BinSentry, an ag-tech company that develops artificial intelligence tools for animal-feed supply chain efficiency and sustainability, recently introduced Critical Event Management (CEM) — a new software add-on to their leading feed inventory-management platform.
CEM allows producers and mill operators to see and manage slide-management issues at any time, from anywhere.
According to the company, the CEM software add-on gives customers real-time alerts through SMS text so they can respond immediately to out-of-feed events or other feed issues in their facilities.
In addition to real-time text alerts, CEM tracks event time, duration and whether employees have responded to the event.
Equipped with CEM and BinSentry’s Out-of-Feed Insights reporting dashboard, users can track out-of-feed events over time and compare across farms. This allows producers to make data-based decisions about feed management throughout their operations that could help improve feed-conversion ratios (FCR), avoid emergency feed deliveries and ensure their animals get to market on time and in prime condition.
“Out-of-feed events can happen at any time, for all kinds of reasons. Whatever the cause, a timely response is critical,” says BinSentry CEO Ben Allen.
“Animal feed represents about two-thirds of the total cost of food production, so obviously anything we can do to improve FCR is going to help producers,” he adds. “Improving feed management also helps feed mills and distributors become more efficient and profitable, lowering their costs by delivering the right feed mixes at the right time while putting fewer trucks and fuller trucks on the road.”
