Grain Temperature Monitoring Systems
Temperature monitoring is an essential part of modern grain storage management.
Even small increases in temperature inside a grain bin can indicate developing spoilage.
Monitoring systems use temperature cables installed inside bins to measure grain conditions.
Detecting Hot Spots
Hot spots inside a bin may indicate:
• insect activity
• moisture buildup
• mold growth
Monitoring and Inventory Tracking
Temperature monitoring works best when combined with grain inventory tracking.
Operators often track grain by bin using AgShed Pro v2.5 while estimating bin capacity with the Grain Bin Capacity Calculator.
