SiloNET
Grain silo monitoring and optimization module
Description
SiloNET is part of DunavNET’s digital farming solutions and focuses on the management of grain storage processes. The solution supports monitoring of storage conditions and provides guidance for managing grain aeration, pest control, and disinfection activities to improve storage efficiency and reduce losses.
Technology
SiloNET integrates in-storage sensors with an IoT and cloud-based analytics platform. Measurement data from grain storage environments are combined with information on grain type and storage duration to generate decision support for storage optimization, including aeration cycles, pest management and energy use.
Target
The solution targets farmers, grain storage operators and agribusinesses responsible for post-harvest grain storage. It supports users managing storage facilities of different scales who seek to reduce losses and improve storage efficiency through data-driven monitoring.
Business model
The company offers turnkey deployments with a combined model: hardware acquired via a one‑time purchase (sensors/gateways) and setup fee, while software is licensed by annual subscription per device or end user. Professional services can be provided on a fee‑for‑service basis during deployment and operation.
Impact
SiloNET is intended to improve grain storage management by supporting optimized storage conditions, reduced pesticide use and improved energy efficiency, contributing to lower post-harvest losses. Public sources reviewed do not provide independently verified quantitative impact data.
