The FeedCast System
Little Bird's patent pending low power, wireless feed inventory control system has been designed to measure feed levels in livestock feed bins in a unique, non intrusive way. FeedCast provides integrators, feed mills, and growers very accurate feed inventory quantities and actionable metrics to more efficiently allocate resources in the feed supply-chain. Customers have used our technology to successfully eliminate feed outs, reduce over deliveries, and preemptively solve any scheduling conflicts. See how it works here.
Features
Easy Install
The sensing technology behind the FeedCast system makes the installation process simple (average 20 minutes per bin). No alteration to the bins, no need for power outlets, electricians, or heavy machinery to move the bin for install.
Accessible Data
With access to the cloud and our web portal/email reports/texts, the FeedCast data is accessible virtually anywhere. Our API enables you to pull the data from the cloud directly into your systems.
No Outlet. No Problem.
Our FeedCast system is self-powered. Li-Ion batteries and a solar panel make our systems self-sufficient. Thanks to its low power consumption, the system will run reliably, even when light conditions are less than ideal.
Analytic Tools
A set of analytic tools are available to take complete advantage of the newly gathered data. Compare feed rates between houses, minimize left over feed at the end of a flock, and eliminate feed outs by scheduling deliveries based on projected empty bin dates.
Wireless
The FeedCast system is capable of covering all farm sizes using a local, low-power, wireless technology. Then, a single farm cellular gateway will upload all the locally collected information to the cloud via the cellular network.
