February 7, 2024- A new agreement ensures the expansion of SiloInsite to the entire market area of the agricultural Group Danish Agro around the Baltic Sea. The agreement comes as a result of the digital tool's success in the Danish market and an increasing demand from abroad.

Danish Agro introduced SiloInsite to Danish farmers in 2022, and today the solution has established itself in Danish agriculture with 627 installed sensors on 250 farms. After a year on the Danish market, the international market has started to stir, and Danish Agro has therefore signed an international agreement. The agreement commits Danish Agro to reach 1000 installations within a year in the Group's market area.

The first SiloInsite units have already found their way abroad through the Danish Agro Group's subsidiary Vilomix. Here, a customer in Latvia has acquired 28 sensors. The customer started with 14 sensors and subsequently acquired a further 14. In addition, the digital solution is currently being tried in Finland, where the durability of the battery is being tested in the harsh winter weather.

"We are pleased with the reception that SiloInsite has received. Our digital solutions are developed to create value for the farmer and agriculture, and the interest - both Danish and foreign - shows that we have succeeded here. In the new agreement, we have also improved the national support for the installations," says Birgitte Feld Mikkelsen, Digital Lead Smart Farming in Danish Agro.

Danish farmers who have acquired SiloInsite have on average more than five censors on their farms, and each farm has on average more than two installations of the digital monitoring tool.

The Danish Agro Group's primary market area includes Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany.

Facts about SiloInsite
SiloInsite is a digital tool for monitoring silos. Using a sensor, SiloInsite creates a 3D image of the silo's content and provides information about the current amount of feed, temperature and humidity in the silo, while a camera simultaneously captures images of the silo's content.

Data from the sensor and images from the camera can be followed on an app or via computer. Both the sensor and camera are wireless and send data via a mobile network. They are both powered by a battery that is charged by solar cells.

Danish Agro is also looking into the possibility of developing a push notification so that the farmer can order new feed via a swipe on the app connected to SiloInsite and thereby reduce the number of deliveries.
