Gain Control with
Feed Bin Monitoring.
Real-time feed bin monitoring across one or multiple bins gives growers better operational control. Schedule deliveries with greater accuracy and reduce last-minute orders.
The 4 Pillars of Feed Monitoring
Feed represents 60-70% of your operational costs. Knowing what's in your bins impacts everything.
Safety
Feed outages can be animal-welfare concerns. Real-time monitoring helps you catch low levels before they become a problem.
Profitability
Feed represents 60-70% of operational costs. Accurate monitoring directly impacts your bottom line.
Efficiency
Skip the manual bin checks and plan deliveries better. Know when to order more feed.
Animal Welfare
Help keep your animals fed on schedule. Monitor bin levels to prevent empty feeders and reduce stress.
Every Bin, Every House — One Live View
Feed IQ turns your bin sensors into a live dashboard: fill level, tons on hand, daily usage, and days of feed left — with low-bin alerts before you run out.

How LiDAR Measures Feed
The Agralink sensors are designed to detect accurate levels of feed regardless of bin type and layout. Set a minimum feed level threshold that triggers an alert when inventory runs low.
Distance Measurement
A LiDAR sensor mounted at the top of the bin measures the distance to the feed surface below.
Volume Calculation
Distance is converted to volume (cubic feet) using your bin's specific geometry and dimensions.
Calibration Applied
Our algorithm applies calibration specific to your operation to convert volume into a reliable weight estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Agralink's solar-powered LiDAR feed bin monitoring.
The sensor mounts on top of your feed bin and uses LiDAR to measure the distance to the feed surface every 5 minutes. Our algorithm converts that distance measurement to volume based on your bin geometry, then applies calibration to estimate feed weight accurately.
