Every silo, in your own hand.
Temperature, humidity, CO₂, outdoor conditions and the use of aeration directly affect the quality of the stored product and energy consumption.
Grain storage and plants
At every plant, keeping grain in condition depends on many variables that change over time. Temperature, humidity, CO₂, outdoor conditions and the use of aeration directly affect the quality of the stored product, energy consumption and the ability to anticipate problems.
Growcast moves you from periodic, generalised checks to continuous tracking of each storage space, in your own hand.
WHAT WE CAN SOLVE
- No continuous monitoring inside the silos.
- Dependence on constant rounds or manual checks.
- Difficulty comparing readings between silos or plants.
- Aeration run manually or without records.
- Aeration fans running too long or at the wrong times.
- Unnecessary energy use for lack of information.
- Late detection of critical or extreme conditions.
- No history per silo, batch or season.
- Difficulty prioritising the tasks that need attention.
WHAT IT MEASURES
- Inside temperature
- Inside relative humidity
- CO₂
- Outside temperature
- Outside relative humidity
- Aeration fan status
- Operating hours
WHAT IT CONTROLS
- Aeration fans.
- Extractors.
- Remote or automatic operation, according to the defined operating strategy.
- A record of when, how long and under what conditions aeration was used.
- 01We measure
We install sensors in each silo: inside temperature, relative humidity and CO₂, together with outside conditions.
- 02We analyse and alert
Growcast centralises each silo's information: current conditions, history, alerts and comparison between silos.
- 03We control and record
When the system is integrated with aeration, the fans can be operated remotely or automatically according to the defined operating strategy, with a record of when, how long and under what conditions they ran.
- Grain storage facilities
- Feed mills
- Seed companies
- Flour mills
- Grain conditioning plants
- Malt houses
- Aeration window
- Risk of quality loss
- Thermal evolution
- Detection of critical conditions
- Risk linked to biological activity
- Aeration use and efficiency
- Effective aeration hours
- Criticality level per silo
- Operating history
Every season, with its history.
Growcast records when, how much and under which conditions aeration was used, along with each silo's alerts and tasks, and builds the history per silo, lot or season.
WHAT IS NO LONGER DONE BY HAND
- Switching the fans on by eye: they run when indoor and outdoor conditions are right.
- Rounds and manual checks to know what is going on inside each silo.
- Writing down by hand when aeration ran and under which conditions.
- Running fans too much or at the wrong moment, and the energy that costs.

Let's talk about your operation.
Is there an important process that today is handled by eye, without data? Every implementation starts by understanding the operation.
