| Point & Continuous Level Control Technologies | Read | Related Links |
| April 2010 Using point & continuous level control technologies benefits operations by preventing bin overflows, enhancing safety and saving time by monitoring multiple bins from a central location. The result is improved inventory management, better accuracy, just-in-time replenishment, and avioding shut downs. Point level indicators detect when solid material reaches a certain “point” in the bin and sends an alert that the bin is empty or full and are primarily used as a high or low level alert to prevent overfilling or running out of material. Continuous level indicators measure the bin level and at predetermined time intervals and send data to a console or PC and are used for inventory management and process control. |

| Automating Inventory Control in Bins, Tanks & Silos | Read | |
| April 2010 With just-in-time manufacturing and companies looking to minimize inventory levels, effectively managing material supplies is more important than ever before. Monitoring bin levels helps companies optimize material storage and save money. Furthermore, climbing to the top of bins presents a potential employee safety issue, to say nothing about the time and people it takes to scale a yard full of tall bins. Point level controls can provide simple alerts to prevent bin overfills. Continuous bin level management systems can help optimize inventory levels, virtually eliminate the need for employees to climb bins, and save valuable time by allowing bin measurements to be read from a console, personal computer or other centralized location. |

| The Remote Revolution | Read | |
| October 2007 Real-time data on demand is revolutionizing inventory management. This paper discusses how bin monitoring devices are providing today's process industries with a variety of remote inventory communications options. Topics include the basics of wireless sensor networks, modem-to-modem dial-up, modem to a dial-up ISP, integrated Web services using direct integration into a TCP/ IP network, and local area networks using PC inventory management software. These different approaches can be used alone – or in combination – to provide a complete inventory management solution. |
