Case Study: Innovative Automatic Hay Feeder for Heinätin
Client Overview
Heinätin, an innovative automatic hay feeder for horses, addresses the physiological need for horses to consume small amounts of hay multiple times a day, thereby preventing various health issues. The product line includes smaller units designed for individual horses and larger units suitable for multiple horses. The smaller units are controlled by the iSmart intelligent relay, while the larger units utilize the XGB programmable logic controller (PLC). Most controllers are equipped with the iView human-machine interface (HMI), allowing users to set individual feeding times and hay quantities. In smaller devices, the hay is dispensed in several doses, whereas in larger devices, users can specify the duration during which the hay is accessible.
Customer testimonial
"High quality, durability, and operational reliability are the cornerstones of our devices. Horses have a physiological need to eat small amounts of hay several times a day to prevent various stomach and intestinal problems or metabolic diseases caused by being overweight. We have developed Heinätin hay automats to help with this problem."
