Silo spider
Hardware design / Software development
Silo Spider is mounted on top of agricultural silos and measures levels of feed in the silos. Our customer, Radarxense, needed an IoT expert to take this simple concept and make it into a revolutionary solution for the agricultural market through smart design.

THE STORY OF OUR SUCCESS
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.
-
In a business where costs are constant and yields are seasonal, being able to spread orders and outlay is a huge benefit.

HOW GRINN BRINGS THE BENEFIT
Our IoT experience was what brought the customer to Grinn, but we were also able to introduce smart features that took the device from a positive feature to a real benefit. We didn’t just look at the functionality, we considered the design and how we could help clients save costs at all stages of usage.
-
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.
