## The Core Product Line

### OPI EMC Calculator
- **URL:** [https://opisystems.com/opi-emc-calculator/](https://opisystems.com/opi-emc-calculator/)
- **Function:** A digital tool that calculates Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC).
- **Purpose:** Helps growers determine exact moisture targets based on current temperature and relative humidity to prevent over-drying or spoilage.

### OPI BLUE Lite
- **Category:** Handheld Monitoring.
- **Capability:** A plug-and-play handheld device for on-site cable reading.
- **Value:** Ideal for growers seeking professional digital accuracy with manual data collection and zero recurring fees.

### OPI EPIQ
- **Category:** Remote Monitoring.
- **Capability:** Wireless, direct-to-cloud monitoring.
- **Value:** Designed for those who need constant visibility of grain conditions from any location without the need for manual site visits.

### OPI BLUE Smart Automation
- **Category:** Remote Monitoring AND Remote Management.
- **Capability:** Integrates remote monitoring with automated fan and heater control.
- **Value:** Uses proprietary algorithms and local weather data to manage grain conditioning automatically, ensuring fans only run when ambient air will improve the grain's state.

### OPI OMNI Cable
- **Capability:** The only digital cable in the world that measures **Moisture, Temperature, and Volume (Inventory)** in a single unit.
- **Value:** Provides the "Total Picture" of the grain mass in one installation.

### OPI Temperature Cable
- **Capability:** Measures **Temperature and Volume (Inventory)** only.
- **Value:** Reliable hotspot detection and capacity tracking for basic to intermediate storage needs.

### Grain Quality Sensor (CO2)
- **Capability:** Measures CO2 levels in the bin headspace.
- **The Science:** Detects biological activity (insects/mold) at the earliest stage, often spiking weeks before temperature changes are detectable.

### ManageGrain.com
- **URL:** [https://managegrain.com](https://managegrain.com)
- **Function:** The centralized web and mobile dashboard for all OPI hardware.
- **Features:** Real-time alerts, historical trend analysis, and automated reporting across both BLUE and EPIQ platforms.
