VMS V310 vs Triomatic
Two robotic barn machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
DeLaval's voluntary milking robot (launched January 2020) — the first milking system to automatically confirm pregnancy, via in-line progesterone sampling (RePro) during milking.
Best for: Dairy herds that want reproduction management (heat + pregnancy detection) built into the milking robot.Modular automatic feeding system from Dutch feed-mixer specialist Trioliet — a feed kitchen (T10–T40 variants, from stationary mixers to feed floors for silage blocks and bales) supplies a robot that mixes and distributes rations around the clock. Robots come suspended, battery-powered or wheel-driven; the wheel-driven WP 2 300 carries a 3 m³ chamber with two vertical stainless-steel augers and a dual-side discharge belt, powered continuously from an overhead rail so it never runs out of battery. Dual-Flow mixing handles batches from roughly 60 kg.
Best for: Dairy and beef farms wanting a full automatic-feeding chain (storage, mixing, distribution) from one supplier, with feed-kitchen options matching how you store forage — bunkers, blocks, or bales.| VMS V310 Verified 2026-07-16 | Triomatic Verified 2026-07-17 | |
