Level Measurement for Stored Grains in Cereal Production
Accurately measure raw grain inventories to ensure continuous cereal production and precise cost calculations.
Reliable Inventory Monitoring with Radar and Point Level Technologies
Grains (wheat, corn, rice etc.) arrive at the cereal production plant and are stored in silos before being further processed. The grains are stored in large silos, making it difficult to accurately measure the inventory available to ensure continuous supply for the cereal production process. Knowing the exact amount of grain entering and exiting the silos is also important for correctly calculating material costs to meet quarterly and annual financial reporting requirements.
