How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Grain Bin Entrapments

What this episode covers

Every year, dozens of grain workers die in grain bin entrapments — buried alive by flowing grain. This episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo explores a new wave of IoT sensor arrays that detect temperature, moisture, and carbon dioxide levels inside bins, predicting crusting and bridging before they become death traps. Hosts Lucas and Luna walk through a specific installation at a 12-bin facility in central Illinois, where vibration nodes and gas sensors now replace dangerous manual sounding. They discuss the physics of grain flow, the fatalities that drove adoption, and why a $15,000 sensor retrofit can save a life — and a harvest. No fluff, just the numbers and engineering behind a quiet safety revolution in America's breadbasket. #IoT #IndustrialIoT #GrainBinSafety #AgricultureTechnology #SensorTechnology #WorkplaceSafety #SmartAgriculture #GrainStorage #CO2Monitoring #TemperatureSensors #MoistureSensors #VibrationSensors #GrainEntrapment #OSHA #PrecisionFarming #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
