BouMatic and Green Source Automation Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Rotary Milking Efficiency
BouMatic and Green Source Automation, a pioneer in Teat-spray & pre-stimulation robots, are proud to announce a strategic partnership in Europe that brings cutting-edge automation to rotary milking systems.
Through this collaboration, BouMatic and Green Source Automation combine their expertise to equip all external rotary platforms with cutting-edge automated pre- and post-dipping systems. - a breakthrough in milking hygiene and labour efficiency. This integration enhances udder health, reduces manual labour, and supports optimal milk quality.
The automated pre & post-dip system utilize precision robotics to apply udder care products to each teat with consistent coverage and timing, ensuring thorough sanitation before and after milking. During the preparation phase, the robot fully automates the pre-dip process by cleaning, sanitizing, and stimulating the teats—operating at speeds of up to 4.2 seconds per stall. Thanks to its exceptional cleaning performance and stimulation capabilities, it helps boost milk yield, accelerate milk let-down, enhance animal health, and improve worker productivity.
Designed for high-throughput rotary parlours, the system seamlessly synchronizes with rotary motion and cow indexing, delivering reliable performance with minimal operator intervention. Its modular design allows for easy installation and maintenance, while its data-driven operation supports herd health monitoring and compliance with milk quality standards.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering smarter, more efficient solutions to dairy producers worldwide,” said BouMatic CEO Steve Pretz. “By combining BouMatic’s precision-engineered rotaries with Green Source Automation’s proven technology, we’re setting a new standard for rotary milking performance.”
Green Source Automation General Manager, Casey Taboa, emphasized, “Partnering with BouMatic—the world leader in high-throughput rotary milking systems—allows us to combine our automation expertise with their industry-leading technology. Together, we are empowering producers to achieve unparalleled consistency, enhanced udder health, and significant reductions in labour demands.”
The automated pre & post-dip system will be available through the BouMatic dealer network, ensuring seamless access and support or dairy operations looking to modernize their workflows.
