How SiloSpi Works

Our one-of-a-kind IoT-enabled sensor is placed at the top of the silo. The patented sensing technology can detect when the sensor is dirty and self-clean to ensure reliable performance in the harsh, dusty environment of a silo. Constant measurements of the feed height in the silo are taken and securely sent to our cloud host, where the data is presented in a user-friendly format accessible from any device, anywhere, allowing users to make informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

SiloSpi uses a time-of-flight laser sensor to determine the distance between itself and the top of the silo contents. Using calibration data obtained over 2 empty/fill cycles, it is then able to work out the tonnage of the contents of the silo.

No. The units send data over the sigfox, cellular or lora networks, meaning there is no top up of sims or Wi-Fi connection needed.

The unit is +/- 3% accurate  on silos up to 40m tall.

The minimal calibration time is two cycles of filling and emptying the silo. This allows us to get a variety of levels to use as calibration points. The more points we get the more accurate the levels will be.

There are 3 options for power – mains, battery and solar.

The lens is cleaned using our patented air jet system. The air supply in mills usually comes from existing compressed air sources and on farms it can be introduced manually by the user via a pump connected to the bottom of the silo.

Yes. There is a subscription to cover the connectivity and maintenance of the system. The amount depends on the application and the frequency of which we monitor the silo. Contact us for more information.

Yes. We can configure your silo monitor to send you a text or an email at a low level point that you choose, which you can change at any time if you wish by contacting Lvlogics support team. We can also include other people in the notification set up to assist with automatic reordering of silo contents.

We send you a link to a web app. This opens up the gauge page on your phone. You can save that link as an icon on your home page so that you will easily be able to access your data at any time.
