Grain storage farm robot

for cropsmultipurposeautonomous

Overview

The Grain Weevil is an autonomous grain-bin robot designed to level stored grain, remove cliffs, break surface crusts and assist with feeding augers — all from outside the bin so operators avoid confined-space entry. It is built for harsh conditions with durable construction and glove-friendly controls suitable for silo operations.

Controller

Take precise control of the robot from outside the grain bin with an industrial-grade controller. Intuitive, easy-to-master layout with rugged construction and glove-friendly controls for reliable operation in adverse weather.

Battery & Charging

The robot uses a sealed Lithium Titanate (LTO) battery system engineered for durability in strenuous operating conditions. Standard runtime is 1 hour of hard use. Charging options include a standard charger (approx. 30 minutes) and an available Supercharger upgrade (full charge in as little as 15 minutes). Each battery is guaranteed for 15,000 cycles.

Camera & Video

The Grain Weevil streams high-definition, low-latency video to operators outside the silo. The camera dome includes an integrated magnetic mount and offers pan, tilt and zoom capabilities for a full view of the product and surroundings.

Multi-Robot Operation

Run two Grain Weevils from a single controller to double throughput without doubling the headcount. One operator can manage two robots for higher productivity.

Primary Functions

• Grain leveling: move product from peaks and valleys to improve storage uniformity and long-term quality
• Breaking crusts & bridges: break up surface crusts to prevent sump plugging and improve grain health
• Grain unloading assistance: pull down cliffs and assist sweep augers during final unloading

Work Capacity by Bin Size (typical single-robot work time)

48' Bin — Leveling: 8 hours; Surface Aeration: 3 hours 30 min; Crust Breakup: 9 hours
36' Bin — Leveling: 3 hours; Surface Aeration: 2 hours; Crust Breakup: 5 hours 30 mins
32' Bin — Leveling: 1 hour 45 mins; Surface Aeration: 1 hour 15 mins; Crust Breakup: 1 hour 15 mins
24' Bin — Leveling: 45 mins; Surface Aeration: 45 mins; Crust Breakup: 1 hour 15 mins

Standard Robot Package

• 1 x Robot Controller
• 1 x Standard Charger

Optional / Additional Equipment

Optional permanently installed Robot Lift System (drill-driven winch and robot jib crane) to simplify lifting and lowering robots on silos. The lift system is specific to each silo; installation and labor are not included.
