The Future Grain Elevator: A Case for Data-Driven Automation.

As part of the IDAAS 2026 Seminar Series, CGB Enterprises, Inc. presents “The Future Grain Elevator: A Case for Data-Driven Automation.”

The commercial grain handling industry has traditionally operated with caution — prioritizing reliability and navigating thin margins, legacy infrastructure, and market volatility. However, today’s environment demands greater transparency, efficiency, and real-time insight.

This seminar will explore how emerging technologies — including automation, IoT sensing, machine learning, and cloud-based analytics — are modernizing grain elevators and transforming them into data-driven enterprises. Industry leaders Phil Burbrink and Doug Hasselbring will highlight key areas for technological advancement and discuss how innovation can reduce operational risk, improve asset performance, and strengthen grain quality management.
