As a high-tech company with 26 years of experience in livestock equipment, the intelligent feed distribution robot developed and manufactured by Imetec is built on precision, efficiency, ease of use, and adaptability. It breaks the monopoly of imported equipment, meets the real needs of large farms, and becomes a key tool for reducing costs and increasing farm efficiency. Its advantages are concentrated in four areas: intelligent technology, adaptability to operating conditions, increased efficiency, and service guarantee. The robot is suitable for a variety of farming conditions, boasting high practicality and a good price-performance ratio.
Its key advantages include intelligence, high efficiency, and the ability to operate autonomously. The equipment has been upgraded and equipped with a high-precision laser lidar navigation system. Compared to traditional ultrasonic navigation devices, it offers improved positioning accuracy and greater environmental adaptability. Relying on 360-degree 360-degree 360-degree 360-degree perception and high-precision point cloud scanning, it can quickly and autonomously build a 3D map of the barn environment, achieve millimeter-level positioning accuracy, and more sensitively dynamically identify and quickly avoid moving herds of cows and obstacles. Its blind-spot design eliminates the risk of collisions in narrow spaces within the barn, requires no magnetic strips or QR codes, and is convenient and efficient to deploy. The robot can conduct regular inspections along a preset route, monitor feed distribution in real time using sensors, and immediately activate a double-helix feed distribution system to evenly return feed to the trough when feed overflows. Distribution efficiency exceeds 98%, and the percentage of residual feed is reduced to 2%-3%. It also features an automatic charging function: if the battery is low, it can automatically return to the charging station, eliminating manual intervention throughout the entire process, ensuring 24-hour continuous operation. One robot can serve the feeding needs of 500 dairy cows, completely replacing traditional manual picking and freeing up labor.

It offers high adaptability to operating conditions, resistance to challenging environments, and broad compatibility. Its round body with a tight turning radius allows it to maneuver flexibly through narrow barn aisles and between cow stalls without scratching equipment or disturbing the herd. The body is made of stainless steel and wear-resistant plastics that are resistant to acid-base corrosion from feed and collisions with cows, making it suitable for challenging and rough farm environments. The equipment can adapt to extreme climatic conditions from -35°C to 50°C: thanks to low-temperature batteries and a thermally insulated design, it addresses the challenges of operating in the colder regions of Russia and is also suitable for tropical farms in South America. The robot is compatible with various farm types, such as dairy, beef and yak farms, and can also be combined with self-propelled mixers and other equipment, forming an "intelligent foursome" that adapts to the feeding needs of farms of all sizes.

Significant cost reduction and increased efficiency, combined with economic benefits and breeding quality. In terms of labor, one robot can replace four workers, saving a farm approximately 42,000 yuan per year in labor costs and mitigating the industry's labor shortage. In terms of feed, high-frequency and uniform feed distribution reduces feed loss by 12%-15%, saving 80 tons of TMR feed annually and reducing breeding costs. At the same time, uniform feeding makes herd feed intake more regular: dry matter intake increases by 2%-3%, and milk production increases by 3%-5%, combining economic benefits with animal welfare. A low-noise operating mode can also reduce the stress response of cow herds.
