Key features

No other robot milks like M²erlin. Each M²erlin is constructed with robust innovative features that could transform your milking operation;

  • The M²erlin robotic arm runs on electricity, not compressed air, making operation whisper-quiet and more relaxed for cows during milking

  • The comfortable airy crate fits cows of all sizes, reducing any agitation as they are being milked

  • Fullwood JOZ’s FullCount can reliably determine your somatic cell count figure, working alongside FullQuest and CrystaLab for full health cow monitoring

  • The HMI touch screen (Human Machine Interface) lets you access important data and displays a clear overview of the current status of the machine at every stage of milking

  • The unique feeding trough opens during milking and closes upon completion before the door opens to release the cow, increasing walk-out speed and resulting in more milkings per box per day.
