Maximize Automated Inventory Management with Professional Setup

Inventory management can be complicated, but it certainly doesn't need to be! In the transition to Industry 5.0, operators are seeking smart systems to give their team real-time visibility into bulk inventory, helping them anticipate future needs and prevent costly downtime due to outages, dry runs, or maintenance.

It's crucial to choose a licensed professional to perform these installation tasks thanks to their beneficial knowledge of permitting and electrical codes. Electricians may also offer expert advice that could make future installations easier, and perhaps even cheaper, for the user.

Read BinMaster's whitepaper to compare two case studies—one company who chose to install sensors one silo at a time vs. another company's full-day install—and learn the importance of professional installation. Plus, learn what aspects make up a SmartSilo system, and the best practices for installing them.

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.

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.

 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.
