Silo Spider

The Netherlands

Wireless device for measuring silo level without the need to make holes. The simple design allows for easy assembly and does not require adaptation to the silo. The product is equipped with a solar panel, which greatly extends its lifespan. Equipped with the most modern 60 GHz radar chip with a band of up to 7 GHz, it provides fantastic measurement accuracy up to 2 mm at distances even up to 15 meters. The collected data is sent to a Cloud, where you can see the state of each silo, as well as the prediction of when it will be empty.

01

Device

In a business where costs are constant and yields are seasonal, being able to spread orders and outlay is a huge benefit. Feed level data is sent to the cloud, which required the proper software development and hardware design to be managed by Grinn engineers. We managed to couple the latest radar technology with high quality IoT solutions to help farmers and suppliers better monitor feed levels and maintain orders as required.

Result

The product is easy to assemble and does not require any adaptation of the silo, meaning there are no additional outlay for fitting, and the solar panel power source and weather resistance to the point of indestructibility keep running costs at a neutral level.
