2009} HerdStar LLC., a Minnesota based technology company, announces the release of its newest version of Bintrac.com introducing a whole new concept in Bin Monitoring and Feed tracking. Bintrac VMI version= 2.0 now tracks and reports Feed Events occurring on feed bins in near real time= !

Using Bintrac’s new Event Monitoring and Notification Service,= a barn manager can be notified when a bin has been filled, or when the bin is= not providing any feed. Bin= trac can now text-message managers at 6 hours, 12 hours and 18 hours into a Feed= -Out Event allowing them ample time to correct one of the most expensive feed is= sues before it impacts production.

Bintrac version 2.0 will alert individuals to Events while logged in= to the Bintrac.com website as well as email&n= bsp; or text-message notification of these feed events as they develop providing up to three notifications on Events as they trigger preconfigured severity levels. ‘No Usage’, ‘Fill Event’, ‘Feed Order Past Due’,<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> ‘Fill Amount Error’, ‘Bin Not Reporting’, ‘No Feed’, ‘Low/Abnormal Usage’ are just a few of the Events Bintrac VMI is monitoring automat= ically for its clients.

”I have been able to see and correct several Feed-Out Events o= n my sites since I started using Bintrac VMI version 2.0. If I am not in the office or it= 217;s a weekend, Bintrac continues to keep me posted on these Events by text-messaging it right to my phone! It only takes one or two Feed-Out Events prevented, before Bintrac V= MI pays for itself” reports Becky Dohlman, Vice President of Operations,= at Next Generation Pork.

Additionally, Bintrac VMI version 2.0 has enhanced its Historical Si= ngle and Tandem Bin Graphs. The All-In-One look at Tandem Bins is the most sophisticated and accurate Bin F= eed Level and Usage graphing presentation on the Market. It provides accurate hourly feed l= evels and usage over 15 to 105 days on a single graph that can be printed or downloaded to a personal spreadsheet for further analysis.

”Graphing Daily Usage overlaid with a 2 Day Average, I not only see my current feed usage in the barn, but also quickly see when my Usage is trending higher or lower, indicating something may be affecting consumption= in that barn. I can readily see = the impact of a Feed Out Event and, better yet, I monitor Feed-Out Events, trac= king how many have been corrected before they have impacted my production!” stated Dohlman.
