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, navigate to the bin page and click on More Actions or the 3 dots in the top right of the page, then select "Bin Settings"


    This will open up a pop-up window with some Bin Details. You can edit the name of the bin, the manufacturer capacity of the bin and Override the Bulk Density of the bin. 

  • Under "Override Bin Bulk Density" put in the new bulk density amount or use the arrow keys to change the bulk density and click "Submit" to update.

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