SRone

GEA's battery-powered manure scraper robot for slatted floors — a flat, quiet 400 kg unit that pushes slurry through the slats with up to 100 kg of pushing force, turns fully within 2 m and slips under gates. The lateral-guidance SRone cleans up to 8,000 m² of slatted floor per day; the programmable SRone+ extends that to 12,000 m² with custom route plans. Runs up to 19.5 h per day on a 4.5 h quick charge.

At a glance

Best for

Dairy barns with slatted floors — from simple straight walkways (SRone) to larger barns with complex, personalised routes (SRone+) — wanting continuous slat cleaning without floor cables.

Avoid if

Your floors are solid rather than slatted — collecting robots (Lely Discovery Collector, JOZ Barn-E) are the right class; the SRone pushes manure through slats.

Not suitable for

Solid-floor or deep-litter barns; any task beyond slurry scraping.

Barn-E PRO

JOZ · Netherlands

Manure robot for solid barn floors from Dutch manure-handling specialist JOZ — a low 68 cm collector that carries the manure it gathers (350 or 500 litres depending on push width) instead of pushing a growing heap, navigating unlimited programmable routes via floor transponders. Connected to the JOZ Management System for 24/7 remote monitoring with SMS obstacle alerts; JOZ pitches the PRO generation as its most powerful robot for intensive conditions, coping with straw bedding up to 6 cm.

Discovery Collector

Lely · Netherlands

Lely's free-navigating manure robot for solid and semi-closed barn floors — instead of scraping manure ahead of itself it vacuums the slurry into an onboard tank, spraying water at the front for better intake and at the back to leave grip on the floor. Dumping, wireless charging and water refilling happen at one central station; the C2 generation handles barns of up to roughly 120 cows and routes are managed from a mobile app.

OutputContinuous route-based cleaning; ~60% driving / 40% charging duty cycle (C2)
