Real-time feed monitoring with 15-minute updates prevents costly production interruptions while competitors check every 4 hours
Des Moines, Iowa – June 4, 2025 – BarnTools today announced the launch of BinTalk Pro, a next-generation feed monitoring system that delivers near real-time insights, unprecedented accuracy, and comprehensive operational oversight for poultry and swine producers. With updates every 15 minutes, 16 times more frequent than the industry standard, BinTalk Pro enables growers and integrators to detect issues as they develop and prevent costly feed interruptions before they impact production.
Revolutionary Smart Event Detection Technology
Powered by Smart Event Detection, BinTalk Pro goes beyond simple feed level monitoring to identify the critical moments that matter most. Using farm-tested algorithms, the system detects essential feed events and ensures alerts reach the right person for immediate action. The intuitive BarnTools app provides growers with real-time, actionable insights to support peak animal performance, while managers gain comprehensive visibility across all locations to drive smarter, faster operational decisions.
Unlike traditional sensors that provide delayed data and create monitoring blind spots, BinTalk Pro captures early signals of out-of-feed events – which research shows occur 4.4 times more frequently than total feed outages. With 80% of return on investment tied to catching these early warnings, producers gain the critical insights needed to act quickly and confidently.
“Getting updates every four hours vs. every fifteen minutes is the difference between seeing problems and solving them,” said Mike DeCap, Wean to Finish Director at Grand View Farms.
Precision Engineering for Demanding Farm Environments
At its core, BinTalk Pro features a Quad Direct Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor that delivers sub-inch accuracy up to 30 feet, even in dusty, low-light barn conditions. The advanced sensor provides 99% bin visibility through a 140º field of view—twice as wide as leading competitors—ensuring producers capture a near-complete picture of feed levels throughout their operation.
Key technical features include:
● Self-calibration for hassle-free setup and ongoing operation
● Over one million pixel-level visualizations for crystal-clear insights
● Safe operating range of -30ºF to 140ºF ensures year-round reliability
● Anti-static, self-cleaning glass lens technology
● Installation in under 10 minutes with no specialized tools required
Where Grower Needs Meet Enterprise Solutions
While BinTalk Pro helps growers address farm-level issues in real time, integrators and producers gain enterprise-wide visibility through a single, unified dashboard – enabling smarter feed ordering, reduced waste, and timely deliveries across their entire operation. The system integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, including MTech platforms and in-house systems, preserving established workflows while elevating accuracy with the industry’s most advanced imaging technology.
“BinTalk Pro isn’t just more precise – it’s been redesigned from the ground up to help farms see more, do more, and save more,” said Michael Hansen, CEO of BarnTools. “Your frontline workers determine if you win or lose every day. BinTalk Pro gives them the insights to act fast, and equips managers with complete visibility to drive performance at scale.”
Comprehensive Barn Monitoring Beyond Feed Management
BinTalk Pro extends monitoring capabilities beyond feed levels. The same gateway supports BarnTools’ environmental sensors, enabling producers to monitor water intake, temperature, and humidity – three critical indicators of animal health and performance. From detecting early signs of illness through water usage patterns to identifying air quality issues, the system provides producers with a complete, real-time operational picture.
