BinSentry launches CEM software to track slide management issues

Leading ag-tech company, BinSentry recently announced Critical Event Management (CEM) – a new software add-on to their leading feed inventory management platform

Bin slide management is critical in maintaining the health and performance of swine and poultry. This is because 80% of out-of-feed outage hours are caused by errors in bin slide management that often go undetected and untracted. These can have a direct impact on livestock health and performance. Although out-of-feed events can happen anytime, timely action is what matters. 

BinSentry provides visibility into what is happening inside these bins, with its new add-on CEM feature allowing producers and mill operators to see and manage slide management issues at any time, from anywhere. Using AI, BinSentry enhances process control, prevents waste, lowers transportation costs, protects workers, and improves animal health and performance. In addition to real-time alerts via SMS text, CEM tracks event time, duration and whether employees have responded to the event.

Users can also conveniently track out-of-feed events over time and compare across farms. This allows producers to make data-based decisions about feed management throughout their operations that help improve feed conversion ratios (FCR) by up to 10 basis points, avoids emergency food deliveries and ensures that their animals reach the market on time and in prime condition. 

“Animal feed represents about two-thirds of the total cost of food production, so obviously anything we can do to improve FCR is going to help producers,” stated BinSentry CEO, Ben Allen. “Improving feed management also helps feed mills and distributors become more efficient and profitable, lowering their costs by delivering the right feed mixes at the right time while putting fewer trucks and fuller trucks on the road.”
