Reinventing livestock farming, reinventing the farmer
A revolution in animal feed
A new standard in livestock farming
AURA features a unique, integrated silo-unloading module, enabling the system to operate completely independently, from silo to feeding trough.
This innovation lifts the traditional barriers to automation and makes farmers’ day-to-day lives easier.
- Fully self-contained solution
- Performance-related benefits
- Substantial time savings
Unique navigation technology
AURA moves freely and easily around your farm with:
- RTK GPS (subscription-free), LIDAR and odometry technologies

How can you integrate AURA on your farm?
1. Analysis of your project
Together with a KUHN expert, we will analyse your livestock operation, your objectives and how your business is organised.
A comprehensive assessment (feed rations, herd, grazing land, distances) enables us to confirm project feasibility and provide you with an AURA technical file to help you make the right decision.
2. Preparatory work
AURA requires very little adaptation.
Any necessary adjustments (for comfort, optimisation or safety) are identified and applied to ensure optimal integration.
3. Route pre-setting
With KUHN, you can define the key areas of your livestock farm (silos, buildings, technical areas).
The routes are mapped out and programmed into the machine before delivery.
4. Start-up
Once installed, the routes are confirmed and the settings are adjusted.
You can programme your feed rations and feeding times: AURA is ready to operate independently.
Feedback: impressive figures
Five years’ experience on the market has seen us meet all expectations:
- Over 120,000 cumulative working hours
- Over 120,000 tonnes of high-quality mixed feed distributed
- Several machines, each with more than 15,000 working hours
- A diverse customer-base: dairy farms, fattening farms, goat farms, etc.
- Time-saving: users spend just 0.5 minutes per cow per week on feeding
What users are saying
- There is less competition at the trough. First-calf heifers get off to a better start in dairy production.
- A regular supply of fresh feed helps to maintain the animals’ feed intake in hot weather
- With the magnet in the tank, fewer of my cows are affected by foreign objects
- Since using AURA, I’ve seen an increase in the number of visits to the milking robot
- The fattening period for my beef cattle has been reduced
- I saved 8 hectares of silage maize over the course of a year for my 240 cows, which is 10 percent
