Using connected devices to monitor temperature in grain silos is a solution to prevent and reduce the risk of grain warming, proliferation of insects or any kind of moistures. Today, the temperature is registered once-to-twice a month in many grain stores, those stores being themselves located in rural areas.
Developing a connected thermometry device has arisen as the best solution to follow the temperature of the grain with the most accurate data, optimising the use of ventilators and improving the follow up of the temperature as precisely as possible.
A connected sensor for an ongoing monitoring of the temperature
In that perspective, Javelot was founded in 2017. A young French company based in Lille (North of France), Javelot was founded by an engineer in agriculture and a farmer, storing himself grain on a farm. Both founders gave the same statement, regarding the lack of a precise solution to monitor grain temperature during storage.
There are two main factors that can damage grain during storage: humidity and temperature. Considering that humidity should not evolve, once the grain is stored, they decided to focus on the best solution to control temperature as efficiently as possible and finding a technical solution to prevent any risk of loss or damage.
From this statement, the idea was to develop a sensor, able to transmit and record temperature data. To do so, both founders asked an IoT company to work on the project with them to conceptualise and develop the software, in order to transform the project to a concrete solution. After a year and a half of work, to design the device and materialise the technology, Javelot was created. A two-metre long sensor, 100 percent autonomous and capable of working via wireless links to application available on PC and smartphone, was their final creation.
