Continuously Sensing
Moving Beyond Reactive Indicators
Every tool farmers currently use reacts only after the damage has already been done:
- Temperature Cables: Only sense heat after a hot spot forms, leaving active threats completely hidden inside cold pockets.
- CO₂ Monitors: Measure generic, non-specific biological spikes that lag 3 to 5 weeks behind the onset of spoilage and have the tendency to react to combustion exhaust from outside factors.
- Manual Checking: Involves dangerous silo climbs that only catch what is already visibly ruined at the surface.
GrainGuard continuously scans the air profile around the clock to detect active threats weeks before legacy systems notice a change.
The 12-Day Early Intervention Window
Actionable Warning Windows
In controlled laboratory evaluations, "digital fingerprint" indicators were identified up to 12 days before visible damage or adult insect emergence occurred. We are pioneering this vital window of opportunity so producers can aerate, fumigate, or move grain before value is lost.
Validated by Science, Built for the Field.
Our technology is currently advancing through rigorous Technology Readiness Level (TRL) phases, with active field pilot deployments and research evaluations designed in coordination with insights from leading agricultural engineers and specialists at Clemson University and the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
Every milestone, metric, and engineering decision behind GrainGuard is developed and evaluated against the Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) lenses defined by leading experts in agriculture, entomology, data science, and precision engineering.
