Binventory
Inventory Management for Bins
PC-based inventory management installed on your company’s LAN, WAN, or VPN. This easy-to-use software is a great alternative to PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems. Binventory®—formerly known as eBob—is a one-time purchase for software that gives you control over security and users.
Monitor solids and liquids in bins, tanks, or silos with one login
With Binventory all the programming is already done. There are no extra components to buy, and no programming skills needed. Simply enter the bin and material parameters and it is ready-to-go, right out-of-the box. You can even configure complex vessels of different shapes and sizes, such as horizontal tanks, split silos, and non-linear tanks using a simple wizard.
When you want even more inventory accuracy, bulk densities and strapping tables can be entered for solids, while entering specific gravity for liquid tanks ensures spot-on volumes.
Compatible with many BinMaster level sensors
Binventory works with many BinMaster sensors including SmartBob cable-based sensors, non-contact-radar, guided wave radar, 3D scanners, ultrasonic, and laser level sensors. Network devices and wireless options cut down on wiring and labor costs and send sensor data over long distances.
Improve inventory management and stay on top of your supply chain.
Be in the know with everyone in the loop
Get automated alerts, inventory levels, and historical reports on your PC or tablet. Share data from Binventory with your vendors for VMI and authorized users in production, purchasing, and finance. It is simple to use and requires no special training or support, so it eliminates labor intensive manual reporting and reduces interruptions to your workday.
Users view one site or all sites
Binventory™ can be used at one location or across an entire company using its multi-site feature. All you need is access to your company LAN, WAN, or VPN. If someone needs a current reading from a vessel, they can simply click on the “get reading” button.
Everyone saves time and stops climbing to measure each bin, making it safer while optimizing inventory levels and storage capacity.
BinCloud vs Binventory
What's the difference?
Binventory is a software program installed and used on a local area network.
