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  • Replacement of outdated electronics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.

Key benefits

  • Keep your existing PLC and automation
  • Add remote monitoring without replacing the complete system
  • View all silos from one dashboard
  • Monitor several locations centrally
  • Record inventory automatically
  • Track consumption and filling trends
  • Receive high- and low-level alarms
  • Reduce manual inspections
  • Improve replenishment planning
  • Enable remote diagnostics
  • Expand the system as your installation grows

Bring your silo inventory into one clear overview

Silo Monitor connects accurate weighing, local industrial communication and remote inventory visibility.

Why digitalizing weighing often gets delayed

For many businesses, the weighing process is still partly manual.

Results are written down by hand.
Data stays on the device instead of flowing into the business.
Operators lose time.
Errors happen.
Reporting is harder than it should be.
And when a company wants to improve the process, the project often feels too big, too technical, or too expensive.

Common pain points include:

  • manual entry of weighing results
  • unnecessary operator workload
  • poor traceability
  • disconnected weighing points
  • difficult rollout across multiple sites
  • expensive integration projects
  • pressure to replace scales that still work perfectly well

A faster and more practical way to digitalize

Scale Monitor + Neutron provide a simple path from traditional weighing to a connected digital workflow.

You keep the equipment you already use.
You avoid unnecessary replacement cost.
You reduce implementation complexity.
You get faster access to useful data.
And you make the weighing process easier to manage, expand, and support.

This combination is built for companies that want results, not another long IT project.

What the customer gains
