Silo Inventory Management Integrates With
Multiple Sensor Types

Elburn, IL -- The manufacture of polymer reinforced structural products uses multiple products including aggregates and resins.  Managing the raw material inventory of these items requires the use of differing level sensor technologies that are best suited for the target material and application.  In addition, this inventory of raw material must be managed properly as it can affect the cash-flow and income of the manufacturer. Monitor Technologies LLC uses its SiloTrack V3.53 inventory management software in just such an application to provide the benefits of improved inventory visibility and management of reordering and inventory control. Production depends on proper inventory management and accounting can insist on it.


SiloTrack V3.52 is a smart system using Server and Client software. It can interface with up to 128 sensors, including smart cable-based and guided wave radar devices.  This novel approach means you can be assured of having accurate and up-to-date database of information right at your fingertips.  In a day-and-age that security is paramount, SiloTrack provides security for your data and your internal IT system with user/password protection and encrypted data passing between the Server software and any Clients. SiloTrack V3.52 provides both English and Spanish language for ease of use and utilizes your LAN, WAN/Internet or dial-up connection to transmit database uploads between Server and Client.

SafePoint^®
"True" Fail-Safe Level Switch

The SafePoint rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability to function. The analysis includes sensor health and system power failure, which makes the SafePoint truly “fail-safe”. The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-Effect technology, dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health, and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids processing and storage from the consequences of unknown sensor failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure and confirmation of proper operation.

Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction, motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous location models)

A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true" fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a catastrophic process problem.
