Sustainability & Bulk Material Monitoring

Food, consumer products, packaging…nearly everything…involves the use of bulk solids at some point during their manufacture. In the retail world, inventory record accuracy costs an average of 1.75% loss of revenue. Their suppliers also suffer up to 0.73% loss of revenue. In a world of Industry 4.0 and block chain practices, a discrepancy with inventory measurements undermines inventory control, makes ordering decisions ineffective and results in poor delivery and higher inventory costs.

One login for multiple sites, bins

 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.

Preventing plugs in food processing

Consequences of chute blockages in the food industry include disrupted operations and significant losses in production, labor, and reputation. BinMaster’s Flow Detect, which is a mass flow detector; as well as capacitance probes, rotaries, and vibrating probes, to monitor bulk material flow, or no flow conditions.

German Engineering Federation statistics say that 75% of respondents in the industry faced chute blockages, resulting in a costly average downtime of six hours at $250,000 per incident. EHS Today underscores the link between manufacturing accidents and poorly maintained machinery, urging the food production sector to adopt preventive measures through advanced chute detection technologies and meticulous design strategies.

Procurement optimization for bulk material supply chain

There’s money to be made through smart supply chain strategies like procurement optimization, material aggregation, and strategic sourcing. During the past 30 years, total global material consumption has increased by 80% and is projected to reach 180 billion tons of different materials by 2050.

“We’re engaged with industries using predictive data,” said Conrad Woerner, BinMaster Supply Chain Manager. “If a company can access its bulk material needs and realize just 1 or 2% waste reduction, or create an ordering rhythm to purchase at a lower price point, it could create millions of dollars return on investment.”
