Parlour Milking
Implementation
Install and commission milking points, vacuum, pipelines, meters and controls before the first live milking session.
UpstreamMilkSystem Implementation
Service overview
From approved scope
to working system.
Install and commission the approved parlour milking system, including milking points, clusters, vacuum, pulsation, milk pipelines, meters and automation. Mechanical, milk-contact, electrical and control interfaces are coordinated and tested before live milking so the system is ready for hygienic, repeatable operation.
The execution plan sequences milking points and clusters, vacuum and pulsation and milk pipelines and meters against site readiness and contractor access. Interfaces around automation and control links are inspected and tested before hygienic tests before live milking. The practical endpoint is a connected system with documented checks, trained operators and a clear acceptance position, not a set of separately delivered components.
