Lely, a Dutch manufacturer, is introducing an upgraded version of its Juno feed pusher called the Juno Max. This new model is designed to work faster, navigate rougher terrain, and autonomously plan its route between multiple sheds. Unlike the Juno J2, which relies on guide strips for navigation, the Juno Max uses a Lidar laser scanner and stereo camera to detect obstacles and monitor feed levels. This information can also be used with Lely’s other automated systems for a zero-labor feeding system. The Juno Max has a top speed of 72m/min, significantly faster than the J2, and can navigate slopes of up to 20%. With a longer runtime between charges and a better work/charge ratio, it is suitable for managing a herd of 3,000 cows. The Juno Max is set to be commercially available in 2027, offering improved battery power, runtime, speed, and slope capabilities compared to the Juno J2.
