Issues with technology, like automatic feeders, can cause big losses over the course of a season. It is why one company is teaming up with hog producers to test a new way of monitoring your operations.
BinSentry has teamed up with HANOR to look at what causes feed outages. They found most are traced backed to issues with bin slides, and those errors can increase feed conversion ratios by as much as seven basis points, costing farmers extra money.
The company has developed 3D optical sensors that are powered by artificial intelligence. The system allows farmers to track feed levels and optimize feed management, especially when no one is on site.
