Hay Storage Monitoring (basic, advanced and satellite kits)


The Hay Bale Monitoring System consists of number of Lyras sensors reporting to a BLE gateway device (Polaris or Antares).

The Lyra sensors are inserted into a representative number of hay bales during storage. These sensors monitoring the temperature inside the bale and in the event of a temperature rise, the system generates an alert. In the event of likely hay degradation or combustion risk, appropriate action can be taken (selling, accelerating usage or breaking apart the stack).
