Our IoT products are a plug-and-play solution for your grain bin. All devices read in-bin grain cables for grain temperature and moisture monitoring.
Different devices are used for In-Bin Drying & Hydrating and are able to automate the fan and heater with our modular control boxes.
Managing your grain is essential to running a profitable operation. Whether you are tracking, storing, monitoring or conditioning we have build a platform for all your grain management needs!
Adaptive Agriculture has been providing the Bindapt+ In-Bin Drying system since the foundation of the organization. Through customer feedback and R&D we have continued to develop valuable tools to assist farmers with their In-Bin Drying applications.
Manage your farm with your TEAM in a simple intuitively designed application from your Mobile or Desktop.
Manage all grain bin inventories (Grain, Fertilizer, Other). Monitor all available cables and set alerts to text or email
Fly between fields and track crop plans, field activities, and get virtual weather!
Track notes on all Bins, Fields, and Tasks to keep everyone updates with the latest accurate information
Geolocation allows you to pin-point areas of interest/concern in the field and place scouting markers for the future
Collaborate with you farm team, add additional users to you farm and keep everyone on the same page.
Additional features and integrations are constantly being worked on and evaluated. Each year there are always significant improvements to the platform.

Connecting a Flagro Construction heater to your Aeration Fan using our Patented Adapter Plates can turn your entire bin into an affordable grain drying solution!
Our Bindapt+ 2.0 Automate will regulate the temperature entering your bin to provide safe supplemental heat while collecting valuable insights on the progress via the Mobile and Desktop Web Platform
The Bindapt+ 2.0 Automate Device with a modular Plenum sensor that reads Temperature, Humidity, and Static pressure can be used together to mimic the perfect drying conditions. These data points are crucial to a successful In-Bin Drying Application. We use Temperature and Humidity set-points to regulate the supplemental heat entering the bin while using the Static Pressure Sensor to understand the fans performance.
The Static Pressure is matched against your Fan Chart to convert Pressure (iwg) into CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) in the platform. We take this one step further by dividing those CFM by the bushels in the bin to give you CFM per bushel. In order to dry grain In-Bin you must have over 1 CFM per Bushel of grain.

Traditionally everyone thought they need 1HP / 1000 bushels.
This is NOT TRUE if you are attempting In-Bin Drying!
Once the entire bin has heated and ran for a few days (or the estimated time) switch the Bin Mode from Drying to Cool-Down. The Cool-Down Cycle will ensure that the EMC of the grain remains constant while the heat is removed from your bin through Aeration.
After you can see all Grain Cable nodes have cooled down to a safe storage temperature you can turn off aeration and allow the bin the equalize. It takes up to 24 hours without aeration for the bin the equalize and provide accurate Moisture readings.
Take a few samples from your grain bin and analyze the results. There are a lot of variables at work when doing In-Bin Drying but with proper airflow and temperatures you can easily reduce your grains moisture levels. You can log your results in the ‘Notes” section of each bin.
The entire In-Bin Drying System can easily be moved from bin-to-bin rather than hauling grain to a dedicated dryer.
