The year 1992 marked a true revolution for dairy farming, with the creation of the first working prototype of a fully automated milking system.
Lely’s innovation represented a whole new way of milking and working, and it’s no surprise that dairy farmers consider it the most important invention of the 20th century for dairy farming.
In May 2024, 31 years later, the 50,000th Lely Astronaut automatic milking system was installed in Ireland.
