Twenty years ago we would probably have suspected innovative high-tech applications and state-of-the-art sensors as the last thing in the cowshed. However, this traditional image of agriculture is long out of date. In some respects, farms are now like industrial companies. Today, almost one in five cowsheds in Germany has jumped on the digitalization train. The BLDC motors from Minebea Mitsumi PM DM should not be missing.
