BinSentry launched ProSense HD, a new, artificial intelligence-powered inventory management platform aimed at commercial grain handlers and feed mills.
Having recently hit a market penetration milestone with over 25,000 poultry and swine feed bins monitored daily, with 1,500 new additional bins being added to its network every month, BinSentry is now bringing its proprietary technology to industrial-scale grain and inventory storage bins.
“The transparency and accuracy that ProSense HD brings to commercial inventory management is a big step forward when compared to asking employees to climb large bins and drop weighted lines to guess at inventory levels,” said BinSentry CEO, Ben Allen. “Our customers have consistently pushed us to solve this problem for them. They are eager to squeeze costs out of their inventory and grain supply chains through more efficient management, and our technology helps them do that quickly, efficiently and safely.”
“Our ProSense HD product goes beyond what we’ve been able to deliver to the feed industry by looking at significantly larger bins and silos, and more complicated, industrial-scale environments,” added BinSentry product manager, Jesse Sheather. “We’re providing the same level of 3D accuracy and real-time, AI-backed data that our customers use to manage their animal feed at thousands of barns across North America daily. Now, we can bring that same high quality data and transparency to bulk grain and inventory managers as well.”
ProSense HD delivers precise, real-time inventory monitoring, so operators always know what is in their commercial bins and silos at any moment in time. This inventory monitoring is carried out using high-definition 3D sensors that are designed to see past dust and debris.
Paired with these 3D sensors is BinSentry’s proprietary, AI-enhanced software, which can provide a wide range of data, management information and insights. Operators can use ProSense HD data to identify and manage issues such as inventory theft and shrinkage, demurrage and outages. Grain transport can also be more efficiently scheduled.
Allen points out that once ProSense HD is installed, employees no longer need to climb ladders to manually check inventories, which greatly reduces the risk of serious injuries and fatalities from falls.
ProSense HD is available as a subscription model that includes a lifetime hardware guarantee, data processing, cellular connectivity costs, and continual updates and ongoing feature additions to the software platform.
“Interest and demand in ProSense HD has been strong, and new hardware installs are taking place,” said Sheather. “We’re excited for our customers to see the benefits of ProSense HD on their operations in the coming months. This is only the beginning of what we see as a massive step forward in commercial inventory management.”
