Grain Storage Without Problems: Benefits of Automation

Transferring an elevator to automation will elevate the enterprise to a qualitatively new level. Proper automation of grain storage facilities reduces electricity expenses, increases the speed of enterprise operations, and improves the quality of the final product. But these — not the only bonuses.

Grain Storage Automation — an effective tool for increasing enterprise efficiency. Its main advantages:

• speeding up elevator operation;
• reducing energy consumption by 10-50%;
• eliminating part of human factor errors;
• increasing operator efficiency;
• possibility of immediate adjustment of technological processes.

Controlling and tracking each grain batch and total product volume will make the process more transparent. The operator will be able to monitor and adjust key parameters during grain storage and transportation, for example, moisture. Collected data will help optimize grain storage conditions.

Elevator management is performed from a single control panel — the dispatcher can quickly respond to any situation without spending time on visiting multiple control elements. The automated system automatically prevents a number of malfunctions and assists in resolving issues when they arise.

Automation can be implemented both on a newly constructed and on an existing elevator. Its presence will increase the enterprise’s competitiveness, reduce maintenance costs, and increase efficiency and profitability.
