Both Astronaut A5 Next and Astronaut Max build on the success of the Astronaut A5 milking robot. Next to that, Lely Hub was introduced: an essential data safety device for farmers. These solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern dairy farming, with a strong focus on improving animal welfare and farmer prosperity. Lely is proud to take the next step towards the realisation of the Farm of the Future.

Maassluis, 18 March 2025 – Lely has launched the Vector MFR Next, the new mixing and feeding robot that takes robotic precision feeding to a higher level. The Vector MFR Next has a strong drive line and a frame with a loading capacity of up to 800kg. This provides a 35% increase in feed loading capacity compared to the previous generation, increasing the suitability for more farms. Front and rear lights provide extra visibility. The Vector provides dairy farmers with a versatile mixing and feeding solution to optimise their feeding strategy and save substantially on labour. With this new robot, the Vector MFR Next takes Lely another step further towards the Farm of the Future. 

Today, Lely presents its annual results for 2024: with a total sales of €857 million (2023: €888 million), in line with the more difficult dairy market.  

At Lely, we believe in more than just providing innovative dairy equipment. We're committed to building strong, lasting partnerships with our customers, offering comprehensive support and expertise every step of the way. That's where our network of Lely Centers comes in.
