Culture & Digital Transformation in Bulk Supply Chains

Digital transformation improves supply chain resilience, automation, accuracy, and efficiency, benefiting people effectively collaborating in a digital system. BinMaster designs systems to pool such technology partners. By bringing bulk material data from sensors atop silos to a secure cloud report, authorized users can access the same information in real time. Decisions and conversations bring decision-makers the same data. It’s all about collaboration, accuracy, and transformation to a more automated process.

Sensors for bunkers, pie & oh my

Some bulk material applications are straightforward. Others, not so much. BinMaster’s 3D Level Scanner works well in most bins and silo storage. Let’s dive into some more unique applications. Uneven loading can be “seen” with 3D so operators can adjust before major failures. Bulk material tends to pile in uneven ways in a pie-shaped bin. 3DLevelSensors are the best solution for measuring these bins as well. Finally, material stored in bunkers can be measured accounting for the ups and downs of piles.

IoT Key to Cloud Inventory

A storm of challenges faces organizations including the strain of product demand, limited supply chain resources, and an unprecedented exodus of people leaving the workforce. Industry 4.0 technology and systems provide some relief.

Industry 4.0 is a system that combines informational and operational technology to make manufacturing more aware, predictive, and autonomous. Employees operating in a 4.0 environment are highly connected with a more complete view of their business ecosystem.

“Ultimately, you want to run autonomously in a closed-loop system where humans set parameters, but technology runs itself,” said Chris Hill, Technology Program Director at Iowa State University Center for Industrial Research and Service. “Sensors and software directly feed an Industry 4.0 environment. They replace a physical process and feed information back to people.”

Plugged chutes design and monitor

chutes conveyors flow detect plugged chute

Chutes are used to control the direction of the material, flow stream, spillage, dust and environmental pollution, production degradation, retard or control flow, and surge control.

Cost is a factor for designing a bulk material handling system to accommodate different materials, according to Rich Tavis, BinMaster Representative, Southeast Region.

“I work with a company that purchased an agricultural facility and used it for minerals processing,” Tavis said. “They don’t want to invest in new silos, conveyors, and chutes, so they adapt and utilize sensors to monitor bulk material flow.”

High-tech sensors indicate flow and no-flow material conditions to alert operators before, or shortly after, a plug occurs.

3D Level Measurement for Bins, Tanks & Silos

3D Level Measurement Bulk Material silo

For improved inventory accuracy in silos, tanks, and bins, multiple-point measurement is always better when compared to single-point measurement. Acoustical-based technology includes multiple-point measurement and uses 3D mapping software that shows the bin’s topography to provide volume precision that is better than single-point measurement devices.

Bulk Inventory Level Sensor workforce shortage industry 4.0 automation sensor

Workforce shortages in the U.S. have sparked great energy toward technology. The urgency to implement automated work processes continues to climb. BinMaster sensors and software can provide significant labor relief by replacing repeatable and frequent physical labor. It results in a safer workplace and accurate inventory and aids in strategic ordering and dispatching.
