Real-Time Data & Cloud Platform
Instantaneous Decision-Making
Transform your decisions from delayed to instantaneous. Within minutes of a scan, your data is processed and available on our secure, intuitive cloud platform. You can access up-to-the-minute stockpile volumes and calculate tonnage using custom bulk densities for different materials.
Universal Accessibility
Our platform is accessible from any device: desktop, tablet, or smartphone. This empowers your team to have a real-time pulse on the business, whether they are on-site or a thousand miles away.
Historical Tracking & Reporting
Unlocking Operational Insights
The Hyperion platform securely stores all your historical scan data. This allows you to monitor inventory levels over time with a few clicks. You can precisely track consumption rates, identify seasonal trends, and validate inbound and outbound material flows.
Simplified Compliance
This data is invaluable for demand forecasting and operational planning. It also dramatically simplifies the process of audits and financial reporting, providing verifiable, timestamped data to satisfy accountants, lenders, and insurers.
Material-Specific Insights
Granular Inventory Control
Our platform makes it easy to manage and segregate different types of materials across your entire site. You can create digital boundaries to track specific grades of grain, different fertilizer blends, or various feed types as individual piles.
Ensuring Accountability
For co-ops, this means you can accurately track and report on grain owned by different farmers. The system provides individual data for each pile, preventing commingling of assets and ensuring precise accounting and control over your entire inventory.

The High Stakes of Grain Stockpile Inventory Monitoring
Managing vast quantities of bulk agricultural materials is a high-stakes endeavor. Without accurate Grain Stockpile Inventory Monitoring, your operation is exposed to unnecessary financial risk, operational bottlenecks, and safety hazards.
The Domino Effect of Inaccurate Estimates
The Cost of Uncertainty
Common inventory methods like visual checks and walking wheels are unreliable. They fail to account for uneven pile shapes and compaction, leading to critical business vulnerabilities. An inaccurate count can trigger a costly chain reaction, from overselling what you don't have to missing key market opportunities.
Impact on Supply Chain
This uncertainty creates a bullwhip effect in your supply chain, causing logistical chaos, straining supplier relationships, and eroding customer trust. Every decision is built on a foundation of guesswork.
Pervasive Safety Risks & Escalating Labor Costs
An Unacceptable Danger
The act of manually measuring a stockpile is inherently dangerous. It requires personnel to climb unstable surfaces, exposing them to severe risks of slips, falls, and even engulfment. This practice carries significant liability and can lead to higher insurance premiums and potential compliance issues.
The Hidden Financial Toll
The labor cost for these risky checks is substantial. Hours spent on manual measurements are hours lost from more productive activities. It's a recurring expense that yields low-quality data and compromises the safety of your team.
The Hidden Costs of Spoilage and Quality Loss
Protecting Your Grade
An accurate 3D model, updated regularly, reveals changes in the pile's shape that indicate underlying problems. By relying on outdated methods, you allow a percentage of your asset to be lost. This isn't just a loss of volume; it's a loss of grade, resulting in financial penalties.
Crippling Logistical and Transport Inefficiency
Guesswork in Transportation
Efficient logistics depend on accurate data. When you don't know your exact tonnage, planning becomes a nightmare. Trucks may be dispatched under-loaded, wasting fuel and time, or overloaded, risking costly fines. Scheduling rail cars or barges becomes a high-risk gamble.
