Ag-IQ and OPI

The Ag-IQ has supplied to the Australian almond industry over 450 OPI cables to monitor the storage of almond hulls to monitor their temperature to help warn in advance of an impending almond hull fire. For this application the OPI Blue solution was used to send data to the cloud and if the temperature rises above a set point warning SMS and email messages are sent.

Ag-IQ has also supplied, installed and monitored several OPI Blue systems for grain storage and grain temperature and moisture control.
