Monitoring Tech to Keep Tabs on Your Bins
You’ ve already put a lot of time and investment into your grain over each harvest season, so you want to make sure it has the right environment and conditions. Excess moisture, higher temperatures or lack of air flow can have disastrous effects on your yield, and in a moment, you can be left with nothing.
Grain monitoring technology and equipment can make your storage more efficient and profitable while giving you the peace of mind that your inventory is protected.
GrainTrac
GrainVue
The GrainVue system by GSI offers a comprehensive solution for managing stored grain through automated aeration and real-time monitoring. Designed specifically for on-farm storage, the platform uses digital cable technology to track moisture, temperature and inventory levels across each bin.
With the addition of a connected weather station and fan module, producers can automate fan operation to cool, dry, maintain or rehydrate grain as needed. GrainVue also supports early spoilage detection by alerting users when carbon dioxide levels rise— a common indicator of grain degradation. The smart aeration modes allow fans and heaters to respond to site-specific conditions, reducing energy use while protecting quality.
The user-friendly interface allows management decisions from virtually anywhere through remote access. With customizable alerts and cloud-based connectivity, GrainVue is built to minimize risk while extending safe storage timelines, especially during warmer months when temperature fluctuations can accelerate spoilage. One gateway per bin site transmits the data securely to the cloud.

Offering real-time access to temperature data and fan control from a smartphone or computer, GrainTrac is a remote grain monitoring system designed for on-farm use. The system records readings four times per day and sends the information to a secure website to help producers monitor conditions across one bin or an entire site.
Users can configure alarms, receive text or email alerts and control fans remotely to optimize grain preservation and energy use. GrainTrac is compatible with existing monitoring systems and can be easily expanded as farm needs grow. An optional WeatherTrac station allows for integration of localized weather data, further enhancing aeration decisions.
Additional features include theft detection alerts and a low annual service fee. The system is built to provide timely updates and long-term grain quality protection without requiring frequent manual checks, making it a practical tool for managing stored grain efficiently.
