FEED BIN SCALE

ACCURATE REAL-TIME FEED INVENTORY

The Feed Bin Scale provides precise real-time monitoring of the feed supply in silos. It continuously measures feed bin weight and updates it via a cloud-based platform. Farmers are notified via smartphone when feed levels reach predefined thresholds so they can make timely adjustments. Compatible with standard “W-shaped” silo leg profiles for 4, 6 or 8 leg bins.

Feed Constitutes 65% of Live Production Cost

Bin scales are an important tool for optimizing this process. In fact, they are the only sensor accurate enough to determine the feed consumption of individual birds, not just the entire flock. With this accurate data, you can make informed decisions about your flock management, reduce waste and avoid overfeeding, resulting in significant cost savings.

Optimize Feed Deliveries and Inventories

The Feed Bin Scale offers precise real-time monitoring of feed levels in silos, providing farmers with continuous updates via a cloud-based platform. When feed levels reach predefined thresholds, notifications are sent to their smartphones, allowing timely adjustments.

Benefits

Precise sensors are the building blocks of data collection. Accurate data is necessary for efficient flock management and prediction.

Simple & User-friendly

Low maintenance, easy to calibrate, 5-year warranty on mechanical parts, 2-year on electronic and 1-year against lightning (properly grounded bin).

Easy to Install

The Intelia feed bin scale does not require lifting the bins or drilling concrete. This can save up to 50% in installation time/cost!

Easy to Retrofit

Available for the common “W-shaped” leg profile found on poultry farms, for 4, 6 or 8 leg bins. *On most silos.

Precise Measurements

The use of advanced sensors ensures precise level measurement and avoids inaccuracies that can lead to inefficiencies in operation.

Scalable

Can be easily scaled to accommodate multiple silos and different types of feed, making it suitable for farms of different sizes and types.

Real-time Monitoring with Alert System

Sends notifications when feed levels are low, ensuring timely replenishment and preventing shortages.

Durable and Weather Resistant

Designed to withstand harsh farming conditions, it guarantees reliability and longevity even in bad weather.

Patented

Patented load cell configuration, installation and lifting system.

The Feed Bin System

The Intelia Feed Bin Scale product line includes several options, to make the system as simple as a standalone feed bin scale and as extensive as a true feed management system. When connected to Compass Farm Data Management Software, they allow you to take control of your feed, wherever you are.

Integral lifting system
Built-in compensation against wind-induced vibrations and temperature fluctuations
Capacity of 10,000lbs per load cell/leg
Built-in lightning protection.

Bin Indicator

Displays real-time feed level and inventory with a 7-segment LED indicator showing the current weight of the feed bin content
Large numeric, easy-to-read display, easy menu navigation, and a graphical status bar for quick level reading
Simple calibration process
Can be installed inside/outside
Can display the inventory of up to 4 near-by feed bins per bin indicator.

FarmHub

Connection of up to 4 feed bins and display of additional feed-related data: Feed level, daily consumption and feed inventory history
With the optional cellular package, FarmHub can transmit data to Compass Farm Management Software
The hub is ready to receive other sensors.

FAQ

How accurate is the Bin Scale?

The sensor is highly accurate and uses advanced technology to ensure accuracy in measuring feed usage, minimizing errors and ensuring you can rely on the data it provides.

Can the sensor handle different feed types and conditions?

The sensor is designed for different feed types and conditions, from grain to pellets, ensuring reliable performance regardless of the feed used.

What happens if the sensor stops working?

If the sensor has problems, it normally sends a message via the application. Our customer service is also available to help with troubleshooting and supply replacements if required.

Is the data from the sensor secure?

All data transmitted by the sensor is encrypted and securely stored on cloud servers to protect your company’s operating data from unauthorized access.

How often does the sensor need maintenance?

The sensor is low-maintenance thanks to its robust design. It’s recommended to check it routinely for cleanliness and functionality, but in general the maintenance effort is minimal.

Can I integrate this sensor with other farm management systems?

All our sensors are designed to be compatible with various farm management systems.
