Full-Service Bin Monitoring System
 |
“We’re taking all our existing products and equipment and building them into one all-inclusive ecosystem of technology addressing the challenges of in-bin grain monitoring,” says Adaptive Agriculture owner Steve Rogoschewsky.
The product lineup includes the Bindapt Bin Monitor, which remotely reads existing or newly installed temperature and moisture bin cables. It’s compatible with modular plenum and CO2 headspace sensors.
The Binhalo device features all the standard Bin Monitor capabilities plus adds a modular control output to automate aeration, exhaust or supplemental heating.
The Bindapt+ is a standard monitor with an integrated plenum sensor and modular control output. This combination allows the system to automate and achieve a target bin moisture level plus estimate completion times.
For farmers needing two control outputs for remote automation of the drying and cool-down cycle, the Bindapt+ Pro is the right option. It delivers all the benefits of Bindapt+ with more inputs and outputs.
An intuitive mobile and desktop dashboard connects all smart devices with data, information and alerts.
Units plug directly into standard 110-volt receptacles or 220-volt power from an aeration fan.
“All products have an optional halo head to monitor headspace for CO2 levels. They send alerts of problems 1 to 2 weeks before traditional grain cables give notice of a heating event,” Rogoschewsky says.
Local Wi-Fi or a cellular network are required to run the technology. When Wi-Fi is used, no subscription or platform fees are added.
The units are manufactured in Saskatoon, Sask., and are available throughout North America.
“Farmers can try the Adaptive Agriculture Bin Monitoring system starting at $399 for basic bin monitoring,” Rogoschewsky says. “Most try it on one bin to get a feel for the visual farm system and then add automation. It’s attractive because it’s easy to install, has no setup fees, and has a low price point before committing to a large installation.”
Adaptive Agriculture hopes to add U.S.-based distributors and dealers.
