Real-Time Feed Monitoring
Level sensors provide continuous updates on feed levels in bins and silos.
Feed Inventory Management Systems
BinMaster provides automated animal feed inventory management for livestock producers and feed suppliers.
The full FeedView® solution, powered by level sensors and cloud-based software, delivers real-time visibility into feed stored in bins, silos, and tanks.
BinMaster's products help prevent feed outages, reduce delivery costs, improve safety, and optimize feed usage across single or multi-site operations.
Prevent Feed Outages
Inventory Systems for Animal Feed Operations
Running out of feed disrupts animal health and production schedules. Continuous level sensors automatically monitor feed levels and forecast run-out dates so deliveries are scheduled before bins fall empty.
Control Feed Costs
Accurate feed inventory data helps producers order only what’s needed, avoid emergency deliveries, and prevent costly overfills. FeedView supports smarter purchasing decisions and predictable feed budgets.
Improve Safety and Labor Efficiency
Automated feed level measurement eliminates manual checks and ladder climbing. Reduced labor improves safety while freeing staff for higher-value tasks.
Remote Monitoring Across Multiple Sites
FeedView provides centralized feed inventory visibility across barns, farms, and locations with a single login accessible on a phone, tablet, or PC.
Common Feed Industry Applications
Hog Operations
Monitor feed inventory across farrowing, nursery, grower, and finishing barns. Prevent outages, optimize rations, and reduce waste.
Poultry Operations
Track feed usage across layer, breeder, and broiler houses. Coordinate bulk feed deliveries and avoid overfills during high-consumption cycles.
Dairy and Beef Operations
Monitor multiple feed silos and liquid feed tanks remotely. Forecast feed requirements and reduce labor costs.
Feed Mills and Suppliers
Gain visibility into customer feed inventory levels to reduce emergency orders, improve delivery scheduling, and support Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).
How FeedView Improves Feed Inventory Management
Feed Consumption Forecasting
Historical usage data projects when feed bins will reach empty, enabling confident ordering.
Integrated Feed Ordering
Align feed orders with mill schedules to reduce rush deliveries and transportation costs.
Shared Inventory Visibility
Producers, nutritionists, managers, & suppliers view the same inventory data to improve coordination.
Components of an Automated Feed Inventory System
Laser level sensors mount on the top of feed bins and measure silos up to 160 feet tall.
LoRa wireless technology transmits sensor data to a gateway, reducing installation costs and eliminating trenching or hard wiring.
Cloud-based software displays real-time feed inventory, usage history, and forecasted run-out dates.
Role-based access and historical reports support audits, optimization, and supplier collaboration.
