Silo Monitor
Your silos. One clear overview.
Keep your existing PLC, HMI or SCADA system in control of local processes while Scale Monitor gives you a clear overview of silo inventory from anywhere.
Neutron handles weighing and local integration. Scale Monitor adds dashboards, inventory history, alarms, diagnostics and secure remote access.
Measure locally. Monitor remotely. Keep every silo under control.
Keep local control. Add remote visibility.
Silo Monitor complements your existing automation system instead of replacing it.
Your PLC can continue controlling:
- Silo filling and discharge
- Conveying
- Valves and motors
- Interlocks and safety logic
At the same time, Scale Monitor provides:
- Live silo inventory
- Historical data
- High- and low-level alarms
- Remote monitoring
- Multi-site dashboards
- Remote diagnostics
Local communication and cloud monitoring can operate simultaneously.
Modernize new or existing installations
Silo Monitor can be used for new silo projects or added to existing installations.
Neutron can connect to newly installed load cells or, where technically compatible, to load cells already in use.
It is suitable for:
- New silo weighing systems
- Modernization projects
- Replacement of outdated electronics
- Adding cloud monitoring
- Centralizing several silos or locations
- Remote service access
This allows you to modernize gradually without replacing the complete control system.
Monitor up to four silos with one Neutron
A single Neutron can support up to four independent weighing channels.
Each silo can have its own:
- Calibration
- Current mass
- Recording interval
- Alarm limits
- Hysteresis
- Historical graph
- User permissions
This reduces hardware requirements and simplifies multi-silo installations.
All your silos in one browser view
Scale Monitor turns individual weighing values into one clear inventory dashboard.
Authorized users can view:
- Current silo inventory
- Historical consumption
- Filling and discharge trends
- Alarm status
- Multiple silos and locations
Scale Monitor works in a web browser on desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones and large monitoring displays.
No dedicated workstation or local software installation is required.
Automatic inventory history
Scale Monitor can record silo mass automatically at configurable intervals and display the results as a historical graph.
Use inventory history to identify:
- Material consumption
- Filling cycles
- Discharge events
- Unusual changes
- Replenishment needs
- Long-term trends
Historical data helps purchasing and production teams plan using actual consumption instead of estimates.
Stable and actionable alarms
Set individual upper and lower limits for every silo.
Scale Monitor continuously checks the measured value and can notify users when inventory moves outside the permitted range.
Typical alarms include:
- High-level or overfill warning
- Low-level or replenishment warning
- Central dashboard status
- Email, SMS or dashboard notifications
Adjustable hysteresis prevents repeated alarms when the measured value fluctuates near a limit.
Choose the right Neutron
Neutron NS
A compact, displayless weighing unit for control cabinets, OEM systems and automated installations.
Best suited for:
- PLC, HMI or SCADA integration
- Remote operation
- Multi-silo installations
- Projects without a local display
Neutron NT
A weighing terminal with an integrated 7-inch touchscreen.
Best suited for:
- Installations requiring a local display
- Operator-controlled processes
- Local setup and diagnostics
- Combined local and remote operation
Both versions can communicate with local systems and Scale Monitor simultaneously.
Flexible industrial communication
Depending on the selected configuration, Neutron supports:
- Modbus RTU
- Modbus TCP
- RS-232
- RS-485
- TCP/IP
- WebSocket
- MQTT and MQTTS
- Ethernet
- Wi-Fi
- Six digital inputs
- Six digital outputs
For example, a PLC can read the weight through Modbus TCP while Scale Monitor receives the same data for dashboards, alarms and history.
One system for every role
Operators can check inventory and alarms without visiting every silo.
Purchasing teams can plan replenishment using real consumption data.
Production teams can confirm material availability and review usage trends.
Service teams can check weighing status and diagnostics remotely.
Management can monitor several silos and locations from one overview.
Scale dealers and integrators can offer modern silo monitoring without developing their own cloud platform.
