Transforming Dairy Farming with IDS Pre-Brush and Post-Spray Systems

Harnessing Robotics and AI to Enhance Efficiency and Sustainability in Dairy Farming

Among the significant challenges dairy farmers face today, finding skilled labor to work with cows is both time-consuming and difficult. Peacock Technology addresses this issue by leveraging robotics and artificial intelligence to develop Intelligent Dairy Solutions that automate essential tasks. This not only frees up labour hours for other critical activities but also enhances overall farm efficiency and profitability.

IDS Pre-Brush System

The IDS Pre-Brush is a cutting-edge vision-guided robotic system designed to significantly enhance efficiency and udder hygiene in rotary milking parlours. By utilising advanced vision technology, the IDS Pre-Brush stimulates, cleans, and prepares cow teats before unit attachment. This ensures optimal hygiene and readiness for milking, reducing the risk of infection and improving milk quality.

The IDS Pre-Brush integrates seamlessly into the farm workflow, operating smoothly alongside existing processes without causing disruptions. Its intuitive design allows for easy installation and minimal maintenance, making it an ideal addition to any modern dairy operation. By automating the teat preparation process, the system not only improves overall milking efficiency but also allows farm staff to focus on other critical tasks, thereby enhancing overall productivity.

IDS Post-Spray System

The IDS Post-Spray System is a state-of-the-art, vision-guided robotic solution engineered to apply disinfectant to cow teats post-milking. This innovative system reduces the reliance on manual labour, delivering consistent and precise teat spray application to enhance udder care and hygiene.

Featuring a 3D camera, the IDS Post-Spray System accurately detects the position of cow teats and automatically adjusts the spray pattern for optimal coverage. Our dedicated team of engineers customises each installation to cater to the unique requirements of both farmers and their herds, ensuring the best possible performance and results.

What Our Customers Are Saying

  • “Using the IDS Teat - Post Spray System we are already seeing improvements in reliable application and our cows have transitioned to the new system without issue. The support provided by Peacock has been great and we look forward to seeing more products coming from Peacock Technology to support dairy production.”

    — Neil Baker, Rushywood Farm, UK

  • "We are really pleased with the reliable and consistent results we have seen since installing the IDS Teat - Post Spray System. Our staff have been able to shift their focus to other areas of herd management, relieving the pressure for the whole team. Peacock Technology have been great to work with and have provided excellent service throughout the installation. It is reassuring to know that 24hour support is there when we need it. We definitely made the right decision for our farm going forward."

    — Mark Thomasson, Thomasson Farms, UK

  • “The Pre-Brush robot has been invaluable for us. Previously, we spent £83,000 per year on labour for this task. Now, by investing £2,950 per month (£35,400 per year), we have saved over £47,000 annually in labour costs. Milking three times a day, labour shortages have become a huge issue for any dairy farm. The robot is reliable and consistently provides thorough teat cleaning before milking, but the benefits go beyond labour cost savings. We've also seen improvement in stimulation leading to quicker milk let-down and a more stable milking.”
