Intelligent Soaker 2.0

At VES-Artex, we are creating innovative ways to help implement sustainability into our products, our newest is the Intelligent Soaker 2.0. A sensible option for those who not only want to practice environmental consciousness but also save money on operating costs and keep their herd cool. This innovative system can help reduce water usage by up to 70%. Taylor Leach from Dairy Herd Management says, “With water consumption becoming a key focus for many diary producers, the high-tech soaking system could be a compelling solution to conserve water and increase sustainability all while maximizing cow cooling”.  

The Intelligent Soaker 2.0 is a great way to save on costs and labor. It has an easy installation process and is compatible with most existing systems. The nozzles are made with stainless steel for longevity and durability. Each nozzle works independently and will only dispense water if a cow is present. 3 separate verifications are done to ensure false triggers are avoided. To help with maintenance and monitoring, each nozzle has a cow-friendly LED light which indicates when the soaker is in use or in dwell mode.  

This technology optimizes water usage, while keeping cows cool and comfortable. The Intelligent Soaker 2.0 has been shown to be effective in promoting milk production, conception rates, herd health, overall animal productivity and wellbeing. Dr. Mario Mondaca, Senior Technical Applications and Research Engineer at VES-Artex, says, “Soaking is one the most powerful tools against heat abatement and new developments both in industry and academia are making it more sustainable”. This product has all the conveniences from cutting back on costs, prioritizing cow comfort, easy to maintain, and being more sustainable. 

The Intelligent Soaker 2.0 was updated with thoughtful improvements, making it smarter and more efficient.
