GSI BinRite analyzes hundreds of images per second

In April, Grain Systems Inc. (GSI) introduced the BinRite grain identification system to help prevent the accidental mixing of different types of grains and oilseeds, which can result in costly operational, logistical, and product quality issues.

According to Adam Weiss, global product management and technology director, “This is the first and only automated grain identification sensor on the market.”

Imaging System

He explains the new technology uses sensors that illuminate grain with multi-spectral light to analyze hundreds of images per second.

“These sensors can be mounted at varied and multiple locations throughout an elevator’s grain conveying system to verify that the correct grain types are being sent to each bin,” he adds.

Weiss says the sensors can be integrated with an elevator’s existing programmable logic controller protocols or have a stand-alone PLC as part of the installation if the facility doesn’t already have PLC automation.

If the identified commodity type is being misrouted, he says the fully automated sensor system will stop the grain flow and sound an alert.
