Agricultural Facility Automation
Coordinate grain movement, equipment controls, and facility monitoring with automation engineered for every stage of your operation.
Complete Controls for Connected Grain Operations
SCADAware develops grain handling automation around the way each facility receives, stores, transfers, processes, and loads out material. Our team assesses existing equipment and operating requirements, then designs electrical controls, PLC sequences, grain routing logic, and operator interfaces that work together across the facility. We integrate conveyors, elevators, bins, motor controls, and industrial networks into SCADA systems that give operators clear visibility into equipment status and material flow. From panel fabrication and startup testing through commissioning, training, and ongoing modifications, we support the complete control system—not just the programming.
Automation Across the Grain Handling Process
Connected controls help coordinate material flow from incoming grain through storage, processing, and outbound transfer.
Receiving & Unloading
Sequence receiving equipment, conveyors, and elevators to move incoming grain into the facility with monitored equipment status and operating interlocks.
Storage & Transfer
Route grain between bins and handling equipment using coordinated PLC controls, destination selection, and SCADA visibility.
Loadout & Processing
Control outbound conveying and grain loadout while integrating processing equipment and bulk material handling into facility operations.

Smarter Grain Handling with SCADAware
Running a grain facility comes with big challenges—keeping equipment reliable, protecting product quality, and ensuring safety every step of the way. SCADAware helps grain elevators and storage operations take control with automation systems that make everyday processes more efficient, safer, and easier to manage.
With the right controls in place, your team can focus less on troubleshooting and more on moving grain smoothly from intake to load-out. Our solutions give you real-time visibility into your operation, helping you prevent downtime, reduce waste, and get more done with fewer headaches.
What this means for you:
- Less Risk, More Safety – Built-in monitoring and controls that reduce hazards like dust buildup or equipment overloads.
- Consistent Grain Quality – Automated aeration and storage controls that protect grain from spoilage or damage.
- Fewer Bottlenecks – Smarter conveyor and elevator controls that keep product moving efficiently.
- Reliable Operations – Systems that minimize breakdowns and cut down on costly downtime.
- Better Decisions – Clear, real-time data that helps you manage today’s workload and plan for tomorrow.
Step 1
01 — Facility Assessment
Review equipment, operating procedures, material flow, control requirements, and facility objectives.
Step 2
02 — Concept & System Design
Define control architecture, grain routing, equipment sequences, network layout, and system requirements.
Step 3
03 — Engineering & Integration
Develop electrical drawings, PLC logic, and operator interfaces; fabricate panels and integrate equipment and networks.
Step 4
04 — Commissioning & Ongoing Support
Test equipment operation, interlocks, routing, and alarms; support startup with operator training, documentation, troubleshooting, and future modifications.
An Engineering Partner for Complex Grain Handling Operations
Grain handling controls must account for equipment sequencing, material routing, interlocks, and the realities of daily facility operation. SCADAware brings electrical engineering, PLC programming, industrial networking, and SCADA integration together within one project team. We develop controls around each facility’s equipment and material flow, including upgrades that improve functionality without unnecessarily replacing mechanically sound machinery. After commissioning, we remain available for troubleshooting, system modifications, expansion, and modernization.
