's products are all protected by several patents which cover different aspects of the machine. For example the 99patent of the Discovey covers the fact that a manure scraper only has 2 wheels and a scraper. If competitors wanted to construct a similar device they needed at least 3 wheels and a steering wheel. This made their product more expensive. Another nice example of the effect of patent protectiom is the patent of the feed height sensor of the Vector (2012). This sensor makes it possible that the Vector is only feeding when necessary. Competitor's feeding robots need to feed a fixed amount at fixed times and can not automatically taken into account changes of number of animals or changes in feed/grazing. The Vector can do this automatically.
