FIX-Robo Live Demonstration, MCH Exhibition Centre Herning, Denmark
At the annual farmer’s day for the mink farming industry, held on 2014-08-30 at the MCH Exhibition Centre Herning, Minkpapir and Conpleks jointly demonstrated the World’s first fully automated mink feeding robot.
The mink feeding robot, called FIX-Robo, was demonstrated by showing live automatic feedings in a small mink house that was installed right outside the exhibition hall, where the farmer’s day took place. The demo clearly showed that the robot can dispense the mink feed automatically on top of the mink cages, just as accurately as done manually, and with the same speed. The demonstration was carried out successfully many times during the day, and it was also demonstrated that the FIX-Robo is able to stop automatically if it encounters any obstacles along the way.
Conpleks has been responsible for the design and product development of the FIX-Robo robot solution for Minkpapir A/S. FIX-Robo will be completed in the late summer and it will be tested on several mink farms in the autumn.
