Abstract
The most used automated stored grain bulk monitoring technology relies on temperature and moisture sensors incorporated into steel cables suspended from the roof to the floor of bins. However, cable-based sensors can be expensive and require reinforcing roofs to account for the frictional forces exerted by the grain mass on the cables during loading, settling, and unloading. This report discusses wireless sensors as an alternative. These three studies took place in storage bins at the ISU Ag Engineering/Agronomy Farm, Boone, Iowa.
