Tech Tip --------------------

View, track & report material inventory levels from anywhere, anytime.

During these times of social distancing and working from home, it might be a little more difficult to continuously monitor your silo levels and to provide that data to others that may require it. SiloTrackTM CLOUD with Monitor's continuous level sensors can help.

Material inventory levels at your fingertips...anytime from anywhere!
SiloTrackTM CLOUD is a web-based application that allows users to securely monitor current vessel levels, receive notifications, access/create reports and more at any location (even your home office), anytime, using any device with an Internet connection. It truly delivers an intuitive and flexible interface for the Monitor SiloPatrol® or RadarRightTM continuous level sensors* to provide current data and optimize inventory management of stored materials.
For example, a grain elevator company incorporated RadarRight level sensors and SiloTrack Cloud to keep up with the dynamic situation of their receiver bins, especially during peak periods. In addition, the employees were very busy with multiple tasks and at different locations which made it difficult for them to continuously watch over the receiver bin levels. With the SiloTrack Cloud web-based app they were now able to view current silo levels and receive level alerts on their smartphones from wherever they were at anytime.
 
* SiloTrack Cloud can work with pre-existing SiloPatrol or RadarRight units. Please confirm with our staff that your SiloPatrol or RadarRight units are compatible. Some units may need an updated module and some older units may not be compatible.

What are the Benefits of Remote Inventory Management with SiloTrack Cloud?

> Securely receive level measurements especially during critical, dynamic storage situations (such as in the “wet bins” of grain elevators during peak times).  
> Collect data for resource planning, such as reorder points.
> Easily configure, save and distribute reports to other departments, such as accounting and procurement.
> Prevent unnecessary “downtimes” and material shortages.
> Minimize frequency of deliveries & transportation costs.
> Eliminate costly material return fees.
> Realize volume discounts by utilizing available storage capacity.
> Utilize any existing device (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Phone).
> Select from flexible communication options (Ethernet/Cellular).
> Benefit from the latest automation and IIoT solution for material inventory management. An innovative Remote Managed Inventory / Vendor Managed Inventory (RMI / VMI) solution.
