BOLT — Silo Inventory Monitoring by Structural Load
“The silo structure becomes the scale — inventory by load, immune to dust and bridging.”
BOLT Silo Monitoring
- Real-time bulk inventory without radar/ultrasonic failure modes (dust, rat-holing, dielectric drift).
- No jacking, no welding, no internal sensors — externally mounted on silo legs.
- Inventory reconciliation managers can trust for ordering and logistics.
- Proven: 12+ months development, successful 6-month branded-customer pilot.
Scope: Structural load response (strain-based) method; external install on running silos; positioned against radar, ultrasonic, plumb bob, and load-cell retrofit; piloted & productized (2026).
6-month pilot on a branded customer site validated accuracy through real inventory cycles.
Next step: proven for ag, cement, plastics, and feed operations.

Torque-based Edge Insights: ITM iTestSystem Automated Analytics + Binsfeld TT50
In industrial and marine environments, the drivetrain is often the most critical — and least monitored — part of the system. Rotating shafts transferring torque through gearboxes, couplings, and propellers generate enormous forces that, left unmeasured, become the root cause of unexpected failures, unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance cycles. Traditional torque measurement solutions require shaft…
