Grain, Feed, and Agriculture Silo and Warehouse Inventory Automation
Volivue provides legged silo patch-mount weighing, 80GHz radar level, and 3D LiDAR grain warehouse and pellet store scanning for grain storage elevators, oilseed processors, feed mills, and agricultural storage facilities — covering all silo and flat-store inventory types.
Inventory management challenges in grain, feed, and agriculture
Frequent stock surveys have high error margins
Grain and feed ingredients carry high unit value and seasonal price swings, but silo surveys rely on manual climbing or estimation — results are delayed and inaccurate for quality audit and financial reporting.
Granular materials form irregular piles
Corn, soybeans, and meal form conical or irregular piles inside silos; a single point distance reading cannot represent total inventory; weighing or 3D scanning is more appropriate.
Multi-bin data cannot be consolidated easily
Inventory data from multiple silos, flat stores, and remote locations cannot be aggregated in real time, leaving purchasing and sales decisions data-lagged.
Grain safety requires inventory-linked monitoring
Grain condition changes (temperature, humidity, insect activity) are connected to fill level; a unified inventory and grain condition monitoring platform reduces loss risk.
Volivue solution architecture for grain, feed, and agriculture
Patch-mount weighing system (preferred for legged silos)
Sensors attach externally to support legs; AI algorithms deliver real-time inventory weight and in/out trend. Suitable for 2–12 legged grain or feed silos with no emptying or production stoppage required.

80GHz radar level system (sealed silo level)
Non-contact narrow-beam radar penetrates grain dust and granule reflection to deliver reliable level signals for soybeans, meal, corn, and other sealed silos.

3D LiDAR grain warehouse and pellet store scanning
3D scanning of flat-store grain piles or irregular pellet stores calculates precise volume, with data connected to ERP grain inventory management systems.
