Grain Trailers for Precision Fill & Drain with Sensors

Introduction

Grain transport trailers play a pivotal role in the agricultural logistics chain. It is tasked with efficiently moving grain from farms to storage or processing centers. The integration of a grain level sensor system within these trailers substantially enhance the management of grain transport.

Challenges

Inefficient Utilization: Without precise level sensing, trailers may not be filled to their optimal capacity, leading to inefficient transport and loss of potential revenue.

Time-Consuming Operations: Manually checking whether trailers are correctly filled or emptied can lead to operational delays and increased labor costs.

Safety and Compliance Issues: Overloading trailers can cause safety issues and non-compliance with transportation regulations, leading to fines and potential legal problems.

Loss of Product: Inaccurate load assessments can result in product loss during the filling and draining processes, affecting profitability.
