Smart Silo Temperature & Humidity MonitoringComplete Warehouse Automation
From dangerous temperature spikes to damaging humidity, keep an eye on everything, moment to moment. Our wireless sensors continuously measure the temperature and humidity inside each silo, and instantly send an alert if levels move outside the safe range, preventing spoilage of grain and other stored products.
Why Choose Smart IoT Silo Monitoring?
With the advancement of technology in the fields of electronics and software, product condition monitoring devices for silos have been developed. These devices not only perform the necessary actions to maintain product quality in an intelligent manner, but also, through a connected platform with devices such as modems, can provide monitoring results over the Internet. This eliminates the need for the user to be physically present at the site, allowing remote monitoring, result analysis, and even the provision of solutions for further improving and optimizing this process based on the collected data over a specific period of time.
The SIMCS system has been developed for monitoring and controlling silo conditions and related parameters. By utilizing multiple sensors, a dual processor, various actuators, and multiple hardware communication protocols, this system can deliver performance based on international standards.
The system operation is described as follows: First, the parameters of temperature, humidity, and grain level are measured by the corresponding sensors, and this information is sent to the central control board. Then, if the system is set to automatic mode, the necessary actions for temperature control and grain movement are performed by the device according to the predefined settings.
If the device is operating in offline mode, the information is not only stored in the device memory but is also displayed and saved through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the related software installed on a smartphone or computer. Additionally, if any configuration changes are required, they can be easily applied through the same software.

Choosing a Silo Level Monitoring System
Selecting the right silo level measurement system starts with understanding the material you store. For animal feed, grains, flour, and other powder and granular materials, 80 GHz radar level sensors are a practical and standard solution. These sensors perform non-contact measurement, can detect material levels through dusty environments, and are not affected by temperature changes or surrounding vapors. For liquids and applications where the delivered quantity needs to be verified by weight, load cell systems directly measure the mass.
The shape and structure of the tank are just as important as the material type. Tall and narrow silos require a focused 4-degree radar beam to prevent false reflections caused by signals hitting the walls. Short and wide tanks and open containers provide simpler measurement conditions. For monitoring grain levels across multiple silos and different structures, using one radar sensor for each silo that sends data to a central dashboard is an effective alternative to manual measurements and climbing ladders.
Regardless of which silo level measurement equipment you choose, the main value lies in continuous and real-time data: automatic refill event recording, low inventory alerts, and consumption trends that transform raw material level data into accurate decisions for restocking. The guide below compares radar, ultrasonic, load cell, and capacitive technologies side by side to help you select the most suitable sensor for your operating conditions.
