Agriculture must become more productive in order to feed a growing population that reaches 9 billion in 2050. The "Agritechnica" fair in 2017 had the guiding theme "Green Future – Smart Technology". This key note has also been reflected by the technological developments in the area of grain preservation over the last years. The producers present manifold technical solutions for more efficient and resources saving production of the farmers. Behind resources and personnel, the resource energy ranges at third position within the cost structure of agricultural enterprises [1]. The trend of further process automation is unbroken associated with intelligent data management systems. In addition, the farmers are increasingly faced with the requirements for sustainability.
