Implementing Advanced Monitoring Systems in Grain Silos

jacwilliams31

Overview:

A major industrial client faced challenges in accurately monitoring grain levels and temperatures in their silos. Outdated systems led to inefficiencies and potential risks.


The Challenge:

The client needed a reliable system for continuous level and temperature measurement, with local and remote data display and logging capabilities.


The Solution:

We implemented a comprehensive monitoring system with advanced sensors and software. Key components included:


  • THERMOPOINT TMH-55D-8 Ex: Precise temperature measurement at multiple points within the silos.

  • THERMOPOINT TMH-55G-8 Ex: Additional temperature measurement, essential for maintaining grain quality.

  • EasyTREK SCD-33J-8 Ex: Accurate level measurement using ultrasonic technology.

  • MultiCONT PRW-2MA-1: Centralized data collection from various sensors.

  • NIPOWER PPK-331-1: Stable power supply to all monitoring equipment.

  • JAD-4520 (ADAM adapter): Facilitated communication between sensors and data processing units.

  • NIVISION software: Provided an intuitive interface for data visualization and analysis.


Results:

The new system significantly improved operational efficiency and accuracy:


  • Efficiency: Reduced downtime and manual checks, increasing productivity.

  • Accuracy: Achieved near-perfect accuracy in measurements, enhancing reliability.

  • Cost Savings: Lowered maintenance and operational costs due to the system's reliability.
