The grain industry faces many challenges in managing inventory in large bins where a single vessel may hold a million bushels, making "binventory" crucial to the profitability of an operation. This white paper discusses how continuous-level sensors can be sued for accurate inventory management for local or company-wide monitoring. The are various options available for data reporting, including cloud-based applications, software, consoles, and automated text and email alerts. Learn about matching the right type of sensor for your operation for bins large and small, plus how point-level indicators can be applied for affordable high and low-level alert conditions.
Brazil’s agricultural prowess is evident. The country produces more than 145 million tons of grain per year. Recently, the country’s Ministry of Agriculture and the Brazilian Agriculture Research Corporation signed agreements to develop digital and precision agriculture. The country’s agro-industrial technology efforts aim for sustainability and profitability. This agriculture technology focus has included inventory control systems with silo sensors and cloud inventory software offered by BinMaster.
The dangers of agriculture occur throughout the world. It is a challenging profession.
Brazil, for example, began keeping more detailed statistics on agro-industrial accidents starting in 1969. It was disclosed that nearly 18% of all industrial workers (that includes agriculture) suffered accidents. Preventive measures helped reduce that to 3.84% in 1984.
Research, in the U.S., shows that 70% of silo or bin entrapments happen on smaller family farms. While South American statistics are not available for this type of injury, it’s safe to make the comparison.
By using a phone to shut your garage door, turn on lights, adjust a thermostat, or even connect a car radio, you’re engaged in Internet of Things (IoT). Businesses are quickly getting on board with IoT to save time, share data, and enhance decisions. BinMaster creates systems based on IoT.
BinMaster sensors gather data on bulk inventory and send data to a cloud-based application called BinCloud®, which can be accessed by multiple people for production, purchasing, and planning purposes.
