Problems solved by technology
In automatic reprocessing this can lead to delays in releasing animals from milking stalls
In automatic preconditioning, this can lead to a delay in starting milking
In both cases, in the scene of the milking platform, this can cause delays for all animals and operations on the platform
In both cases, in the stationary milking stall scenario, this causes delays in admitting subsequent animals, who may need to wait in line

Embodiment Construction
[0059] in image 3 Here, the rotating platform 18 is schematically shown, but the present invention is not limited to the platform embodiment, but may include a conventional fixed milking stall embodiment (not shown). The platform is shown in this example for illustrative purposes only. The teat processing device 1 is schematically shown by an example in the form of an articulated robot with a fixed stationary base 9 and a movable arm 10. The basic robot structure may be of a known type and may include its own mobile control system module 8. The control system 5 is associated with the robot, and the control system 5 is used for teat processing equipment, and is connected to the robot through a cable 6 or wirelessly connected to the robot. The control system 5 can be directly or indirectly associated with other control elements such as milking facility control elements (not shown) or sensors such as platform movement sensors, which are image 3 It is shown in the form of an enc...

Automatic teat treatment method and apparatus for carrying out a pre- or post-treatment operation on the teats of an animal, said method using a pre- or post-treatment robot apparatus (1) with a control system (5), said robot apparatus being capable of carrying a treating device (12) on an arm thereof, said method comprising the steps of: establishing a start time to for said pre- or post- treatment operation, establishing the presence of an animal at a treatment location, and: (i) initiating automatic detection of the spatial teat position of a first one of said teats and (ii) registering the spatial position of said detected teat, and (iii) deriving a dedicated teat-treating action for treating said teat, and (iv) initiating and carrying out the teat-treating action, and (v) repeating said initiating, registering, deriving, and treating steps i-iv once in respect of each successive teat of said animal until all its teats are treated and thereafter retracting the robot arm away from the animal to a retracted position; wherein if, after the start time to, a predefined point in time td is passed before any of the preceding steps is completed, the method according to steps i-v is interrupted and a default treating action for treating all remaining untreated teats is derived and carried out by the treatment apparatus and thereafter said robot arm is retracted.
Description
Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an assembly including a device for processing teats of a milk-producing animal, and more particularly relates to an assembly capable of processing all teats of an animal within a limited time window. This assembly can advantageously be put into practice in a dairy industry facility that includes milking equipment and specifically automatic milking equipment. The present invention can be implemented specifically before or after the milking operation, and the present invention can be implemented specifically on a rotating milking platform or a stationary milking stall. Background technique [0002] For a long time, in practice, a so-called "teat dip" has been used to treat the teats of milking animals after milking. One purpose of bathing the teat is to prevent infection by applying some disinfectant fluid such as iodine solution or other disinfecting solution. In order to prevent the intrusion of other contaminants that cau...
