As our research shows, design and installation faults occur in practice that not only completely wipe out the advantages of the new developments but also adversely affect udder health and the welfare and performance of both cow and milker. Anyone wishing to install a milking parlour and his or her architect should contact the milking machine manufacturer as early as the planning phase. This will allow many assembly and installation errors to be avoided and will save on assembly and annual maintenance costs. The desired values of less than 0.3 m per s for vibration and less than 70 dB(A) for noise are achievable and the farmer should ensure that they are stipulated in the purchase contract. The manufacturers of AMS should also take steps to ensure that their equipment achieves these values.
