Silo load cell systems often use several load cells beneath the silo’s support. These strong sensors can handle the heavy weight of the silo and what’s inside. When weight is added, the load cells bend slightly. This creates an electrical signal that matches the force applied. The weighing indicator or controller processes this signal. It turns the signal into an accurate weight reading. https://www.labloadcell.com/news/silo-load-cells-the-unsung-heroes-of-precise-inventory-management/
