Sense Grain
AI-powered grain quality, safety and inventory assurance
Transforming conventional grain warehouses into transparent, finance-ready and intelligently managed assets. Protect quality, verify quantity, prove condition.
The Problem
Grain Storage Failure Is a Quantified Economic Loss
Periodic manual inspection misses hidden heating, moisture pockets and infestation risk — and banks and insurers lack reliable evidence of quantity, quality and warehouse condition.

The Platform
Continuously Answering Four Questions
How much grain is stored?
Batch inventory, location and movement history for every lot.
What condition is it in?
Temperature, moisture, gas and quality indicators — continuously.
What risk is emerging?
Spoilage, heating, mould, infestation and safety anomalies, predicted early.
What action is required?
Inspection, aeration, drying, fumigation or dispatch priority — recommended per batch.
Output: a trusted digital record of quantity, quality and condition for every warehouse asset.
How It Works
Built for Retrofit Deployment
Designed for existing warehouses, silos and mills — with limited connectivity, low-cost sensors, local languages and existing grain-storage workflows in mind.
Step 1
Sense
Wireless temperature, moisture, CO₂/gas and equipment sensors
Step 2
Ingest
Gateway with LoRa/GSM/Wi-Fi, offline buffer and cloud sync
Step 3
Predict
Anomaly detection, spoilage risk and batch quality scoring
Step 4
Act
SMS, WhatsApp and email alerts with corrective-action recommendations
Step 5
Verify
Audit trail for warehouse operators, banks and insurers
Who It Serves
One Platform, Multiple Stakeholders
Warehouse operators
Reduce spoilage, improve safety, prove service quality and lower inspection burden.
Mills & traders
Protect raw-material quality, plan dispatch, and reduce claims and disputes.
Government storage
Improve visibility over reserves, risk hotspots and warehouse performance.
Banks & insurers
Receive trusted condition evidence for commodity finance and risk underwriting.
A core differentiator: assurance workflows designed for Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) ecosystems — giving banks and insurers trusted, continuous evidence behind commodity finance.
Pilot Program — Launching 2026
We're Selecting 3–5 Pilot Facilities in Pakistan
The first deployment focuses on one commodity — wheat or rice — across a small number of commercial storage facilities. Pilot partners get early access to the platform, a full sensor installation, and documented ROI evidence for their own operations.
- Temperature, humidity/moisture and CO₂/gas sensors installed at your site
- Dashboard with batch records, alerts, risk scores and action logs
- Works in low-connectivity sites via GSM/LoRa with offline buffering
- Jointly measured results: warning lead time, losses avoided, inspection time saved
Who should apply
- Wheat or rice storage facilities — commercial warehouses, silo operators, flour and rice mills with decision-maker access.
- Strategic partners — silo builders, agri-equipment distributors, banks, insurers and EWR stakeholders.
- Portfolio owners — mill groups, traders and agencies managing grain across multiple locations.
Product assumptions are being validated during MVP pilots. Sign up to create your account — your dashboard is ready today, and sensors arrive with the pilot rollout.
