Grain storage monitoring

Brazil is internationally recognized as a major exporter of agricultural products, but due to failures in storage processes and low storage capacity, losses reach 20%, considerably reducing the efficiency and productivity of national production.

The agricultural market is demanding and has a high level of sophistication in operations, with a volume of transactions where any loss is significant. To maximize production, agility and automation , viable only by monitoring and telemetry to correct time problems.

According to the National Rural Learning Service (Senar), 10% of national production is affected by biological, physical and chemical contaminants in the pre and post-harvest phases of grains.

Correct storage under ideal conditions made through the use of technology and real -time monitoring optimizes grain marketing . Thus, the producer can strategically choose the period of sale, increasing the autonomy of negotiation.

Among the main factors for grain loss, we can mention:

 

  • Outstanding discharges in the warehouse, damaging the grains.
  • High grain impurity rate
  • Variation in grain water content
  • Inadequate grain drying
  • Exposure of grains to the air

 

The storage temperature should be measured and permanently monitored. Grains exposed to non-controlled temperatures are susceptible to fungal attacks, as the water content is altered.

For the storage to be correct and safe, grains need to remain with 12 or 13% moisture after harvesting, in an environment controlled by drying machines, and it is essential to control the parameters of the operation.

Another aspect that directly influences the quality of production is the maintenance of equipment , whether electric, electronic or mechanical. Bridgemeter is the IIOT (Internet of Industrial) Solution of Above-Net virtually compatible with any equipment, device or sensor ,  which allows not only the remote monitoring of the operation but also the telemetry of the equipment to monitor wear and anticipation of failures unexpected.

 

Real -time decision support

Bridgemeter has been designed and built to capture, process, alert and store information in real time , truly offering a decision support solution, dynamically acting on processes with impactful results of operating costs , increased security and efficiency.

 

Its benefits of agricultural production are:

  • Immediate identification of deviations in the operation
  • Compatibility with sensors of various types and agricultural machinery
  • Low implementation cost
  • Real -time monitoring
  • Operation Remote Management
  • Configurable and scalable alarms and notifications

 

Through monitoring, telemetry, predictive analysis, intelligence in data analysis and alarm shots to the maintenance team, agricultural managers assume full control of the operation.
