Bachelor Assignment

Designing a modular milking parlour concept

Kamphuis Konstruktie produces steelwork constructions for milking parlours. Currently, clients receive personalised models, which is a time-consuming task. Therefore, the goal was to design a new concept, decreasing modelling, production and construction times through modular design. This assignment focussed on the steelwork construction of a parlour, while leaving space for other aspects such as equipment.

Functions were listed to obtain an overview of necessary modules. Through brainstorming, a questionnaire, literary research and empirical research a requirements list could be created. Forming the basis for concept creation and evaluation.

The result is a milking parlour design concept with some innovative features. A module list, three walkthrough modules and further instructions for development have been created. Allowing the company to further develop the concept.
