Binconnect is a system for continuous monitoring of silo contents. The installation does not require extensive intervention in the silo, but simply attaches a sensor and transmitter to one of the legs of the container. This then senses the strain in the metal and calculates how much content there is in kilograms and gives a forecast for when it is expected to be empty. You can monitor this via the web or app, and you can also connect your feed supplier to the system, or place orders directly in the app.
The price is around SEK 16500 and includes 5 years of service and subscription. The calibration is done by mounting the sensor on the leg of the silo, preferably when the silo is empty or as close to zero as possible. It must be there for at least 24 hours for zero mapping. Then you fill up with feed from a truck with known weight according to the consignment note. This is registered by the system and you get an initial weight check. The next time you fill after a completely empty silo, you calibrate again. The more times you do this, the better it gets.
