Continuous Chemical Sensing
Moving Beyond Interval Testing
Current industry standards rely on calendar-based manual probing that can leave grain vulnerable for weeks at a time. GrainGuard is engineered for continuous, real-time headspace scanning, monitoring the invisible air profile of your bins around the clock to catch hidden shifts.
The 12-Day Early Intervention Window
Actionable Warning Windows
In controlled laboratory evaluations, early metabolic indicators were identified up to 12 days before visible damage or adult insect emergence occurred. We are pioneering this vital window of opportunity so producers can aerate, fumigate, or move grain before value is lost.
The New Standard in Grain Security
Phase 1: TRL 4 Closeout
Completed – March 2026Milestone: Laboratory Proof-of-Concept & Chamber Validation
Successfully completed controlled chamber evaluations demonstrating that our adapted multi-channel sensor platform can differentiate between normal ambient baseline air and the active early metabolic signatures of insect respiration and early-stage mold.
Phase 2: TRL 5 Deployment
Active – June 2026Milestone: Real-World Field Pilots
Moving from the laboratory into active agricultural environments. Deploying field-grade sensor hardware and automated aeration system integration at commercial pilot sites—including Riverdale Farms and J-Ray Farms in South Carolina—for a multi-month environmental evaluation.
Phase 3: Data Lock & TRL 6 Planning
Upcoming – Late 2026Milestone: Field Monitoring, ROI Calculation, and Refinement
Gathering field data across a full storage window, including dedicated mycotoxin assays and paired-data reviews, to continuously refine our predictive neural networks and prepare the system for broader commercial scale.
Validated by Science, Built for the Field.
Our technology is currently advancing through rigorous Technology Readiness Level (TRL) phases, with active field pilot deployments and research evaluations designed in coordination with insights from leading agricultural engineers and specialists at Clemson University and the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
Guided by Rigorous Standards
Every milestone, metric, and engineering decision behind GrainGuard is developed and evaluated against the Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) lenses defined by leading experts in agriculture, entomology, and precision engineering.
