Advanced grain bin monitoring – with AGI BinManager® AGI BinManager® intelligently monitors the moisture content and temperature of the commodities inside your bin, as well as the outside air, which enables the system to automatically choose the optimal times to run heaters and fans. Frequent condition readings ensure you can be on top of what's going on in your bin at any time, from anywhere, allowing you to maintain crop quality and achieve greater profitability. PIONEERING BIN MONITORING EXCELLENCE Throughout its history, AGI has been offering innovative technology solutions to farmers....

Communications box transmits data to online account Sensor cables monitor your bin Weather station measures temperature and humidity Control box powers the entire system Air properties sensor (APS) measures air pressure

FEATURES 5 state-of-the-art hardware components, working seamlessly together to protect your grain Weatherproof control box and backlit control panel Weather station Moisture and temperature cable

Control box Controls the fans and heaters by accessing data from other parts of the system. It is also the power source for all the other components. Each control box can manage up to four devices (fans and/or heaters). For larger bins, multiple control boxes may be used, customized to meet your needs with an appropriate number of switch modules. Weather station Provides accurate and reliable information about the temperature and relative humidity of the outside air. This information is used to determine optimal times to run fans and heaters. Air properties sensor (APS) The APS measures the...

AUTOMATION Automate your grain conditioning Determining when and how long to run fans and/or heaters can be a time-consuming process. AGI BinManager can automate fans and/or heaters to run only when productive air is present by using data collected from moisture and temperature readings throughout the bin and comparing it against conditions of the outside air and the air in the plenum. • Characteristic-based algorithms determine the correct running times for fans and heaters • A utomating the conditioning process saves time and energy costs MINIMIZE LOSS AND ENERGY COST

PROFITABILITY Create premium marketing opportunities CASE STUDY: CORN MOISTURE CONTENT: 20% to 15% using AGI BinManager and fans Proper grain storage preserves and conditions grain, helping capture higher profits. It’s not enough to just fill your grain bins; you invest too much in your crop to run the risk of shrinkage or over-drying. AGI BinManager is calibrated to automate fans, moisture dry down, rehydration and cooling to achieve and maintain target moisture levels while maintaining protein, starch and oil content. As the industryleading grain bin management solution AGI BinManager...

WHAT DO FARMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT AGI BINMANAGER? Safety first Priceless When I took the grain out of the bin and hauled it to the elevator, it was all within a half-point from top to bottom and one-fourth point from my target moisture...I couldn’t believe the energy savings! — John Krueger It’s the most efficient system that I’ve ever dreamed of that could put moisture back into soybeans. I think it’s going to pay for itself extremely fast. An organic grower in Iowa, with over 650,000 bushels in storage at one time, is able to enhance value by storing his entire harvest throughout the year...
