That’s the question GSI is trying to answer with its new GrainVue system, a technology the company says takes the guesswork out of grain management.
The technology provides up-to-the-minute moisture and temperature data and inventory levels from inside the grain bin, and also collects and analyzes on-site weather conditions and automates the operation of fans to dry, cool, rehydrate or warm the grain to ensure safe storage, explains Greg Treim, director of technical sales at GSI.
“Basically, we have the ability to measure grain temperature, grain moisture and CO2 levels,” Trame says. He notes that the ability to measure CO2 levels is a key component because it’s the earliest way to detect grain spoilage. “When you combine all of these things, it gives us an accurate picture of what’s going on inside the grain bin, which helps farmers maximize their profits when they take their crop to market.”
In this interview Commodity Classic, Houston, TexasTrame points out that GrainVue will alert you if it detects signs of spoilage, and because it’s a cloud-based system via Amazon Web Services, he adds, it’s reliable, secure, easy to install, and built for future growth.
