• Remote monitoring and task management support convenient farm operation.
• Compact charging station reduces installation space requirements.
• Quick-release drum and self-cleaning charging contacts simplify routine maintenance.
• Electric drive produces no engine exhaust inside livestock buildings.
• Suitable for high-frequency feed-pushing schedules throughout the day and night.

• Rotating Feed Drum: Circular working section pushes and rolls loose feed toward the cattle feeding line.
• Vision Module: Camera-based sensing supports route recognition, navigation and environmental monitoring.
• Ultrasonic Sensors: Assist obstacle detection and safe movement around the barn.
• Drive Motors: Dual electric motors provide independent traction and maneuverability.
• Drive Wheels: Two powered wheels control forward movement and steering.
• Support Wheel: Third wheel stabilizes the chassis during operation.
• Lithium Battery Pack: Supplies energy for propulsion, navigation and feed-pushing functions.
• Automatic Charging Interface: Connects with the charging station without routine operator intervention.
• Emergency Stop: Provides immediate manual shutdown when required.
• Control System: Coordinates navigation, task scheduling, motor control and charging management.

• Small and medium-sized commercial dairy farms.
• Free-stall dairy cattle barns.
• Beef cattle facilities with suitable feed alleys.
• TMR feeding systems requiring frequent feed repositioning.
• Barns with restricted space for tractors or larger feed-pushing equipment.
• Livestock farms seeking automated 24-hour feeding support.
• Existing cattle barns undergoing automation upgrades.
• New steel structure cattle-barn projects with automated feeding systems.

• Battery Configuration: According to destination-country requirements.
• Charging Specification: Customizable according to local electrical standards.
• Route Configuration: Programmed according to barn and feed-lane layout.
• Feed-Pushing Schedule: Adjustable according to feeding management requirements.
• Remote Management: Available according to communication and project requirements.
• Navigation Layout: Configured according to building layout and operating routes.
• Project Integration: Can be coordinated with feed fences, TMR feeding equipment and cattle-barn layouts.
• Environmental Adaptation: Designed according to local climate and farm conditions.

• Survey the feed alley and define operating routes before commissioning.
• Install the charging station on a stable, suitable surface with the required electrical supply and grounding.
• Keep the charging station protected from unsuitable environmental exposure.
• Configure routes and scheduled feed-pushing tasks during system commissioning.
• Keep the vision module and sensors clean for reliable navigation.
• Inspect the rotating drum regularly and remove wrapped twine or foreign material.
• Check wheels, fasteners, charging contacts and safety devices periodically.
• Use appropriate cleaning methods and avoid direct high-pressure washing of sensitive electrical components.
• Keep battery and charging components dry and inspect electrical connections regularly.
• Service or replace electrical and safety components through qualified personnel when required.

Q: What type of feed can the robot push?
A: It is suitable for common cattle rations such as TMR, silage, chopped forage and other loose feed distributed along a feed fence.

Q: Does the robot operate automatically?
A: Yes. Feed-pushing routes and operating times can be programmed so the robot completes scheduled tasks automatically.

Q: How does the robot navigate?
A: The reference configuration uses visual navigation supported by ultrasonic sensors and magnetic guidance in selected route sections.

Q: Does it return to the charging station automatically?
A: Yes. After completing a task or when charging is required, the control system can guide the robot back to its charging station.

Q: Is the robot suitable for narrow barns?
A: Its compact 1080 mm diameter helps reduce space requirements, but final suitability depends on feed-lane width, turning areas and other barn dimensions.

Q: Can the robot be monitored remotely?
A: Yes. Remote operating and monitoring functions are available with the appropriate communication configuration.

Q: Can it work in cold or hot climates?
A: The referenced working temperature range is -20°C to 50°C. Project conditions should still be reviewed before installation.

Q: Can the system be configured for an overseas cattle-farm project?
A: Yes. Charging specification, operating routes, feed-pushing schedules and project integration can be configured according to local farm requirements.
