BinSentry will display various Empty Dates based on either Barn or Bin Consumption
Depending on your physical barn set up you may see different empty dates on individual bins versus their corresponding barn.
In the below example, Bin 2A is half full and Bin 2B is near empty. The empty date of the Barn shows 1.5 days and will take in to account previous consumption on both 2A and 2B. Alternatively empty date on Bin 2A show 2.1 days and will only take in to account its own consumption.
The Barn Page below is the same example as above. The empty date of the barn (red) shows 1.5 days, because it takes in to account the previous consumption on Bin 2B, despite that bin being empty. The current feed in Bin 1A without taking into account Bin 2B would last 2.1 days. When bins are physically in tandem at a site, the Barn Empty Dates will always be more accurate.
Note: After a refill, the empty dates on both Bins and Barns will need 1-3 readings to recalibrate as it detects the consumption or if slides are shut.
