FAQ
Everything you need to know
Sensor
What kind of technology does the BinConnect sensor use?
BinConnect uses an exclusive, innovative, and non-intrusive process based on strain gauge technology (a reliable and proven technology for many years), enhanced by powerful algorithms and artificial intelligence. With BinConnect, the weight inside the feed bin can be estimated by measuring the deformation of just one of its legs, minimizing installation efforts and solution costs.
Is it fully wireless?
Absolutely, our solution is 100% wireless. There is no need for any specific cable work or connections. The electronic part of our device, along with the mechanical components, operates autonomously on a replaceable battery. Moreover, we offer various sensor versions to address any connectivity issues. These sensors use a multi-operator cellular network to transmit data or, in the absence of a cellular network, a 0G (low-power) network version is available for seamless data transmission.
Does the sensor withstand extreme weather conditions?
The sensor is able to withstand extreme weather conditions. Our algorithms have been designed to interpret these changes with a high degree of accuracy, whatever the season or weather conditions.
Interfaces
Can user access and rights be managed?
Yes, you can nominate or become an “administrator” who will be able to create the users and manage their rights.
Is the number of users limited?
The number of users is not limited, you can invite as much as users as you wish and choose their functions.
Can I integrate your data into our platform and vice versa?
Yes, the exchange between our platforms is possible and really easy to set.
Installation
How do I know if my silo/feed bin is eligible to be equipped with BinConnect?
No matter if it is a plastic or metallic one, as long as your feed bin is set on legs, in good conditions, our sensor can be quickly and easily installed. The chosen leg should firmly rest on the ground, be well-maintained, shielded from excessive sunlight, not used for filling the bin and not cluttered. A simple procedure and installation video are available, as well as online support by e-mail, telephone or even WhatsApp with our team if required.
How long does it take to install it?
With our special kit, installation is quick and easy, it takes less than 20 min to install a sensor. And only one sensor per feed bin is required.
When can I install the sensor?
You can have your sensor installed anytime, but preferably when our support is on line in order to have instant help if needed.
General

Its main objective remains to optimize the logistics of the animal nutrition supply chain.
