More than ten years after the introduction of the first automatic milk machine in the modern farming, is it now the turn to Schuitemaker. The Innovado is the first fully automatic feeding robot who picks up the food and brings it to the animals. An innovation in the branche!

Innovado: a self-driving mixing truck |
Technical innovation: one complete feeding process |
| There are allready several variants of automatic feed systems. Schuitemaker took the time to produce a fully automatic solution. The manufacturers of Schuitemaker succeeded! Where current semi-automatic systems stops, goes the Innovado further. | The Innovado is a self-driving mixing truck. It drives to the food, picks up the food, mix it, drive to the animals, feed them and went back to the garage. All without a driver! The route is determined by sensors, a gyroscope and a laser. | The secret of the Innovado is the fully automatic feeding process of collecting feed, mixing, discharging and optionally refilling and driving back to the shed. The Innovado sees this as one complete feeding process. |

The Innovado is still in a development stage, as a consequence nothing is known about th model range.

Technical innovation: one complete feeding process
The secret of the Innovado is the fully automatic feeding process. A boom is mounted on the machine. The boom includes a silage cutter, which can move left and right side through a shift. The food is unloaded above the mixing bowl. During the mixing process moves the Innovado with up to 6 km / h to the barn, using a diesel engine and a four-wheel hydrostatic drive.
Advantages: better feed and peace and quiet
Times of automation and economies of scale in the modern dairy farming, gives the automation of the roughage supply an increasingly important place. It also has social benefits for the farmer (more time for family, leisure and entertainment). Several studies demonstrated that dairy cows perform better when fresh forage is offered regualary. Frequent and regular supply of fresh forage has several advantages such as more calm in the barn and better health of the cow.
Implementation
The system is ideally suited to grow with the farmer. The barn has not greatly to be adjusted. The Innovado can feed in several barns and is not limited to dairy cows. It can also feed young cows, for example.
Future
Several interested farmers went to Schuitemaker. As we speak the Innovado is extensively tested.
