Bean Counters Count on BinMaster for Inventory Precision

Accounting professionals and bulk operators grapple with inventory accuracy challenges that impact financial statements and operations planning. Traditional measurement (tapes and spreadsheets) often result in substantial discrepancies.

Precise inventory data plays a pivotal role in several key areas. It ensures financial reports, including balance sheets and income statements, accurately reflect the company’s position.

This accuracy is crucial for tax planning, helping avoid overstated profits that could lead to overpayment of estimated taxes. Correct inventory levels are essential for optimizing working capital management and cash flow, preventing unnecessary purchases. In cost accounting, accurate data provides a clearer understanding of the true costs of goods sold. Learn how BinCloud® provides this valuable accuracy to operators worldwide.

 In the face of soaring inflation, intense competition, and supply chain challenges, industries are turning to technology solutions, particularly Industry 4.0 goals, to stay competitive. McKinsey & Company’s study highlights the cement industry’s need for digitization, sustainability, and resilience to lower operating costs and boost productivity. The World Economic Forum’s 2020 report identified 54 Industry 4.0 leaders in manufacturing, but none were in the cement sector. The study emphasizes the potential of digitization and sustainability efforts to enhance productivity, with technology enabling remote collaboration and quick decision-making.
Addressing the challenges faced by the concrete, manufacturing, and agricultural industries operating across multiple locations, BinMaster introduces SiteView within its CementView platform. This cloud-based software facilitates centralized bulk material inventory management, aiding organizations with better decision-making in purchasing, forecasting, and material movement across sites. The BinMaster system, exemplified by a case serving 58 silos across four states, provides real-time bulk inventory data to dispersed teams, enhancing operational efficiency through custom reports, usage projections, and automated alerts via the BinCloud inventory management software.

Human-centric sensor, software

The year 2023 witnessed a surge in artificial intelligence adoption, with 79% exposed and 22% already integrating it into their work, as per a McKinsey survey. The focus on Industry 5.0 emphasizes collaboration between humans and technology, where AI is considered just another tool. BinMaster, a key player, highlights the importance of human-centric design in sensor and software technology for efficient decision-making. Their BinCloud software, designed with people in mind, organizes and interprets data, making big data actionable. The European Commission defines Industry 5.0 values as human-centric, resilient, and sustainable, aligning with goals for human-centric instrumentation. This approach involves replacing manual tasks with automation, exemplified by level sensors, BinCloud software, and other innovations. The overarching goal is to enhance efficiency, reduce physical work, and empower individuals to make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving automated landscape.

Global supply optimization, material aggregation

The global increase in material consumption, projected to reach 180 billion tons by 2050, emphasizes the need for efficient supply chain strategies. BinMaster contributes to this by offering accurate measurements of bulk materials in various locations. Conrad Woerner, BinMaster Supply Chain Manager, highlights the potential for significant returns on investment through predictive data, waste reduction, and strategic ordering. BinMaster’s sensors and BinCloud software provide real-time inventory views, aiding in predictive ordering and waste reduction.


The importance of procurement optimization, strategic sourcing, and material aggregation in enhancing profits and reducing waste is underscored. BinMaster’s role is pivotal in generating essential data for these strategies. Case studies in agriculture, petrochemicals, and construction demonstrate successful applications of these supply chain strategies. In an era where data-driven decision-making is crucial, BinMaster stands out as a tool transforming bulk material inventory management, facilitating collaboration across managers and departments for strategic supply chain planning.

Poultry Plant and Sensor Measurement

Poultry operations require a variety of bulk materials with everything from liquified fat to lime and grains. A Midwest-based poultry feed mill faced a very tedious and manual inventory process before BinMaster brought solutions. Raising livestock requires tight control of what materials are ordered, how long feed is stored, and when feed is running out and needs to be restocked.

Ethanol Plant Gets 3DLevelScanner for Reliable Measurement

Ethanol operations face plenty of challenges including bulk inventory measurement. Dust, accuracy, and reliability all must be considered with raw material storage. Our case study looks at extreme amounts of dust - especially during fill rates of up to 580 tons per hour - which made it extremely difficult to track the filling and emptying processes. Using just a single measurement did not account for the topography of material in bins. Multiple points created an average-level measurement.

Municipal Water Measured with Radar

Islands in the Caribbean endure plenty of weather events, but Hurricane Maria in 2017 was particularly damaging to Puerto Rico. According to their government, the water system, with 114 municipal water treatment plants, was severely damaged, leaving about half of the residents without water. Extra funding and attention to long-term solutions include water level storage sensors and software by BinMaster.

See through silo walls without touching product

Food manufacturers find non-contact level sensors attractive for a number of reasons. Of course, since nothing comes into contact with the material, there’s no risk of equipment interfering with the process or rogue parts breaking off and getting stuck in equipment or contaminating ingredients intended for human consumption. Plus, they provide continuous level measurement for optimizing inventory and preventing silos from running empty. No food manufacturer wants to risk tagging a bad batch due to a missing ingredient. Today’s most popular non-contact technologies are laser, radar, and 3D scanners.
