🍁 Sugarhouse Production Monitoring
Monitor Your Maple Operation From Sap to Shelf
A lot can go wrong between sap arriving at the sugarhouse and finished syrup leaving it. Running the evaporator dry, missing a full storage drum, or losing sap to overflow — each costs you yield and time. Rivio monitors every tank in your production chain in real time, so you can focus on the boil instead of the tanks.

Production Risks You Can't Afford
During the short sap season, every processing mistake compounds fast.
🔥
Evaporator Running Dry
Running the evaporator with a low sap feed tank scorches the pans, damages equipment, and produces off-flavour syrup. A level alert prevents a costly cleaning.
🌊
Storage Overflows
A full finished syrup drum getting missed in a busy boil session wastes expensive finished product. Automated alerts catch it before it overflows.
🚿
RO Permeate Tank Issues
Reverse osmosis feed tanks running too low or too high disrupts concentration ratios and brix consistency. Real-time monitoring keeps RO input steady.
⏱️
Time Spent Manually Checking
Walking to check each tank while managing an active boil pulls your attention from the evaporator. Rivio monitors the tanks so you don't have to.
📦
Bulk Storage Blind Spots
Large bulk syrup storage tanks — 55-gallon drums, totes, or bulk vessels — are easy to lose track of across a busy operation without a dashboard view.
📊
No Yield Tracking Per Batch
Without automatic sap intake and syrup output logging, yield calculations are manual and approximate. Rivio's tank data provides accurate production numbers.
Where Rivio Fits in Your Production Chain
From incoming sap to outgoing syrup — sensors at every stage give you a complete picture.
01
Sap Intake & Holding Tanks
Monitor the large receiving tanks where sap arrives from the bush. Know when they're nearing capacity and when it's time to start the evaporator.
02
RO & Evaporator Feed Tanks
Level sensors on reverse osmosis feed tanks and evaporator input ensure consistent sap supply throughout the boil — preventing dry-run damage and brix inconsistency.
03
Finished Syrup Storage
Track outgoing syrup levels in bulk drums, totes, or storage tanks. Know how much product you have, when containers need changing, and what your seasonal yield looks like.
What Rivio Gives Maple Producers
📊
Live Level Across All Tanks
One dashboard shows every tank in your operation — sap holding, RO feed, and syrup storage — at the same time. No walking, no checking.
🔔
Configurable Production Alerts
Set high and low thresholds per tank. Get an SMS when a sap holding tank hits 90%, or when an evaporator feed tank drops below 20% — before a problem occurs.
📈
Sap Intake & Yield Trends
Automatic logging of sap volume in and syrup volume out gives you accurate yield ratios per batch, per day, and across the full season.
🗺️
Sugarhouse Map View
See a live map of your facility with every tank labeled and color-coded — green, yellow, red — so any issue is visible at a glance.
📱
Monitor from Anywhere
Check your production tanks from your phone while you're managing the fire, talking to customers, or at home overnight. No Wi-Fi at the sugarhouse required.
📋
Season End Reporting
Rivio automatically compiles sap intake totals, syrup yield, and production records — ready for your accounting, co-op reporting, or organic certification documentation.
Production Monitoring FAQ
Does Rivio work in a sugarhouse without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Rivio sensors transmit over LTE cellular, not Wi-Fi. As long as there's a cell signal at your sugarhouse, sensors work without any internet infrastructure on-site.
Can Rivio monitor syrup viscosity or sugar content (brix)?
Rivio measures liquid level. Brix and temperature monitoring typically require separate inline sensors. Rivio focuses on tank level — where the product is, how much there is, and when containers need attention.
What size tanks can Rivio work with?
Rivio sensors support a wide range of tank sizes — from small 50-gallon feed tanks to large multi-thousand-gallon sap holding tanks. The setup wizard configures the sensor for your specific tank dimensions.
Can I monitor collection tanks in the bush and production tanks in one account?
Yes. All your sensors — whether they're in the sugarbush or inside the sugarhouse — appear in the same Rivio account. Group, filter, and name them however you like.
Run a Tighter Maple Operation This Season
Every tank in your production chain monitored, every level logged, every overflow prevented. Let Rivio handle the tank watching so you can focus on the boil.
