How does OPI Blue determine bin levels?

Read the article below to learn how OPI Blue estimates the grain level inside the bin structure.

OPI Blue determines the bin levels by looking at the readings from a sensor on a sensing cable installed inside the bin structure and compares it to previous readings that it has taken. If there is little to no change then the system can assume that the sensor is engulfed in grain and it can determine that the bin level is at least that high. This process takes 12-24 hours.

Below is a screenshot of a bin structure that has a large amount of temperature variance from the readings so the system has determined there to be no grain in the bin:

Below is a screenshot of a bin structure that has some sensors with no variance in temperature and some sensors with a large amount of variance in the temperature so the system has determined the grain bin to be partially full:

Below is a screenshot of a bin structure that has all sensors with no variance in temperature so the system has determined the grain bin to be full:
