Reduce out-of-feed events and improve your feed conversion ratio (FCR) with Critical Event Management software from BinSentry.
Critical Event Management is a software add-on that empowers you to see and manage feed flow issues as they happen.
Actionable data that safeguards FCR.
Critical Event Management sends SMS text alerts to your onsite team, so they can respond quickly to delays in switching from empty to full bins that keep feed from flowing to animals.
Real-world example:
The farm worker’s phone vibrates.
The farm worker checks their phone. It’s a Critical Event Management notification from BinSentry, alerting them that feed isn’t flowing to the animals in Sow Barn #1.
The Farm worker checks on Sow Barn #1, sees one of the tandem bins is empty and opens the other slide
Feed flows once again to the animals. Job done.
Setup takes seconds, with no training or software installs required. Workers simply opt-in to receiving SMS alerts from Critical Event Management – that’s it!
Bringing visibility to an invisible problem
Did you know that up to 80% of out-of-feed events are caused not by running out of feed on-site, but by bin management. Specifically, delays in switching from empty to full feed bins.
Not only do bin switching delays go untracked and unreported – but they have a very real impact on feed conversion ratios (FCR).
Out-of-feed duration with and without SMS notifications
The less time animals spend without feed, the better your FCR.
When field workers are receiving timely SMS text alerts from Critical Event Management, the average length of a bin switching delay decreases by nearly 6 hours.
With SMS alerts, your longest bin switching delays are 12 hours shorter!
