The challenge

Monitoring distributed containers
manually costs time,
creates uncertainty and
reacts too late.

For elevated tanks, silos and storage containers, current and reliable information is often lacking in day-to-day operations. Fill levels are estimated or checked on-site, refills are organised reactively rather than proactively, and critical conditions are only noticed when operational pressure has already built up.

No central overview of distributed containers
Unnecessary inspection trips without reliable data
Refill too late – supply security at risk
Risk of empty stock or overflow
No alerting for critical conditions
Insufficient data basis for operational decisions
MOBILE SILO creates a continuous, remotely monitored view of fill level and inventory.
This improves transparency, reduces on-site effort and makes refill and operational processes more plannable – without local IT, without mains power, without a gateway.

Alarm management

React before a critical fill level
becomes a supply problem.

MOBILE SILO supports automatic warnings at critical fill levels. SMS can be triggered directly from the device – independent of cloud or internet. Additionally, e-mail notifications can be used via the dashboard.

📈
Detect critical levels faster
Ober- und Untergrenzen frei konfigurierbar. Alarm bei drohendem overflow oder kritischem Leerstand – bevor operativer Handlungsdruck entsteht. Besonders wichtig for Elevated tank und versorgungsrelevante Anwendungen.

Plan refills more effectively
Instead of reactive inspection trips, supply can be planned on demand. MOBILE SILO provides the data basis for optimised delivery cycles and route planning.
💬
SMS directly from device – independent of cloud
SMS notification is triggered directly from the device – even without internet connection. Additionally e-mail via the dashboard. Multiple recipients with prioritisation configurable.
Technical faults & connection loss
