Solutions

Our Solutions Can Be Found Around the World

By uniting the latest in process control technology with leading-edge hardware and a customer-focused approach, we are able to provide knowledge-based creative solutions for a wide variety of applications.

LV-GTI (Grain Terminal Interface)

The proven control solution for Inland and Port terminals, our Grain Terminal Interface [GTI] Package provides the medium through which an Operator controls their facility. The LV-GTI software has been developed from an Operator's perspective. Our strength lies in the fact that we know the equipment and understand what it must do to assist the Operator in running their facility as efficiently as possible on a day-to-day basis.

Receiving, Transfer and Shipping functions can all be controlled from the Operator Workstations. Our custom graphical interface provides Operators with a working "flow diagram" of their facility, complete with individual equipment status and bin level information. Safety interlocks and integrated digital hazard monitoring are included as standard with this package. Real-time monitoring of the major equipment allows the system to achieve its full potential by increasing plant efficiency and reducing shipping times. Available features include:

Integrated Bulk weigher Control
Inventory Tracking
Full Reporting Package
Sampler Integration
Discrete and/or Digital Hazard Monitoring Integration
Truck Scale Integration
Loadout Scale Integration
Grain Dryer Interfaces
Rail Car RFID Reader Systems c/w Railcar Inventory Software
Accounting System Interfaces (SAP/Agrosoft/Custom)
Man-less Receiving and Loadout Truck Kiosk Systems
Electronic Bin Board

LV-Feed (Feed Batching Software)

LV-Feed has been developed by industry leaders who appreciate the challenges associated with daily feed production and understand the importance of accurate record keeping.

The realistic and easy to understand graphics provide clear and concise equipment status and process information to the operator at all times. The Manual Backup panel ensures maximum reliability.

LV-Feed can be configured to work with many old and new mill system types (MFP, SFM, Laden, Sudenga, Disk Mills, AGI) and will support up to 40 mains and micros. A series of options are available including:

Destination Output
Demand Batching
Phase Feeding
Enhanced Reporting
Grain Handling Module
In-Barn Feed Distribution Module

LV-Fert (Fertilizer Blending)

A control solution for many different types of fertilizer systems. From vertical and drum blenders, to volumetric, declining weight and tower systems the software can handle any system configuration. Software features include:

Accounting Interface
Fully integrated with Agre (Tronia) including Blended and straight product loadout jobs.

Maintenance Module
Tracks and records the run-time of each piece of equipment. Allows the operator to set maintenance schedules for each piece of equipment and have an alert pop up on the screen when maintenance is due. Managers can generate a series of reports to determine what maintenance has been complete and what is outstanding.

Compartment Loading
Allows operator to specify the number of truck Compartments, the amount of product to place into each compartment, and accurately load the compartments with the desired weight.

Custom Loadout Ticket
Logos, Data layout will be customized for your site
