Description

The Silo Safety System is designed to protect both drivers and vehicles while preventing material loss in various overhead load situations. This innovative system not only enhances the safety of drivers and their vehicles but also minimizes expensive material wastage and decreases operational downtime at the plant. By employing strategically positioned infrared sensors beneath the silo, the system detects when a vehicle is in place; a "broken" beam between the sensors signifies the presence of a vehicle. The infrared technology ensures that each silo operates only when the truck is correctly positioned. Operators benefit from a fully graphic touchscreen display that shows the activation status of the sensors and the silo gate. Additionally, a manual override option with a redundant loadout system interlock is provided for unique circumstances that do not conform to typical vehicle and loadout scenarios. The system also incorporates advanced scale ticketing software and automation tools, allowing for the digitization of all tickets related to incoming loads at the plant, on-site, and in the office, thereby streamlining operations. Ultimately, the Silo Safety System represents a comprehensive solution for enhancing safety and efficiency in material handling processes.
