1. A granular product detection system, comprising:
a plurality of sensors or sensor arrays, wherein each sensor or sensor array of the plurality of sensors or sensor arrays is configured to couple to a respective tank of an air cart or a respective metering system associated with each respective tank, wherein each sensor or sensor array is configured to automatically detect at least a respective product type of a granular product within the respective tank; and
a controller coupled to the plurality of sensors or sensor arrays and configured to receive feedback from the the plurality of sensors or sensor arrays to automatically determine a control parameter related to a conveyance of one or more granular products based at least on the respective product types of the one or more granular products.
