Bin Inventory Level Monitoring

Olds College Centre for Innovation (OCCI) is partnering with North Star Systems to evaluate its bin inventory equipment. North Star Systems is developing a cost-effective solution for measuring inventory levels in grain bins by leveraging their hardware and user platform. The Smart Ag research team will conduct accuracy testing of the product using grain bins at the Olds College Smart Farm.  


Project Goals

  • Assess the product installation process. 
  • Identify if orientation or positioning of the device within the attic space of the bin impacts the measurement.
  • Provide datasets to North Star Systems for accuracy adjustments. 
  • Evaluate the reliability of the hardware. 

Funders/Partners: North Star Systems, NSERC, IRAP CTO, PrairiesCan
