Grain-level monitoring for the people planning the next load. See what remains, spot a low level and know when a reading needs checking.
SiloSentry combines a monitor at the grain store with a customer application for the people running it.
An example product built around Dataplicity.
Spot what needs attention.
A low level and a missing reading call for different decisions. Keep the warning and the connection state visible.
Give support a place to start.
Know the site, the silo and the monitor you’re asking about. The team can investigate the equipment behind that reading.
A useful answer when you open the app.
What’s left? Is it running low? Can I trust this reading?
Follow North Silo at Ashton Mill. Switch between a normal report, a low-level warning, a stale sensor reading and a lost connection to see how the customer’s decision changes.
The last known value stays clearly marked when the monitor stops reporting. The person planning a load can see when they need a fresh measurement.

There’s a whole business behind that reading.
Someone has to build the monitor, get it working at the mill, hand it over and answer the next call.
Meet the small SiloSentry team doing all of it. Follow the same monitor from a question on the bench to an installation and a field fault.
