Two years ago, CMC was ac- quired by AGI, a leading manufacturer of seed, fertilizer, grain, feed and food handling, storage, and conditioning equipment. With manufactur- ing facilities in Canada, USA, Italy, Brazil and In- dia, AGI connects its divisions and products to deliver a world-class solution to grain, feed, and milling facilities around the world. AGI CMC partners with integrators and facility managers to provide an operation-wide digital monitoring system for all sizes of facilities, from small country elevators to major export termi- nals. They not only provide industry-leading hazard monitoring and grain management sys- tems, but also site audits, inspections, and train- ing as part of their unique RoadMap To HazMon Safety™ program.

A major benefit of the IS network is that plant level operatives can perform basic maintenance on the system without the need for specialized skills or tools, which in turn greatly reduces the cost of ownership of the CMC monitoring solution. The CMC network seamlessly integrates with your material handling equipment such as bucket elevators and convey- WS2-HM Webserver Controller – ideal solution to integrate into existing plant automation
