DeLaval

DeLaval develops integrated dairy solutions designed to improve milk production efficiency, animal welfare, and farm management. The company offers a range of automated milking systems, cooling solutions, and herd management tools, including its VMS series milking robots and DelPro farm management software. These technologies incorporate artificial intelligence, sensor-based monitoring, and predictive analytics to help farmers optimize herd health, milk quality, and operational efficiency. DeLaval Plus, for example, leverages AI-driven behavior analysis to monitor cow health, reproduction cycles, and productivity, while DeLaval RePro automatically analyzes progesterone levels in milk samples to assist with breeding decisions. By integrating automation and data-driven insights, DeLaval enables more sustainable, precise, and labor-efficient dairy operations.

While DeLaval primarily sells its equipment outright, it also offers elements of a hybrid “as-a-service” model through its InService All-Inclusive program. This service provides preventive maintenance, scheduled servicing, and consumables replenishment for an agreed-upon cost, ensuring that farms maintain optimal performance without unexpected expenses. DeLaval Plus extends this model by offering data-driven insights through a subscription-based platform, allowing farmers to leverage AI-powered analytics to improve herd management. The company collaborates with financial partners like BMO and DFA Financing to provide flexible payment plans; these options give dairy farmers greater financial predictability and operational stability, aligning costs with production needs.
