Hidden outages are costing you money
Most out-of-feed events don't happen because a site runs out of feed, they happen because of delays in switching from empty to full bins, and other untracked feed flow interruptions. These invisible issues go unnoticed for hours, hurting FCR, productivity, and animal health. BinSentry gives you the tools to detect, understand, and act on these events the moment they occur and see improvements in feed conversion ratios.

Out-of-feed prevention uses accurate bin-level data and Critical Event Management alerts to detect feed flow interruptions instantly and notify the farm staff responsible for resolving them.
