SiloTrack NB-IoT Double Sensor by TrackAlytix

The SiloTrack NB-IoT is a cost-efficient, high-precision silo meter designed to monitor load levels by measuring the deformation of silo supports, which correlates with the load they bear. Using the Nb-IoT network, the SiloTrack sensor transmits real-time silo data, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

Smart Sensing and Battery Life Management: SiloTrack features an intelligent algorithm that adjusts data transmission frequency based on detected load changes, optimizing battery life. It operates on a userreplaceable disposable battery, with a lifespan exceeding five years under standard conditions (four transmissions per day and typical network coverage). Battery consumption increases with more frequent data transmissions, which can be customized per user requirements.

Effortless Installation and Calibration: Installation is simple—each sensor is secured with two screws to opposing support legs of the silo, and calibration does not require emptying the silo. Calibration is managed through the device’s web interface and adjusted after loading the silo with material.

Patented Technology for Enhanced Accuracy: Utilizing patented technology (ES1301859U), the sensor is equipped with dual strain gauges, compensating for environmental factors such as wind or uneven loads, ensuring precise readings regardless of conditions.

Real-Time Monitoring via TrackAlytix Software: The SiloTrack sensor integrates seamlessly with the TrackAlytix platform, providing users with real-time and historical data, customizable dashboards, and graphs. Users can monitor load levels, battery status, temperature, and network connection, as well as configure alerts and notifications for various parameters. Alerts can be sent via email or Telegram when set conditions are met.

Flexible Connectivity Options: SiloTrack is designed for versatility, supporting multiple communication protocols, including NbIoT, CATM-1, Sigfox, LoRa, and Wi-Fi, ensuring compatibility across different environments and applications.

FAQs:

Q: Can I use it on any type of silo?
A: Yes, it only requires that the silo is raised on legs. Since the sensor measures the deformation of the legs, there are no limitations regarding maximum weight.

Q: Can I use it to measure any product in the silo?
A: Absolutely. The sensor does not come into contact with the stored product, nor does it measure any of its properties. If the product can be stored in the silo, you can measure it.

Q: How does calibration work?
A: Once the sensor is installed, it is calibrated through the web interface generated by the device itself. Then, a load is added, and it is recalibrated at that point.

Q: I am a distributor. Can I use SiloTrack to monitor refills for my clients, plan my routes, or reduce seasonal fluctuations in my work?
A: Without a doubt. Contact us, and we are sure to have the solution you need.
