When the material's temperature decreases the material becomes easier to grind. This is why it is important to monitor the conditions in your feed mill. AGI BinManager is an advanced grain bin monitoring solution that intelligently monitors the moisture content and temperature of the commodities inside your bin, as well as the outside air. This enables the system to automatically choose the optimal times to run heaters and fans. Frequent condition readings ensure you can be on top of what's going on in your bin at any time, from anywhere, making it easier for you to maintain crop quality and reach targets. AGI BinManager offers conditioning management, automatic drying, cooling, and hydration, and can be operated with either manual or user-defined controls. It seamlessly integrates with AGI’s cloud-based software, AGI SureTrack. Accessible through the app or any internet-connected device, the software allows users to see data collected by AGI BinManager and make decisions that enable them to maintain the highest quality crop. AGI CMC HAZARD MONITORING AGI’s CMC Hazard Monitoring is another example of how digital tools are transforming feed production. Our solutions provide real-time monitoring of equipment such as conveyors and hammer mills, to help ensure seamless, efficient production. By leveraging data from sensors that monitor bearing temperatures, belt misalignment and vibration, producers can detect and address potential issues before they lead to costly breakdowns. This predictive maintenance approach reduces downtime and enhances safety in feed mills, particularly where combustible dust poses significant risks. By utilizing the AGI FLEXmill, AGI BinManager and AGI CMC Hazard Monitoring together, an operator can decrease the amount of labor overseeing the feed mill operations and have confidence that their system can operate safely with the least amount of intervention. OVERHEAD STORAGE SOLUTIONS AND MATERIAL HANDLING AGI’s intelligently designed, engineered overhead storage bins are intended to help producers optimize space and minimize losses during storage and transfer. These bins are engineered with smooth interior walls and chamfered corners to prevent bridging and ensure optimal product flow. AGI overhead bins are designed to integrate perfectly with other feed mill components such as screw feeders, conveyors, and gates, to help create a seamless material handling system from storage to delivery. Our solutions are fully customizable to help meet specific feed storage needs.
