BarnTools Introduces BinTalk Pro

BarnTools has announced the launch of BinTalk Pro, a feed monitoring system that delivers near real-time insights and oversight for poultry and swine producers. 

With updates every 15 minutes — 16 times more frequently than the industry standard — BinTalk Pro enables producers to detect issues as they develop and to prevent feed interruptions before they impact production.

Smart Event Detection Technology

Powered by smart event detection, BinTalk Pro goes beyond simple feed level monitoring. Using farm-tested algorithms, the system detects essential feed events and ensures alerts reach the right person for immediate action. The app provides growers with actionable insights to support peak animal performance, while managers gain visibility across all locations to drive operational decisions.

Unlike traditional sensors that provide delayed data and create monitoring blind spots, BinTalk Pro captures early signals of out-of-feed events — which research shows occur 4.4 times more frequently than total feed outages, according to the company. With 80% of return on investment tied to catching these early warnings, producers gain insights needed to act quickly.

According to Mike DeCap, Grandview Farms wean-to-finish director, “Getting updates every 15 minutes versus every four hours is the difference between seeing problems and solving them.”

Precision Engineering 

BinTalk Pro features a Quad Direct Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor that delivers sub-inch accuracy up to 30 feet, even in dusty, low-light barn conditions. The advanced sensor provides 99% bin visibility through a 140° field of view, ensuring producers capture a near-complete picture of feed levels throughout the operation.

Key features include:

• Self-calibration for easy setup and ongoing operation
• Over 1 million pixel-level visualizations for clear insights
• Safe operating range of minus-30°–140ºF ensures year-round reliability
• Anti-static, self-cleaning glass lens technology
• Installation in under 10 minutes, no specialized tools required

Enterprise Solutions

While BinTalk Pro helps growers address farm-level issues in real time, integrators and producers gain enterprise-wide visibility through a single, unified dashboard — enabling smarter feed ordering, reducing waste, and ensuring timely deliveries across the entire operation. The system integrates with existing infrastructure, including MTech platforms and in-house systems, preserving established workflows while elevating accuracy with the industry’s most advanced imaging technology.

“BinTalk Pro isn’t just more precise — it’s been redesigned from the ground up to help farms see more, do more, and save more,” said Michael Hansen, CEO of BarnTools. “Your frontline workers determine if you win or lose every day. BinTalk Pro gives them the insights to act fast and equips managers with complete visibility to drive performance at scale.”

Barn Monitoring Beyond Feed Management

BinTalk Pro extends monitoring capabilities beyond feed levels. The same gateway supports BarnTools environmental sensors, enabling producers to monitor water intake, temperature, and humidity — three critical indicators of animal health and performance. From detecting early signs of illness through water usage patterns to identifying air quality issues, the system provides producers with a complete operational picture.
