The major processes of the Vector are:
• Feed loading and mixing process.
• Feeding, measuring and feed pushing process.
The Mixing and Feeding Robot has one route (or more routes) in every barn with animals that need to be
fed. On this route the feed fence and the location of every group of animals is specified. In T4C rations
that specifies the ratio of every feed type that needs to be supplied are linked to locations. To supply the
feed at the correct frequency and to determine the priority between groups of animals several settings
must be specified in T4C.
Depending on the setting of the scan time, for example every hour, the Mixing and Feeding Robot drives
the route in the barn along the feed fence and measures the feed height on every location in the barn. If
the animals on one location need to be fed according to the settings and calculations, the feed loading
and mixing process starts. If the animals on two or more locations must be fed, the Feed Controller
