Smart calving monitoring for dairy farms
Monitoring cows during calving requires time, attention and experience. Yet it can be difficult to be present at the right moment while managing the many other tasks of a busy dairy farm.
Lely Zeta AI calving continuously monitors cows in the calving pen and helps you stay informed throughout the calving process. By combining cameras, AI and intelligent algorithms, the system detects contractions, follows the progress of labour and alerts you when action may be required. This gives you greater peace of mind, day and night, while helping you focus your attention where it matters most.
USP's AI calving
A watchful eye above the calving pen
With its own fixture directly above the calving pen, Lely Zeta monitors the calving process. While calving often proceeds smoothly, there are times when intervention is necessary. Through our app, you receive real-time updates, allowing you to intervene promptly when needed.
Detection of contractions
Making the most of advanced AI, Lely Zeta is trained to recognise the stages of calving and detect contractions.
Peace of mind
Whether you’re attending to daily tasks or resting at night, Lely Zeta keeps a constant watch over the calving process, alerting you promptly when necessary.
This is how it works
AI calving explained
A successful calving process is crucial for both the mother cow's new lactation cycle and the newborn calf's start in life. While calving often proceeds smoothly, there are times when intervention is necessary. Lely Zeta continuously monitors the calving process. You can hang an individual fixture above the calving pen.

Utilising advanced AI, Lely Zeta is trained to recognise the stages of calving and detect contractions accurately. You can easily monitor all cows on your phone, and identify those experiencing contractions, indicated by a contraction score.

When calving begins, you'll receive a notification. If complications arise and the process takes too long, an alarm will alert you. Whether you’re resting or working in the barn, Lely Zeta keeps watch, ensuring you're informed promptly.

Lely Zeta acts as an extra pair of eyes and more. We’re ready to further shape the barn of the future and integrate AI to monitor all the stages in the calving process, detect critical events, and collect data to help improve the health of your cows and calves.
