PEACE OF MIND

Since we started using iSilo 3D, we no longer have to estimate how full our silos are. We can see it in 3D at any time. This gives us more planning security and peace of mind.

Your one-stop-shop for silo inventory

Accurate 3D bulk material inventory in real-time

Eliminate delayed or inaccurate inventory informations and make better informed decisions.

Buffer zone warning & feeder control

At all times, your PLC and SCADA system has correct detailed inventory information, incl. warnings and alarms.

Avoid discharge feed variation

Define individual material zones. Monitor your draw- and feed-points.

Material behavior monitoring

You will be surprised how your material behaves in the silo. See & automatically detect ratholes, dump cones, material caking on silo walls, …

Trusted Measurement, Reporting and Historical analysis

Play it safe: Receive reliable measurements directly from our tamper-proof solution sent to your business tools. These are generally accepted by auditors as the results are accurate and do not rely on any person taking the measurement.

EASY TO INSTALL, SIMPLE TO USE, RELIABLE

Full visibility of inventory

iSilo 3D starts with robust radar sensors that scan the pile continuously and send the data over Ethernet to our powerful processing unit. The processing unit analyzes the data and sends all outputs directly to your PLC / SCADA systems over the interface of your choice. You can also use a web browser to access a user-friendly interface that provides a real-time, 3D visualization of the material as well as data storage and replay.

iSDR-P

3D Radar Sensor

The indurad Scanning Dynamic Radar – Premium (iSDR-P) is a 3D scanning radar with a field of view of 180˚x120˚ and a Millimeter resolution. The radar sensor covers the entire silo surface, both at low and high silo levels, at distances of up to 40 meters. The main housing parts are milled out of an aluminum block and are eloxated – no compromises are made on durability and longevity. The radar radome is milled out of a special teflon. The housing is IP66 rated / Nema 4x and corrosion resistant. Explosion proof ratings for Zone 20, 21, 22 according to IECEx / ATEX are available for selected sensor models.

The sensor runs on 12-36 volts and is connected via Ethernet to our processing unit (iRPU-F).

iRPU-F

Radar Data Processing Unit

The indurad Radar Processing Unit – Field (iRPU-F) is a compact cabinet which receives data from iSDR sensors via Ethernet and processes all data locally. The cabinet houses a powerful microprocessor, power supply, heater and can be supplied with several interface options (Socket TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet, OPC, Profibus DP, RS485, RS 422, RS 232, CAN, DeviceNet, Digital I/O, 4..20mA, etc.). Optionally, a Fiber Optic port and remote access via WiFi and/or 4G/5G modem is available. The cabinet is rated IP65 for outdoor use between -20˚C and +50˚C. Optionally available for higher and lower temperatures.

FEWER MALFUNCTIONS, LESS MAINTENANCE

FEWER MALFUNCTIONS, LESS MAINTENANCE

Radar sensors outperform ultrasonic, lasers, 1D radar sensors, cameras and human eyes in harsh environmental conditions.
With inventions and innovations, we make a difference.

1D radar sensor often provide little data to deliver an appropriate picture of the stored materials. Besides this, they face issues with multipath propagation in narrow vessels and at steel support beams.


Laser-based solutions are known to deliver accurate results, but often suffer from malfunctions in dusty environments & are naturally maintenance-intensive.


Ultrasonic measurements are frequently distorted by bulk handling particles, drive noise, dust clouds & temperature or pressure fluctuations.
