Feed
Link Eliminates the Task of Climbing Bins
Feed Link eliminates the dangerous task of climbing bins to check
feed levels improving worker safety and decreasing labor cost. With
feed link, feed levels can be properly managed eliminating emergency
calls for feed and production losses associated with running out
of feed.
Water
Pulse Meter
Each display unit has an input for a water pulse meter allowing
water consumption to be monitored using the Feed Link software.
The network collector collects and stores water consumption data
for a rolling 24-hour period providing you with another tool to
monitor herd health.
Status Reports Automatically Sent
Feed Inventory and water consumption status reports can be direct
faxed from the network collector at scheduled intervals. Low level
reports are automatically sent when any bin on the network falls
below a pre-set level providing an instant warning. Status and low-level
reports can also be received via e-mail by utilizing an internet
fax service provider.

Integra
Feed-Link Display Units
The
Feed Link display unit can be mounted either on the bin or inside
the building up to one hundred feet away for improved biosecurity
and convenience. The digital display can be set to display pounds,
kilograms or  percentage
of full. The display unit also serves as the interface to perform
a simple calibration procedure after the system has been installed. |

Field Calibration
>>
The
unique patent pending field calibration system utilized by Feed-Link
makes it possible to monitor the weight of feed without requiring
a load cell under every leg of the bin. This feature allows for the
most economical installation possible. For monitoring feed consumption,
placing a load cell under every leg will provide maximum accuracy. |

Load Cell Assembly
The
rugged load cell assemblies are specifically designed for the harsh
environment of a swine facility and adapt easily to most feed bins
utilizing the existing anchor bolts. Two models of load cells are
available, a standard unit for up to 5,000 lbs. (2,250 kg.) per
bin leg and a high capacity model rated at up to 10,000 lbs. (4,500
kg.) per bin leg. The compact design of the load cell assemblies
increases the overall height of the feed bin by approximately three
inches. (eight centimeters)

"The
impact of pigs going without feed is huge. Lost gains, ulcers, hemorrhagic
bowel, twisted intestine, tail biting and the resultant mortality
are all expensive issues. A system that helps us maintain feed inventories
would definitely pay dividends".

Agnet Software
For
the ultimate in a fully integrated management system, the Network
Collector can be hooked to a Bridge allowing access to the Feed-Link
system using proprietary Agnet software. In addition to monitoring
the Feed-Link system, Agnet software also provides monitoring and
control of Airstream environmental controllers, Weigh-Trax sorting
scales and Agri-Alert alarm systems. |
|
Feed Link Software
With
the easy to navigate Windows based Feed-Link software package, the
status of literally hundreds of sites can be monitored from a single
PC via fax modem. The software package is also used to enter site
information, fax numbers and parameters for the "fax out"
feature of the network collector. |

The Integra Feed Link network collector connects up to fifty-bin display
units providing access to feed inventory & feed and water consumption
information for an entire site from a single location. Data can be
accessed from the network collector by utilizing the Feed Link software
package on a PC either directly connected to the network collector
or remotely via modem. The network collector's internal fax modem
can be programmed, using the Feed link software, to send feed inventory
and water consumption status reports and low feed level warning reports
to your home, office, feed mill or any location equipped with a fax. |
