Understanding the technology behind silos is not an easy task, especially with the rapid evolution they have undergone. With the arrival of “connected agriculture”, professionals in the agricultural sector can now work under more optimal conditions.<\/p>\n\n

Among the various solutions available, connected silos provide multiple advantages for stock management. They incorporate technologies that automatically connect them, allowing for real-time monitoring of the fill level and better forecasting of replenishments.<\/p>\n\n\n

Connected silos, what are they?<\/h2>\n

The technology implemented in silos is directly related to the Internet of Things (IoT). You have probably already used a device with this technology, such as smartwatches, connected speakers, among others.<\/p>\n\n

The characteristics of an IoT system include:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • A connected object<\/li>\n
  • A wireless communication network<\/li>\n
  • A platform where data is collected<\/li>\n
  • An application from which it can be controlled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    In addition to a power source that ensures its operation, the key element is the sensor, which allows data collection and real-time information transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Sensors as technology in silos<\/h2>\n

    Sensors are the key to the technology in silos, as they turn these storage containers into connected objects. They collect data, receive commands from users, and optimize stock management.<\/p>\n\n

    Installation of sensors<\/h3>\n

    Sensors contain a tension meter and electronics that allow for analog-to-digital conversion control. These devices are electrically powered, and their communication system is integrated into the structure.<\/p>\n\n

    Their installation is fast and easy: in about 15 minutes, the sensor can be placed at the base of the silo. Different sensor technologies, such as probes, radar, or scales, allow for monitoring the fill level and internal conditions of the silo.<\/p>\n\n

    Functions of the sensor: collect, process, and communicate data<\/h3>\n

    Sensors transform physical data into digital for analysis and control. Thanks to their connectivity, they can send real-time information and receive commands from mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n

    Some sensors require a wired power connection, while others are completely autonomous and work with a battery designed to last between 5 and 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Features offered by the sensor<\/h2>\n

    Connected sensors allow for checking the silo fill level at any time. Many silo control applications include email alert systems to notify of any unexpected events.<\/p>\n\n

    Automation of deliveries<\/h3>\n

    Technology in silos allows for the automation of production and delivery processes. For example, it helps predict the amount of grain needed in the coming days, optimizing stock management.<\/p>\n\n

    Sensors can integrate with various applications to accurately measure stock levels, improve delivery times, and set optimized schedules.<\/p>\n\n

    Thanks to this technology, farmers can reduce the time spent on logistics and focus on other tasks. Additionally, its connectivity allows for remote monitoring and control without the need for physical presence.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Digitplan technology<\/h2>\n

    At MCSystems, we believe that silo technology makes the work of professionals in the sector easier. That’s why we offer the Digitplan<\/strong> web platform, which provides access to all the information about each user’s facilities, improving the control of storage systems.<\/p>\n\n

    With Digitplan, users can graphically visualize the status of their silos, access reading and consumption history, and receive alerts when the sensor detects critical states inside the silo.<\/p>\n\n
