Our latest innovations for digital farming solutions

MILKIT Plug & Play system

A complete solution enabling quick and easy installation without interrupting milking, suitable for both new and existing parlours. MILKIT by Milkline is user-friendly and can be combined with any milking units and CIP (clean in place) systems. It combines advanced technology with low costs, reduces installation expenses, saves up to 50% of cabling time, and ensures maximum protection for all components.

Milpro P4C milk controller + P4C cluster + 4-channel pulsator

The Milpro P4C milk controller, in combination with the P4C cluster and a 4-channel pulsator, provides selective cluster removal for each individual quarter, preventing overmilking by stopping extraction only when a specific teat is fully milked while the others continue. This integrated system ensures healthier udders, improved milking efficiency, and more precise control over the entire milking process.

Scientific excellence for precision livestock farming through global collaboration

Milkline partners with universities and international research centers to combine academic expertise with practical innovation, developing sustainable, high-welfare dairy solutions. These collaborations enhance R&D, ensuring all Milkline milking systems meet the highest standards.
