Juno

Lely · Netherlands

Lely's battery-electric automatic feed pusher — follows pre-installed floor strips with ultrasound distance sensing to push feed to the fence up to 48 times a day, returning to its charging station between runs. Current line is Juno / Juno Flex; the lidar-navigating Juno Max for 800+ cow farms was unveiled September 2024 with commercial launch expected 2027. Swiss sales and service via Lely Center Härkingen.

At a glance

Best for

Any dairy or beef barn with a feed alley — frequent pushing raises intake day and night for a modest, low-maintenance robot.

Avoid if

You need feed mixed and dispensed, not just pushed — that is the Lely Vector's job; or you run a multi-barn 800+ cow operation better served by the free-navigating Juno Max once it ships.

Not suitable for

Field work; barns whose alley layout cannot take the guidance floor strips.
