Steel silo automation includes advanced automation solutions that optimize raw material storage, material flow, and inventory management. Automation enhances operational efficiency, minimizes human intervention, and reduces error rates. With SCADA and PLC systems, all processes can be monitored and controlled in real time.
Incoming raw materials are measured by sensors and weighing systems, and recorded into the SCADA system (with an accuracy of ±0.5%). Material transfer is carried out using pneumatic and mechanical conveying systems. Dust collection systems minimize the environmental impact.
Stock levels are tracked with 0.2% accuracy using level sensors (radar, ultrasonic, or capacitive). Automatic filling and unloading systems optimize warehouse management by preventing product contamination. Silo fill levels are monitored in real time through the SCADA system.
Material flow is automatically controlled through conveyor belts, screw conveyors, and pneumatic transfer systems. Diverter valves and actuators guide raw materials to designated silos, ensuring precise and efficient distribution.
SCADA-based alarm systems detect overflows, blockages, and equipment failures, providing real-time alerts to operators. Thanks to remote access and mobile notifications, operators can instantly intervene in the system when necessary.
