Partnership combines feed inventory tracking with 24/7 barn monitoring
BinSentry and Distynct have announced a new partnership aimed at helping livestock producers improve farm management through advanced technology. The agreement allows the two companies to work together and offer integrated solutions that provide real-time visibility into feed systems, barns, and supply chains.
The partnership combines BinSentry’s feed inventory management technology with Distynct’s barn monitoring system. Together, these tools give producers access to important data that can support better planning, faster decision-making, and improved operational efficiency.
“BinSentry and Distynct offer complimentary solutions that can help protein producers make the critical leap from outdated manual systems to automated, data-based decision-making and efficiency,” said BinSentry CEO Ben Allen.
He added, “BinSentry will focus on the movement and consumption of feed — the most expensive part of raising animals — while Distynct provides around-the-clock environmental monitoring inside the barn. Working together as Preferred Partners allows animal producers to get the best technology available today from the best providers, knowing that data integration can be managed and trusted.”
BinSentry specializes in AI-powered feed inventory monitoring. Its technology uses optical sensors and advanced software to track feed levels and consumption in real time. The system helps producers and feed mills reduce waste, improve feed management, and strengthen supply chain performance. Data collected from feed bins is displayed through easy-to-use dashboards that can be accessed from almost any device.
Distynct provides smart monitoring systems designed specifically for livestock and poultry barns. The platform continuously tracks important environmental conditions such as temperature, water supply, and power status. By monitoring barns around the clock, the system helps producers respond quickly to potential issues and maintain healthy conditions for animals.
The new collaboration is designed to make it easier for producers to connect both technologies and gain a complete view of farm operations. By bringing feed management and barn monitoring data together, users can better understand how different parts of their operation interact and make more informed decisions.
“Distynct was developed as an open platform to work with other technologies and answer critical questions about conditions inside animal barns, then put that information at producers’ fingertips, anywhere, anytime,” said Distynct founder and CEO BJ Brugman. “This MOU will allow our customers to pair systems from two of the most reliable and trusted names in live animal production for unparalleled, real-time visibility and data-based management from barn to feed bin to feed mill.”
The companies believe the partnership will support the ongoing shift from manual processes to data-driven farming. Modern livestock operations increasingly rely on technology to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance overall management. The combined solution aims to provide reliable information that helps producers operate more efficiently while reducing risks.
