摘要： A system and method are provided for optimizing the flow of seed along a seed handling path. The system and method include multiple stages at which seeds undergo different processes to prepare the seeds for sale or further handling. The stages may include one or more of Receiving, Husking, Sorting, Drying, Shelling, Bulk Storage, Sizing, Conditioning, Treating, and Packaging. Sensors may be located along the seed handling path for monitoring the seed handling path and the operations and conveyances occurring along the seed handling path at and between different stages. The sensors may provide feedback signals to a controller, which may in turn adjust the operating parameters of various processing devices associated with one or more of the stages in a real-time scenario to optimize the operations and conveyances occurring along the seed handling path.

摘要： A system and method for sorting ear corn are provided. The system may include a transport device for transporting ear corn along a processing path and an ear corn husking stage for removing husks from the ear corn. The system may further include an ear corn sorting stage for sorting the ear corn downstream from the ear corn husking stage. The ear corn sorting stage may include one or more sensor devices for identifying and determining a location of the ear corn having at least one defined characteristic. Further, the ear corn sorting stage may include robotic devices for picking up the identified ear corn and placing the identified ear corn in an alternate location. Thereby, for example, the ear corn may be returned to the husking stage, a flawed portion of the ear corn may be removed, or the ear corn may be disposed of

摘要： An apparatus and method for monitoring drying of an agricultural porous media such as grain and seed, includes deriving moisture content of the porous media using time domain reflectometry and utilizing moisture content to monitor and/or control the drying process. The porous media is positioned around a time domain reflectometry probe. An array of probes can be used to measure moisture in different areas of one batch of porous media or in a plurality of batches of porous media. The derivation of moisture content of the porous media around each probe would allow information to be provided to a dryer controller to alter the drying process if needed.
