The GEA DairyRobot R9500 is a dairy robot by GEA Group, priced at $150K-$230K. It is commercially available and deployed on farms worldwide. Compatible crops include dairy.
GEA DairyRobot R9500
The GEA DairyRobot R9500 is a voluntary milking system (VMS) that allows dairy cows to choose when to be milked, typically increasing milking frequency and milk yield compared to conventional twice-a-day parlours. A 3D camera system guides a robotic arm to attach individual teat cups with precision, and per-quarter milking control optimises each teat independently for the animal's health and comfort. Real-time milk quality sensors detect issues such as mastitis before they become costly herd problems. The R9500 is designed for herds of 50–70 cows per unit, and multiple robots can be deployed in larger operations. GEA's farm management software integrates directly with the robot, providing farmers with animal-level health and production data. Installation and commissioning are handled through GEA's global service network.
