System Considerations when Monitoring Bin Levels in the Grain Industry

The grain industry faces many challenges in managing inventory in large bins. When a single vessel may hold a million bushels, easily accessible "binventory" is crucial to the profitability of an operation.

There are various options available for data reporting, including cloud-based software and local display consoles. Learn about matching the right type of sensor to your operation for accurate level measurements in bins big and small. Plus, discover how point-level indicators are applied for affordable high- and low-level alert conditions.

Bin Level Measurement Transformed by IoT

Many feed mills, grain storage facilities, and pet food plants are big in size and small on staff. Making bin inventory management available anywhere, anytime enables people to be more efficient in their jobs.

A simple login on a website app or Software as a Service (SaaS) program puts real-time data in front of workers who need it to make timely decisions. Remote monitoring software benefits include improved processing efficiency, smarter ordering, optimized delivery schedules, and reduced carrying costs. Monitoring bin levels while on-site or off-premises boosts visibility throughout the company. Automated high- or low-level alerts via text or email allow for proactive action that can add to a mill’s bottom line.

BM-25 Diaphragm Level Switch for Bulk Material Alerts

Repeatedly checking to see if bins are full is tiresome. Employees take risks every time they climb a bin or silo, open a heavy hatch, and drop tape measures for manual inventory measurements.

BinMaster's simple-yet-effective BM-25 bin level indicator provides a better, safer way to manage stored bulk materials.

South American Agriculture Adopts Technology

Agriculture is a challenging profession with myriad dangers. These risks are not isolated to one specific country or region.

For example, in 1969, Brazil began keeping detailed statistics on agro-industrial accidents. It was disclosed that nearly 18% of all industrial workers (including 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. BinMaster level sensors and software can keep workers grounded in operations of all sizes, ensuring safer and more efficient inventory management.

Internet of Things in Agriculture

Do you use your phone to shut the garage door, turn on lights, adjust a thermostat, or connect to the 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 these principles. Sensors gather bulk inventory measurements and send data to BinCloud® software, which can be accessed by unlimited users for production, purchasing, and planning purposes.

High-Tech Precision Livestock Feeding

Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) is a state-of-the-art production system to continuously monitor agricultural operations, based on animal science and technology. This practice helps agricultural production managers monitor animal performance and health and optimize feed strategies. Studies show that smart PLF can decrease protein intake by 25% and nitrogen in the environment by 40%.

BinMaster offers bin monitoring tools for PLF agricultural operations with the latest in level sensing technology, helping maximize effective decision making.

Pit and Lagoon Monitoring

How much poop does a pig produce in a day? Aside from being one of the nastiest jobs on the farm, measuring animal waste is potentially one of the costliest dangers of managing livestock. In an industry where margins are slim to begin with, the price of non-compliance with waste management regulations can put an operation in jeopardy.

P.S: Pigs poop 11 pounds a day. We won’t even get into dairy cattle waste. PitView® software helps you manage it all.
