LOCAL SERVICE SUPPORT
24/7 support from people you trust
Technology is only part of what makes automatic milking work. What matters most is knowing someone understands your farm and is there when you need them. Your local Lely Center provides service, advice and expertise from specialists who know your region and your farm. From planning and installation to daily use, you’re never on your own.
INSIGHTS HORIZON
Clear insights for confident decisions
Running a dairy farm means making decisions every day. Horizon, together with the Astronaut, turns your farm data into clear, actionable insights you can actually use. No complicated dashboards. No specialist training. Just the information you need, when you need it. So you can spot changes early and make decisions with confidence.
HERD PERFORMANCE
Precision in every milking, caring for every cow
When cows follow their natural rhythm, stress decreases and routines become calmer. The Lely Astronaut is designed from the cow’s perspective, supporting free cow traffic and natural behaviour. During each milking, the system monitors changes in behaviour, production and milk quality. So you can recognise small changes early and act before they become bigger problems.
DAILY ROUTINE
In control over your day
Many farmers say the real moment of truth isn’t installation day. It’s the first weekend away. With the Lely Astronaut, you don’t just save time, you gain the confidence to use it. Milking no longer defines your day, so you can focus on what matters most, while staying in control of your farm.
