WorldwideSilo Monitoring for Farmers - IoT Ventures
GrainSure provides real-time grain level monitoring with long-life, long-range IoT devices installed on silos. Farmers gain instant visibility into fill levels, usage trends, and predicted run-out dates, ensuring timely feed orders and uninterrupted operations.
Monitor Grain Levels in Real Time
Traditional silo monitoring relies on manual inspections, which can lead to inaccurate feed level estimates, unexpected shortages, and inefficient farm management. Additionally, climbing silos poses serious safety risks, including falls and dust inhalation, creating compliance challenges for farm owners.
GrainSure, the silo monitoring solution from IoT Ventures, eliminates these issues by providing automated, real-time monitoring of grain levels and usage trends, ensuring farmers never run out of feed. The smart sensor device, installed on the silo, continuously tracks grain levels and transmits data to a user-friendly mobile and desktop app. Farmers can monitor:
- Current grain levels – know exactly how much feed is left
- Daily usage trends – track consumption patterns over time
- Predicted run-out dates – receive automatic alerts when it’s time to reorder
By removing the need for manual checks, GrainSure improves efficiency, enhances worker safety, and enables proactive feed management.
Additionally, feed suppliers and logistics providers can leverage aggregated data for better route planning and inventory forecasting, ensuring smoother supply chain operations and lower costs.
