Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) is a fundamental concept in grain storage management, particularly when it comes to processes such as drying, cooling, and conditioning to achieve the optimal market value. The OPI EMC Calculator assists in determining the EMC of grain, facilitating the optimization of moisture content in stored grain. By inputting key parameters, users can calculate whether fans should be turned on or off to condition the grain effectively. This tool derives its calculations from ASABE standards, though OPI customers have access to more precise curves via the OPI Blue platform. The calculator helps in establishing an efficient conditioning program, potentially encompassing early harvesting at higher moisture contents and moisture rehydration under favorable climatic conditions, all aimed at preserving and enhancing grain quality. The OPI EMC Calculator is part of OPI’s suite of solutions, including OPI Blue for comprehensive moisture monitoring and control using OPI moisture cables, enabling more effective grain management.

OPI BLUE Seed is an advanced online grain management tool designed to improve the efficiency of farm and commercial operations in handling stored commodities. This solution optimizes the grain drying and conditioning processes by providing recommendations on the optimal times to operate systems. Throughout the drying and conditioning cycle, OPI BLUE Seed keeps users informed of their grain's status, ensuring comprehensive monitoring. Additionally, it serves as a detailed record-keeping system for storage operations, aiding in maximizing asset value and minimizing operational costs. By leveraging real-time data, OPI BLUE Seed aids in making informed grain marketing decisions, enhancing overall profitability and storage efficiency.

The OPI BLUE Lite Handheld Grain Monitor is an advanced, rechargeable device designed to assist with grain management by providing reliable data on grain temperature, moisture, and CO2 levels. Utilizing Bluetooth technology, it communicates with an iOS or Android app, allowing users to manually collect and view data on their mobile devices. When a cellular connection is established, this data is transmitted to ManageGrain.com for cloud storage and historical analysis. The device supports both 2-wire and 3-wire cable configurations and offers customizable smart alerts and thresholds through the OPI BLUE Cloud Platform. Its features make it suitable for small to medium-sized grain bins, providing an affordable and easy-to-use solution for maintaining grain quality and preventing spoilage. A yearly subscription of $100 enables users to track data over time, set up alerts for temperature changes, and receive actionable advice for grain conditioning and fan recommendations.

OPI BLUE™ is a comprehensive wireless grain management system designed to offer automated monitoring and control of grain storage conditions. Leveraging a digital platform pioneered by OPI, it ensures accurate, reliable, and scalable grain management. The system delivers in-bin grain data directly to your mobile or desktop devices, providing continuous 24/7 monitoring and alerts. Key features include temperature monitoring to detect hot spots and prevent spoilage, level sensors for tracking grain inventory, ambient conditions monitoring via weather station integration, and moisture control by measuring grain moisture content throughout the bin. Automated fan control optimizes grain quality while reducing run-time and preventing shrinkage. Additionally, a user-friendly dashboard facilitates quick data interpretation, and CO2 sensors provide early detection of mold and insect infestation. OPI BLUE empowers users to manage their grain storage with greater precision and efficiency.
