That’s one of the key insights shared in Milling and Grain this week, where Javelot is featured in the latest issue, pages 70 to 74.
The article looks at data-driven aeration and how it is changing the way grain storage performance is managed.
With Store&save, silo data and outside conditions are continuously analysed to activate aeration at the right time, when the cooling potential is truly optimal.
The objective is simple: preserve grain quality, reduce unnecessary ventilation hours, lower energy costs and give teams a clear, consolidated view of performance across their storage network.
Trials conducted by Arvalis confirm this approach across three consecutive storage seasons: automated control based on temperature difference consistently reaches the target grain temperature with significantly fewer ventilation hours than thermostat-based control. In 2023/2024, for example, it required just 142 hours, compared with 412 hours for thermostat-based control.
This is what data brings to post-harvest operations: better decisions, better timing, and more measurable performance.
Thank you to Milling and Grain for featuring Javelot in this issue.
