Introduction
Stevin Rock, a leading mining company, required better visibility into raw material levels stored across multiple silos to improve inventory planning and avoid material shortages or overstocking. Manual level checks and delayed reporting made it difficult to maintain accurate inventory data in real time. To address this challenge, Stevin Rock partnered with Covansys Technologies to implement a real-time silo-level monitoring solution using industrial-grade sensors and secure wireless connectivity. The solution enabled continuous monitoring of silo levels and provided actionable insights for smarter material planning.
