Feed Team
Ensure every feeder has logged into FeedComp at least once and confirmed their 6-digit PIN.
We recommend having your feed team scheduled and onsite for your first feeding with FeedComp so they can learn the new workflow and ask their install tech questions.
Ensure feeders know the device login if one is required.
💡TIP: Leave a note in the tractor cab with FeedComp login details so feeders can find them quickly.
Devices
Make sure that each device is not set to lock. See Device SettingsDevice Settings to learn more about keeping devices unlocked during feeding.
Confirm each device is 100% charged before feeding.
Confirm that the only Bluetooth connection is to the scale. Disconnect any other devices.
Android Permissions: Confirm FeedComp location permission is set to Allow only while using the app with Use precise location enabled, and Remove permissions if app is unused" toggled OFF.
Verify the device is refreshing with PULSE and feed data is current.
Confirm no other apps are running on the device.
Scale Indicator
Test the Bluetooth connection between the device and the scale.
Confirm the feeder knows how to manually zero out the scale.
