SiloSight

Grain Silo Moisture & Spoilage Hotspot Imaging

Research concept for grain moisture gradients; not spoilage or fire prevention.

Readiness Research concept

A frontier proposal with a validation plan, not an implemented detector.

Evidence Frontier Unvalidated concept

An early research proposal with no capability-specific product validation yet.

Runtime family Not mapped

No browser runtime is assigned to this capability yet.

Why live sensing is unavailable

This is a research concept, not an implemented detector. Show its physics and validation plan without generating synthetic claims.

Intended capability

Research whether the field could support this proposed outcome: 3D map of moisture and dry-matter distribution inside a stored-grain bin, pinpointing wet pockets and self-heating spoilage nuclei weeks before mold, mycotoxin or silo fire, plus a live fill-level readout.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is research concept, evidence is class C, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Solution blueprint

See the environment before installing it.

This exact kit is one of 191 first-class designs. It includes geometry, objects, nodes, wording, scenarios, installation, limitations, and catalog-bound readiness.

Research concept

No rendered revision is available yet.

Bundled recording

A related Agriculture scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

Grain permittivity rises steeply with moisture (dry grain eps_r ~3-4, wet/spoiling pockets trend toward water's eps_r ~80), and settling/caking changes bulk density. These alter both path delay and reflected amplitude through the bin — a physically visible dielectric contrast, not an inference.

02 Shared processing path

CIR sparse recovery of super-resolved multipath delays through the grain column -> RFF/NeRF field reconstruction of eps_r/sigma voxels -> compartment Kalman + CUSUM tracking of each voxel's eps_r drift over days/weeks to localize a growing wet/hot nucleus

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

Own-hardware: ESP32 nodes ringing a test bin filled with grain at controlled moisture gradients, ground-truthed with insertable moisture probes and thermocouples; ESP32-wall dataset to calibrate through-medium CIR delay recovery.

04 Commercial hypothesis

'SiloSight' — insurance-grade spoilage & silo-fire early warning for grain elevators and co-ops; sees inside the pile where thermocouple cables can't.
