Smarter!
The Robotic Milking System is already smart with its ability to recognise each cow, allowing it to enter depending on its data or detouring it back to pasture. The new feature of Milk Cell Analysis (MCA) is an ultra-precise, real-time somatic cell count sensor that integrates with DeLaval Plus putting accurate, actionable information at your fingertips to aid you in milk quality control and udder health and disease risk management.
The data collected by MCA is analysed in the DeLaval Plus management system in real-time. Additionally, the DeLaval Plus monitors and analyses trends in somatic cell counts. It can predict possible future incidences so you can act in advance with treatment decision and dry-off management.
Milk Cell Analysis
The data collected by MCA is analysed in the DeLaval Plus Health Performance* application and displayed in real-time. Additionally, the DeLaval Plus Disease Risk* application monitors and analyses trends in somatic cell counts. It can predict possible future incidences so you can act in advance with treatment decision and dry-off management.
Mastitis Detection
MCA is our most sophisticated automated cell count sensor yet. With robust, advanced technology, it accurately and instantaneously measures somatic cell count and identifies subclinical mastitis early so you can intervene quickly. Reduce treatment costs and prevent infections that can cause milk loss, lower yield and compromised milk quality
Faster & Gentler
The new 2025 Robotic Milking Systems come with DeLaval Flow-Responsiveâ„¢ Milking in. Milk more cows faster than ever! A constant vacuum at the teat end extracts milk faster when the milk flow is higher. Down to individual teat level for every cow. Resulting in more comfortable and relaxed cows.Â

Faster Milking
Flow-Responsiveâ„¢ Milking results in shorter milking times, which in turn allows for more cows to be milked per VMSâ„¢ station per day. Conversely, less time spent milking results in more idle time per station, allowing for an increase in time available for service and maintenance.
