DOM Distribution Unveils Innovative AGV to Revolutionize Cattle Feeding
DOM Distribution, a leading machinery distributor in Dalby, Queensland, Australia, is proud to unveil their latest project – an Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV) designed to transform cattle feeding operations.
Driven by a passion for innovation and a desire to address the labor shortage in the Australian feedlot industry, DOM Distribution has developed this first-of-its-kind prototype.
Focus on Efficiency and Productivity
This GPS-guided, self-driving vehicle automates the process of delivering rations from the kitchen to the bunk. This innovation aims to address the critical challenge of labor scarcity while boosting productivity in cattle feeding.
Built for Australian Conditions
The AGV is specifically designed with Australian cattle operations in mind. It seamlessly integrates with existing TMR mixers, including Patz models, and utilizes a powerful CAT engine coupled with hydraulic motors for precise low-speed deliveries – ideal for navigating feedlot environments.
Safety First
Safety remains a top priority for DOM Distribution. The AGV is indergoing rigorous safety audits to comply with international standards, ensuring collision avoidance and proper shutdown protocols.
Seeking Valuable Feedback
DOM Distribution is actively seeking feedback from industry professionals to further refine the AGV. This collaborative approach ensures the final product best addresses the needs of cattle feeders.
A Feature-Rich Solution
The AGV boasts several innovative features:
Multiple Stops: The AGV can be programmed for multi-stop deliveries, optimizing feed delivery across multiple bunks in a single trip.
Fleet Communication: Multiple AGVs can operate from a central location, communicating with each other to ensure a smooth and efficient operation.
Mobile App for Monitoring: A dedicated app provides a comprehensive view of the entire feeding operation. Users can monitor AGV location, status, and key silo information in real-time. Additionally, the app sends alerts and notifications for any alarms or warnings.
The Future of Cattle Feeding
DOM Distribution's AGV represents a significant leap forward in cattle feeding technology. This Australian-made innovation promises to enhance efficiency, address labor challenges, and empower cattle feeders with a smarter and more productive feeding solution.
