FAQ

What grain conditions does Bin-Sense monitor?

Bin-Sense monitors temperature, moisture, and relative humidity. Many producers monitor just temperature. If you get moisture cables, they also have temperature sensors, performing dual duty.

How does the system communicate?

Bin-Sense communicates over the cellular network. Each site has one “Master Unit” that encloses a SIM Card responsible for transmitting the entire site’s data to your phone or computer.

Why don’t your products operate on Wi-Fi networks?

We are able to support our devices over cellular networks but we would be blocked from supporting them over Wi-Fi due to privacy settings. Moreover, Wi-Fi requires an electrical power source. We designed Bin-Sense to rely on solar and battery power.

Is Bin-Sense compatible with competitive grain bin monitoring solutions?

Our technologies are compatible with OPI StorMax, provided that the OPI cables are not analog. If you have an OPI cable that isn’t functioning properly, your best bet is to replace the cable (preferably with a Bin-Sense one) as opposed to trying to get Bin-Sense devices to read the defective cable.

What does the installation process involve?

One of our Bin-Sense dealers will start by creating your site on our Bin-Sense platform, including a site map. When they come to your location, they’ll install cables at the top of your bin roof and anchor them to the floor of your bin. They’ll bring out the devices and associate the cables with the devices so that if your grain conditions become a problem, you’ll know exactly where to look. Finally, they’ll provide you with training on how to use the software and understand the alerts you’re getting (either on the mobile app or the web dashboard) .

Does Bin-Sense measure grain volume?

It can generate an approximate measurement of grain volume. If you have set the correct bin model/dimensions on your account, using the sensors that are placed 4 feet apart vertically, the system can read which sensors are in contact with grain and which are not. The measuring capabilities are not precise, but you can arrive at an estimate this way.

Is the device weatherproof?

Yes, the Bin-Sense products are weatherproof and can be operated to -40 C.

What is the warranty?

We offer a two-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of installation.
