OAKWOOD, GA. — Wayne-Sanderson Farms is partnering with ag solutions company BinSentry to enhance the poultry processor’s animal feed supply chain throughout its operations.

Through their agreement, Wayne-Sanderson will deploy BinSentry’s ProSense Feed sensors on feed bins next to poultry houses across all of its operations. The sensors track feed inventory so managers can address potential supply chain issues more quickly than manual processes.

Wayne-Sanderson said this partnership reflects its commitment to supporting family farmers while promoting animal welfare, sustainability and workplace safety.

“Over the past two years, we have been working diligently to apply new technology solutions to improve the management of our animal feed supply chain, which represents our largest operating expense,” said Kevin McDaniel, chief executive officer of Wayne-Sanderson Farms. “The BinSentry platform is a true win-win solution that aligns with our goals by improving supply chain management, replacing manual processes and allowing us to focus on feeding our chickens high-quality feed to care for them and produce the best food for our customers.”

ProSense Feed sensors provide a 3-D picture of what’s inside the feed bins. One benefit of this technology includes risk minimization by eliminating the need for workers to climb ladders for manual inventory checks. Since ProSense Feed utilizes software that analyzes sensor data and a mobile dashboard, the technology allows producers to manage feed in real time.

“Wayne-Sanderson Farms is a leader in the application of technologies that create value at scale, and we truly appreciate our partnership with them,” said Ben Allen, CEO of BinSentry. “Our technology fully aligns with their commitment to continuously improve their operations for the benefit of their farm partners, customers and employees.”

Wayne-Sanderson Farms currently consists of over 2,000 farm partners and 26,000 employees at 23 processing facilities in the Unites States.
