Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system for measuring the filling level of a silo for storing and mixing at least one bulk material, the silo being provided with a plurality of support legs on the ground, the system comprising:
a single deformation sensor provided to be fixed to a single support leg of the silo so that the deformation sensor can detect the deformations of the support leg in response to the introduction or extraction of the bulk material, the deformation sensor being provided to convert the detected deformations into deformation values in order to generate at least one measurement signal which comprises the deformation values,
a first wireless communication means provided to transmit the measurement signal, and
a remote server which comprises a second wireless communication means and a processor, the second wireless communication means being provided to receive the measurement signal, the processor being provided to effect digital processing of the measurement signal so as to obtain an estimation of the filling level of the silo from a mathematical law which links the filling rate of the silo and the variation of the deformation values contained within the measurement signal.
