Taditional bin sensors were built to optimize the feed mill's delivery schedule, not to protect your herd's health. FeedFlo is the world's only on-pipe sensor that monitors what’s actually flowing into the feeders, catching empty pipes and bin-slide issues the second they happen. Plus, it monitors your bin inventory.
You’ve experienced the frustration of walking into a barn at 6:00 AM, only to find empty feeders. Maybe a slide was left closed. Maybe a boot bridged. Maybe a feedline motor failed.
Top-of-bin inventory systems are blind to these problems in real time. If feed stops moving, the bin level simply stops dropping, and the system assumes everything is fine. That means top-down systems can be hours behind FeedFlo when it comes to detecting feed disruptions.
How much does a missed out-of-feed event cost your operation?
What it Measures

Feed stored in the bin
Out-of-Feed Alerts
Immediate
(catches empty lines instantly)
Delayed
(relies on bin surface level dropping)

No - only measures bulk inventory
Mechanical Alerts
Yes - identifies bridged
boots and closed slides
No - blind to in-barn mechanics
Bin Inventory
Yes - Fuses Feed Mill and Flo-data to calculate
