Where can I update the bulk density of a bin?

The bulk density of feed may need to be changed when a new feed type is added to a bin.

Ideally you are taking advantage of our Orders, which incorporate the use of Feed Types. By scheduling orders in BinSentry, we can detect when they are delivered, and apply the correct bulk density to our calculations. 

In some cases, you may need to override the bulk density of a bin. To do that, follow the instructions below. Note that the bulk density will change upon the next detected delivery if you are using Orders. 

  • To update the bulk density of a particular bin, click on "Bins" on the left-hand side of the Dashboard.
    update 22

  • Select Customer or Farm from the dropdown and locate your bin.

    update 23
  • Next, click on "View Bin" to go to the bin page.

    update 24
  • Click on "Edit Bin". This will bring up a screen where a new value can be added for bulk density.
    • Note: The Edit Bin button is also present on ProSense HD pages

      update 25
  • Under "Override Bin Bulk Density" put in the new bulk density amount and click "Submit" to add.

    update 26

Updating the bulk density by overriding it on the Bin Page will just be for this one bin.
