Modernizing Animal Feed Operations

This is Tim Hammerich of the Ag Information Network with your Farm of the Future Report.

BinSentry, an AI-powered AgTech company, claims they are revolutionizing the animal feed supply chain by replacing outdated manual checks with precision sensor technology. CEO Ben Allen, says that it's time to move on from the old ways and eliminate guesswork, feed outages, and emergency orders.

Allen... "So the animal feed supply chain is still based largely on manually collected data, which means guys are climbing ladders and peering into dark holes, or hitting things with rubber mallets and trying to guess what's in big steel tanks; the same way it's been happening since my grandfather did it in the 1950s in a small town of Winterset, Iowa."

This is where BinSentry steps in to provide a new way to track feed levels.

Allen... "So BinSentry puts a high end time of flight camera into the top of animal feed bins. That gives us a highly accurate reading of the inventory levels inside of those feed bins and the rate of consumption of animals out at the barn sites. That data is then fed into our software platform where we can see things that go far beyond inventory. We can see what's going on with top fills, how often we're needing feed returns, when there are outages. We can actually help our enterprise customers, less emergency orders for feed, shortened outages, greatly reduced feed returns. You know, those types of really important metrics for the animal supply chain."
