System and method for adjustment of a milking location

A method of automatically adjusting an enclosure for milking an animal, the method comprising:

• detecting a presence and an identity of the animal in the enclosure;
• detecting a position of at least one barrier configured to form the enclosure, the barrier being movable;
• stepwise moving the barrier so as to adjust an interior dimension of the enclosure to the animal in the enclosure;
• storing the identity of the animal and a final position value of the barrier after the stepwise moving the barrier, the identity of the animal and the final position value of the barrier forming the enclosure occupied by the animal being stored in association with each other;
• and
• moving the barrier based on the stored final position value.

A system for automatic adjustment of an enclosure for milking an animal, the system comprising:

• at least one barrier configured to form the enclosure, the barrier being movable;
• at least one sensor configured to detect a presence of the animal in the enclosure and configured to detect a position value of the barrier;
• a controller connected to the sensor, the controller configured to move the barrier stepwise so as to adjust an interior dimension of the enclosure to the animal when the first sensor detects the presence of the animal in the enclosure;
• a memory connected to the controller, the memory configured to store an identity of the animal and a final position value of the barrier after the controller has completed stepwise movement of the barrier, the identity of the animal and the final position value of the barrier being associated in the memory, the controller being configured to move the barrier based on the final position value stored in the memory.
