brush motor laser etc ect the software comes from lely

Stuart. With greatest respect you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Fullwood have their own software and electronics company in the Netherlands, Fusion Electronics BV that write all Fullwoods software for robots and herd management. There are several component suppliers to all makes of robots, pneumatics, electrical components cameras, lasers, position sensors
However each individual manufacturer have discreet OEM agreements with those suppliers.

Has the price of Robots dropped amongst the brands at all in regards of the price of the euro?

I know a guy who priced a Delaval Robot in December and was quoted £95k all in. I thought it would have come down.

Was the same when I was looking feb/March 2015, Lely was also very similar.

The shuttle, only red thing we have here with their name on it.

In the Netherlands and france the milk buyer provides the shuttles on sampling day and theyre mostly Lely shuttles

All three robots going now, doing 350 milkings a day between them although the newest one is only doing 50 so far bit of spare capacity yet. Cows have settled down unbelievably well, pushing 2-3 cows in a day max if nothing's upset them. A vet routine or a robot service unsettles them but soon catches up.

Looking forward to some more training on the program so can learn to start getting the best out of the robots now I have good base knowledge to build on.

Still playing around with layout immediately around the robots and going to start using the side gate exit gate instead of front gate and see how that effects performance.

Had a few issues which Fullwood/MMT have sorted out and more than happy with how things are going.

@Scholsey how's it all going?

Yeah going ok, bit of a learning curve dropping from 34ppl when we started planning it down to 13.5ppl for May this year has certainly focused the mind.
