Cubic CO2 Sensor Solutions for Agricultural Silobag Industry

Why does silobag need highly accurate CO2 measurement?

Silobag technology is a widely used method for storing dry grains in many countries. In Argentina, 35 to 40 million tons of grains have been stored using this technology in recent years. Storing grains in silobag is a simple and cost-effective way to reduce losses and costs.

Monitoring the CO2 concentration levels in silobag is considered to be of vital importance to ensure the safety and quality of stored grain. Because in the process of grain storage, if there is grain spoiled, a large amount of CO2 will be generated in the silobag. Under this circumstance, to monitor the CO2 concentration level in the silobag can effectively judge the grain storage status and issue an early alert to prevent grain deterioration and loss.

In the basis of this background, a high-accuracy CO2 concentration measurement become increasingly and critically important.

CO2 sensor with IoT technology brings breakthrough to silobag monitoring

According to real silobag applications, the distribution of silobag in many large farms is scattered over large areas and distances, which makes it very difficult to monitor the CO2 concentration in silobag in a timely manner.

Thanks to the development of IoT technology, remote CO2 concentration monitoring inside silobag become possible. CO2 monitoring technology combined IoT technology enables long-distance real time monitoring of CO2 concentration become reality, as so to keep silobag under control in real time platform and to ensure that grain avoid from spoil and bring more food security and economic benefits to farmers.

New era of different and integrated technology developments also address higher challenges for CO2 sensor that is used in remote CO2 monitoring for silobag. These challenges primarily include

Larger CO2 concentration measurement range

Lower power consumption

Embedded temperature compensation and matrix calibration to ensure excellent accuracy for precise monitoring

Longer life span

Cost-effective for large-scale industrialization

Cubic's innovative NDIR CO2 sensor is a best candidate for silobag application

Cubic NDIR CO2 Sensor SRH-40 has been developed especifically for smart IoT silobag CO2 monitoring application, which is with large measurement range up to 40%vol CO2 concentration, high accuracy and can be set to low-power consumption mode with as low as below 1mA power consumption. It become an ideal choice to be used in silobag for remote and accurate CO2 monitoring. Cubic NDIR CO2 Sensor SRH-40 also features full-range linearization and digital signal output, fast response, high stability, and long lifespan of over 15 years, which enable it widely and increasingly applied into silobag application.
