Illustrative scenario
Silo level early warning at the reorder threshold
Illustrative scenario — representative of common industrial IoT applications

Non-contact radar level, continuous, with a low-level alert before the reorder deadline.

How it went.
Every study on this site runs the same four beats, in the same order.
01
Alert
Someone is still climbing the silo to check. The reading is a guess, it is taken once a shift, and it costs somebody a ladder.
02
Cost
0 silo climbs — Replaces the manual level check with a continuous reading.
03
Fix
Non-contact radar level sensor on each silo · Continuous level trending with a reorder threshold · Low-level alerting to purchasing and production
04
Restored
A live number and an alert three days before empty

The problem
Someone is still climbing the silo to check. The reading is a guess, it is taken once a shift, and it costs somebody a ladder.
What would be installed
- Non-contact radar level sensor on each silo
- Continuous level trending with a reorder threshold
- Low-level alerting to purchasing and production
What changes
Before — A ladder, a torch and a guess After — A live number and an alert three days before empty
The number
0 silo climbs — Replaces the manual level check with a continuous reading. Illustrative scenario, not a client result. Figure is representative, not measured. [TOM-REVIEW]
