Asphalt plant operators searching for a solution to enhance safety and prevent material loss during overhead loadout operations
About Silo Safety
The Silo Safety System ensures the safety of drivers and vehicles and eliminates loss of material in any type of overhead load scenario. Keep drivers and vehicles safe, eliminate costly loss of materials, and reduce plant downtime with the Silo Safety System. The system uses sets of infrared sensors appropriately placed under a silo to indicate when a vehicle is under the silo—a "broken" beam between a single set of sensors indicates a vehicle. Infrared sensors enable each silo, if and only if, the truck is in the proper position. A fully graphic touchscreen display indicates sensor and silo gate activation to the operator. Manual override mode with redundant loadout system interlock is available for scenarios not meeting standard vehicle and loadout situations. Advanced scale ticketing software and automation technologies. Digitize all your tickets for any inbound load at the plant, on the job site, and in the office.

Powerfleet
Powerfleet is an AIoT-powered fleet intelligence platform that unifies real-time data from vehicles, assets, and IoT devices into a single dashboard, giving organizations full visibility into on-road, in-warehouse, and off-road operations. Its “Unity” platform ingests data from any telematics device, camera, sensor, or third-party system and harmonizes it into actionable insights, thus eliminating data silos and “blind spots.” Features include vehicle and asset tracking, driver behavior monitoring (harsh braking, speeding, fatigue, etc.), route optimization, cargo-condition sensing (temperature, humidity, vibration), maintenance and diagnostics monitoring, compliance and regulatory reporting, and AI-powered video telematics for safety and incident prevention. For on-site operations (like warehouses, forklifts, construction, or heavy-equipment use), Powerfleet offers IoT-based safety and performance tools.
