About

C. Amiama is a leading researcher in precision dairy farming and agricultural engineering, with a primary focus on optimizing automatic milking systems (AMS) and livestock management efficiency. Her most impactful work, "Estimating efficiency in automatic milking systems" (2012), has garnered 110 citations and stands as a cornerstone in the field. In this study, Amiama analyzed milking data from 34 single AMS units across 29 Galician dairy farms, providing a comprehensive assessment of system capacity under real-world conditions. By examining variables such as number of cows, milk yield, milkings per cow per day, actual and rejected milking times, and cleaning time, she identified key factors influencing AMS performance and offered actionable insights for improving farm productivity. This contribution has been instrumental for dairy farmers and engineers seeking to enhance robotic milking efficiency. Amiama’s work bridges the gap between engineering design and practical farm management, making her a respected voice in sustainable dairy production. Her research continues to inform best practices in automated livestock systems, with lasting impact on both academic and agricultural communities.
