Abstract: A method implemented by a computer for the control of the milking operations of automated systems comprises the steps of: measuring the pressure in the vacuum line of the milking system; recording and storing pressure-measurement data as a function of time and construction of a related plot; comparison and processing of data acquired and stored with pre-set values and classification of milking events; display of milking events and alarm signalling on local or remote operator interfaces; in which an interaction with vacuum generation and regulation devices of said milking system occurs in response to a command given by the processing and the determination of an operational event in progress on the milking system, said operational event being determined by the comparison and correlation of the continuously measured pressure values of said pressure plot with values measured during pressure fluctuations recorded at moments preceding and following the change of said plot.
