How does the HAYTECH system work

The HAYTECH system offers a smart, reliable way to monitor hay temperature and ensure its safety. Its innovative design integrates wireless technology with a user-friendly app to provide real-time insights into hay storage conditions. By keeping hay at the right temperature, the system prevents spoilage, fire risks, and financial loss, offering peace of mind to farmers and livestock owners.

The HAYTECH probes measure the hay temperature, and you can view the temperature status on the Quanturi.app monitoring application. This mobile and desktop-friendly app allows you to stay informed about the condition of your hay at all times. In case of any overheating, the system promptly sends SMS warning and alert messages directly to your mobile phone, ensuring timely intervention and reducing risks.

Install in 3 easy steps

1. Install the system

Follow the simple steps to login to your online service account and plug in the base station.

2. Place your probes

Place the wireless probes in the bales you want to monitor.

3. Don't worry!

That's it. You can check on your hay whenever you want from your phone, tablet or computer. If temperatures start rising, you will receive an SMS alert.

The HAYTECH probes

Each HAYTECH probe is a precision instrument that measures hay temperature hourly to detect any early signs of overheating. The data collected by the probes is transmitted to a base station unit, strategically placed inside or near the hay storage. This base station gathers the measurement data from all connected probes and sends it wirelessly to the cloud server.

The base station acts as the system’s communication hub. It forwards the data securely to the Quanturi.app server, where it is analyzed and displayed in an easy-to-read format. If any temperature exceeds safety thresholds, the server triggers warning and alert messages to your phone and email, allowing you to respond promptly. The application also allows you to monitor quality loss caused by overheating, providing valuable insights to help optimize feeding practices.

How many probes are needed?

For maximum safety, it’s recommended to place one probe in each bale. This provides comprehensive monitoring and the highest level of situational awareness. However, even monitoring a portion of the haystack offers significant advantages over traditional manual temperature sampling. By increasing the number of sensors, you enhance your ability to detect overheating or spontaneous combustion within the stack.

The mobile base station

The HAYTECH mobile base station simplifies the process of temperature monitoring by integrating an advanced SIM card for seamless data transmission. This base station collects readings from all connected probes, processes the information, and transmits it to the cloud-based Quanturi.app platform.

Pre-programmed by our team for quick activation, the included SIM card supports both 2G and 4G networks, ensuring dependable performance even in remote or low-connectivity areas. This flexibility makes the HAYTECH system an ideal solution for a wide range of farming operations.

For properties with multiple hay storage areas, a Repeater can be added to cover a second storage location, ensuring comprehensive monitoring across your entire operation.
