In simple terms, Silo Management is the process of maintaining the large containers called Silos. Varying with the industries, these can contain food grains, chemicals, plastic, wastes, etc. Silo Management is one of the pivotal tasks in Industries like the Waste Management, Agriculture, Polymer, Food Processing, Mining, Chemical Industries to name some of them.
Challenges faced by industries in keeping track of silo container levels
- Manual Methods are ineffective: The manual monitoring of Silo storage levels is laborious. There is a good possibility of human errors which will impact productivity.
- Time-consuming: Manual recording of silo levels consumes a lot of time and this hampers the productivity of the silo systems.
- Cost-ineffective: As there is the possibility of human errors and time constraints, this will increase the costs required to maintain the Silos, thus resulting in low profitability.
- Safety Threats: The human intervention in keeping track of the silo content levels can bring about physical injuries to the labor workforce, thus it is not a good practice to have human intervention in recording silo content levels.
- Lack of Real Time Data: If the Silo storage monitoring is not leveraged with the modern & smart technologies then it will lead to lowering of the quality of the stored products and it will also impact the decision making at various levels of Silo Storage Operations.
We at Vandyam Solutions understand the issues faced in Silo Storage Operations way better and hence we have raised the bar higher by leveraging the Advanced Long Range Connectivity Technology in building Retrofitted Smart Silo Monitoring devices. Our Sensors measure the content levels of the silo, and the sensor data is sent to the cloud storage through a gateway. After the data is stored in the cloud storage, it can be monitored through a dedicated computer or mobile application.
So, do you want to track your Silo Systems efficiently, then get in touch with us today.
