Abstract
Milking diary animals involves manually attaching a milking cluster to the dairy animals teats. While the dairy animal's teats are in the liners of the teat cups, pre-dip, milking, and post-dip processes are performed. The milking cluster then detaches from the dairy animal's teats. The system can be implemented in a parallel line, rotary, or herringbone parlor configuration.
