Milking System With Detection System

Patent No. EP3855893 (titled "Milking System With Detection System") was filed by Lely Patent on Sep 19, 2019. The application was issued on Apr 24, 2024.

Patent Summary

Milking system for analyzing milk quality that allows lower reagent usage and higher throughput compared to existing systems. The system uses a camera to image reagent pads on a moving tape after dosing milk samples onto them. By having the camera field of view cover multiple pads, it allows longer reaction times before imaging. This reduces reagent concentration needs compared to short reaction times. The system shifts the tape past the pads while imaging to analyze multiple samples in parallel.
