Elevator construction and automation of grain storage facilities are tasks that only experienced and certified specialists can cope with. High complexity of tasks and responsibility for the final result oblige production companies to take a responsible approach to selecting a future contractor. Agro-industrial enterprises prefer to rely on the experience and competence of INFOCOM sp. z o.o. employees. There are good reasons for this:

  1. Quality project in optimal terms. From the development of project documentation in the EPLAN Electric P8 design system to pilot operation, we provide customers with high-quality automation at the agreed time and strictly before the deadline. For this purpose, let’s discuss our task and start realizing it as soon as possible.
  2. Application of quality equipment. INFOCOM Sp. z o.o. works only with proven and reliable brands such as SIEMENS, Schneider Electric, Eaton/Moeller. Thus, we can guarantee the quality and reliability of the control system, which is confirmed by the certificates of partner for the implementation of automation solutions from SIEMENS, Schneider Electric, Eaton/Moeller.
  3. Guarantee of fair prices for elevator design. Our company works directly with brands-manufacturers of equipment for ACS. As a result, all customers receive favorable conditions for the purchase and delivery of equipment for the construction and automation of grain storage facilities.

An automation system typically includes the following set of basic cabinets:

  • Input cabinet; power distribution cabinet, motor control cabinet;
  • Programmable controller cabinet (PLC cabinet); decentralized peripheral cabinets;
  • Communication equipment cabinets;
  • Lighting cabinet;
  • Automated operator workstation.

In an agro-industrial enterprise, a grain elevator as a facility for storing and processing raw materials is a must. There are different types of equipment. For example, basic – designed for grain storage, transshipment – located near the railroad or seaport, production, etc.


Construction of a new or modernization of an existing grain elevator or grain storage facility is necessarily accompanied by cooperation with a specialized contractor. Production companies are interested in fruitful cooperation with a contractor who can provide a wide range of services, or even better, who offers comprehensive automation and turnkey construction of grain elevators.

– Elevator thermometry

We are also able to use elevator thermometry, an automated temperature monitoring system for grain storage facilities, which monitors temperature fluctuations in the silo that are different from the norm and signals further actions to stabilize the temperature. Therefore, thermometry contributes to an optimal grain storage regime. Such an elevator is guaranteed to fulfill its tasks.

Automation/modernization of granaries and elevators

Automation of elevators and automation of granaries is the specialization of INFOCOM Ltd. We will perform the whole range of works from design to commissioning of the facility. Our specialists will deliver, install the necessary equipment, carry out adjustment works.

After completion of all works we offer warranty and post-warranty maintenance of automation systems, at the request of the Customer – with the conclusion of a service agreement.

Our training center offers training for operators, engineers on maintenance of ACS on automation systems Siemens Simatic & WinCC for independent maintenance of the system.
