5 Sensor Trends Set to Improve Feed Production, Feeding
Preview the innovations and new developments set to influence how sensors are used in feed milling, feed delivery
— By Jackie Roembke
Sensors provide real-time feedback, collecting and displaying data to provide an instantaneous operational benefit in feed manufacturing.
In applications ranging from feed bin level indicators to hazard monitoring, sensors provide performance information to enhance preventative feed mill maintenance programs, ensuring facilities run efficiently, with fewer repairs and prolonging the life of the equipment.
Automated control systems and facility upgrades further promote the integration of sensors into feed production for safety and to ensure proper equipment operation, leading to mills of all sizes embracing the new sensor products.
Beyond the many current benefits of sensors in feed production, several new developments in the technology and how it is applied have come on the market.
