In the scenic countryside of Switzerland, innovation meets tradition. Swiss farmers Fabian Bütler and Paul Scheiwiller joined hands with Sveaverken to introduce Nimbo — a smart, automated feed pusher that’s quietly revolutionizing the way dairy farmers manage daily feeding. Through real-life stories from local farms, this collaboration shows how Nimbo makes work easier, cows happier, and milk yields higher.
A Swiss Partnership Driving the Future of Smart Feeding
Fabian Bütler, a Swiss mechanic and importer, first discovered Sveaverken online when searching for a simple automation solution for his customers. Impressed by Nimbo’s reliability and ease of use, he partnered with Sveaverken to bring the product to Switzerland.
Later, Fabian teamed up with Paul Scheiwiller, the owner of Dirim AG — a trading company established in 1959 with deep roots in Swiss agriculture. Combining Fabian’s technical expertise and Paul’s vast distribution network, they successfully introduced Nimbo to dairy farms across the country. Together, they’ve helped farmers transition into a smarter, more automated future of feeding.
Challenges of Farmers in Switzerland
Swiss dairy farmers face increasing challenges in ensuring that their cows receive enough feed throughout the day. Long working hours, limited manpower, and the demand for consistency make it difficult to keep feed accessible for the cows at all times.
Traditional manual feed pushing is time-consuming and physically demanding. Farmers often have to return to the barn several times a day — even late at night — to make sure the cows have access to feed. This not only adds strain to their work but can also limit milk production if cows can’t eat as frequently as they should.
How Nimbo Makes Feeding Smarter, Easier, and More Profitable
With Nimbo, feeding has become effortless. The robot automatically pushes feed back to where cows can reach — day and night, without interruption. Most farmers let it run every hour to ensure cows always have enough to eat, which naturally boosts dry matter intake and milk yield.
As one Swiss farmer shared, “With dairy cows, everything is about feeding. Even when we’re not in the barn at night, Nimbo keeps pushing feed — the cows always have something to eat.” This consistent feeding routine has reduced manual work and brought real relief. Michael from St. Gallen added, “We definitely have a lot less work in the evenings. Around midnight, when the grass thaws, the cows get up and go to milking more willingly — that’s exactly what I was hoping for.”
Easy to install, simple to operate, and monitored through a mobile app, Nimbo delivers peace of mind and steady performance. As one farmer summed it up perfectly: “It basically never stops; it just keeps running.” Reliable, smart, and built for everyday farming — that’s Nimbo.
Next-Gen Innovation: Meet Nimbo with LiDAR Precision
Built on the proven success of the original Nimbo, the new Nimbo X takes feed pushing to the next level. Equipped with advanced 3D LiDAR and intelligent automation, it navigates with exceptional accuracy, detects obstacles in real time, and optimizes every route for smoother, safer operation.
From adapting to complex barn layouts to maintaining steady performance on uneven surfaces, Nimbo X is designed to make feeding effortless. It keeps feed within reach around the clock, reduces manual labor, and installs it in no time — giving farmers more freedom to focus on what truly matters.
