Before you connect
Questions about Grain Watch.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does Grain Watch help with grain spoilage?
It gives you real-time data on heat and moisture, which are the biggest drivers of spoilage. By identifying hot spots early, you can take action before the grain is ruined.
Can I see the humidity levels in my silos?
Yes, you can ask your agent for the current humidity in any specific silo. It will report the relative humidity from multiple sensor positions to help you track moisture migration.
What happens if a sensor goes offline?
The Connector monitors sensor health for you. You can ask your agent which sensors are offline or check the battery levels of your wireless units to keep the system running.
Can I get a summary of my whole facility?
Yes, you can ask for a facility overview. Your agent will summarize the temperature status of all your monitored silos in one go, making it easy to see the big picture.
How do I know where my sensors are located?
You can ask the agent to show the sensor map for a specific silo. It will describe the layout, including top, middle, and bottom positions, as well as the installation depths.
Does this Connector show historical data?
Yes, you can ask for temperature or humidity history. Your agent can pull trends over specific timeframes to help you see how conditions have shifted.
Can it tell me if my grain is at risk?
Yes, it provides an AI-powered spoilage risk assessment. It looks at your current temperature, humidity, and grain type to give you a risk level and recommended actions.
Can my AI detect hot spots developing in my grain silos before spoilage occurs?
Yes! Use the get_hotspot_alerts capability to check for active hot spot detections across your silos. Hot spots are localized temperature increases that indicate early biological activity (mold, insects, or grain respiration) before visible spoilage. For trend analysis, use get_temperature_history to see how temperatures have been changing over the past days or weeks. Early hot spot detection gives you critical time to activate aeration and prevent grain loss.
How do I get the AI spoilage risk assessment for my silos?
Use the get_spoilage_risk capability with your silo ID. Grain Watch AI analyzes temperature trends, humidity patterns, and grain type to provide a risk level (low, moderate, high, critical), contributing factors, predicted days until spoilage if conditions persist, and recommended preventive actions. This combines multiple data sources into a single actionable assessment. For a facility-wide view, use get_facility_overview to see overall risk across all silos.
Can I check the health of my temperature sensors to ensure reliable monitoring?
Yes! Use the get_sensor_health capability with your silo ID to check the status of all temperature and humidity sensors. This shows which sensors are active, offline, or faulted, along with last communication times and battery levels for wireless sensors. You can also use get_sensor_map to see the physical layout of all sensors in a silo, helping you understand which zones each sensor monitors.
