How does it work

• After an initial site audit, strain gauges are fitted to existing silos. The gauges monitor usage and provide real-time inventory information.
• The cement stock level is monitored every hour and readings are transmitted via gprs satellite directly to the Smart Silo^TM computer system.
• Data is logged and processed by Smart Silo^TM computer system, plotting future usage based on recent trends. CEMEX logistics and customer service teams use this information to place orders automatically on the customer's behalf.
• Cement is despatched to site efficiently and effectively ensuring a seamless and continuous supply.
• Customers can log on and view historic consumption, current stock levels and future usage trends. Smart Silo^TM eliminates administration and takes the guess work out of cement supply.
• A smarter way to do business.
