Robots and smartwatches in the hi-tech stables in the province of Cremona. The Carioni Group, based in Trescore Cremasco, in Lombardy, has 2000 dairy cattle.

Each bovine is associated with a pedometer, a sort of smartwatch that monitors its health and analyzes its habits. The cattle, in addition to the milk, also produce livestock waste which is recovered to produce digestate in the company's biogas plants.
