Disclosed is an automated device (10) for milking animals (20). The device (10) comprises at least two sensors (12, 13) for measuring at least two parameters of an animal (20) to be milked, a processor (11) and a signalling element (15). The processor (11) is operatively coupled to the at least two sensors (12, 13) and is configured for: comparing the measured parameters with respective absolute limit values and generating an attention value when a first specific number (A1) of the measured parameters exceed the respective absolute limit values. The signalling element (15), coupled to the processor (11), is configured for indicating a representation of the attention value. The processor (11) is further configured for: comparing at least one of the measured parameters with a respective adjusted limit value and generating the attention value when a second specific number (A2) of the measured parameters exceed the respective absolute limit values and a third specific number (A3) of the measured parameters exceed the respective adjusted limit values.
