Silo Monitor

Tim Gerželj — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 07:45:10 +0000

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Replacement of outdated electronics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:

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.
