Abstract
<jats:p>Silos are on-site storage containers used for the storage and distribution of various types of mixtures. Silos of this type come in a variety of sizes, making them ideal for use. A silo can be a permanent structure, or a portable model that can be relocated when necessary. A storage silo can be structured to hold no more than a few tons of dry product, or be designed to efficiently hold several hundred tons. Generally, larger silos are permanent structures that cannot be moved. These simple storage devices can usually be set up in a matter of hours, then dismantled once the project is complete. The main objective of the project is to design a silo where silo weight can inform your silo level on your mobile through GSM/GPRS modem. This type of silo is called as Smart silo which will help to manage inventory and logistics in better way, improving overall business efficiency and cost saving. For the Smart Silo design Creo3.0 formerly known as PRO-E is used for this project, all individual parts of the silo are modeled in Part module and assembled in the Assembly module using bottom-up approach. The model converted into IGES file format which will be used for Analysis. For the analysis the FEA software ANSYS16.0 was used with different materials.</jats:p>
