Redesigned Calculation Process
The way raw sensor readings are processed into the reported feed level has been substantially redesigned. The updated process produces a more representative estimate of the feed remaining in each silo.
Calculations now make better use of:
- Silo dimensions and geometry
- Feed density
- Maximum and rated silo capacity
- Readings from multiple sensors
- Filtering designed to reduce the effect of isolated or inconsistent readings
Improved Fill Detection
Processing and filtering have been refined to reduce false fluctuations while recognising genuine changes in feed levels more quickly, including feed deliveries.
Use of Both Silo Devices
For each point in time shown on the feed-level charts, GrainSure will only calculate the amount of feed in the silo when both devices have provided distance readings. Where a reading is unavailable from either device, no calculated fill amount will be shown for that point. This avoids presenting an estimate based on incomplete sensor information.
