Wayne-Sanderson Farms has selected BinSentry to strengthen its animal feed supply chain management. The agreement will see Wayne-Sanderson Farms deploy BinSentry’s ProSense Feed sensors on feed bins positioned adjacent to poultry houses across all of its operations.
One of the largest poultry producers in the US, Wayne-Sanderson Farms has announced its partnership with BinSentry to enhance management of the company’s animal feed supply chain throughout its operations.
The companies reached an agreement that will see Wayne-Sanderson Farms deploy BinSentry’s ProSense Feed sensors on feed bins positioned adjacent to poultry houses across all of its operations. According to the announcement, these sensors will provide highly accurate feed inventory tracking, allowing operations managers to identify and address potential issues in their supply chains much more quickly compared to manual processes still used in much of the industry today.
With more than 2,000 farm partners and 26,000 employees at 23 processing facilities across the southeastern United States, Wayne-Sanderson points to this effort as reflecting its commitment to supporting family farmers and promoting animal welfare, sustainability, and workplace safety, while providing high-quality food to consumers.
“Over the past two years, we have been working diligently to apply new technology solutions to improve the management of our animal feed supply chain, which represents our largest operating expense,” said Kevin McDaniel, CEO of Wayne-Sanderson Farms. “The BinSentry platform is a true win-win solution that aligns with our goals by improving supply chain management, replacing manual processes, and allowing us to focus on feeding our chickens high-quality feed to care for them and produce the best food for our customers.”
BinSentry’s robust sensors provide a 3-D picture of what’s inside feed bins, eliminating the need for workers to climb ladders for dangerous and unreliable manual inventory checks. Combined with software that analyzes the sensor data and a mobile dashboard that works on any device, BinSentry allows producers to manage feed in real time, prevents costly out-of-feed events, and supports more efficient logistics, according to the announcement.
“Wayne Sanderson Farms is a leader in the application of technologies that create value at scale, and we truly appreciate our partnership with them,” expressed Ben Allen, CEO of BinSentry. “Our technology fully aligns with their commitment to continuously improve their operations for the benefit of their farm partners, customers and employees. We’re thrilled to be a small part of their success.”
