1436 view(s) System Considerations when Monitoring Bin Levels in the Grain Industry
The grain industry faces many challenges in managing inventory in large bins where a single vessel may hold a million bushels, making "binventory" crucial to the profitability of an operation. This white paper discusses how continuous-level sensors can be sued for accurate inventory management for local or company-wide monitoring. The are various options available for data reporting, including cloud-based applications, software, consoles, and automated text and email alerts. Learn about matching the right type of sensor for your operation for bins large and small, plus how point-level indicators can be applied for affordable high and low-level alert conditions.

467 view(s) Digital tranformation in bulk inventory e-book
Not long ago, bulk material management involved dirty clipboards, dangerous climbing, and long tape measures to determine grain, plastic, and cement levels in a bin or silo. Enter digital transformation which replaces antiquated processes using high-tech instruments like BinMaster level sensors and cloud software.
Digital transformation improves supply chain resilience, automation, accuracy, and efficiency, benefiting people effectively collaborating in a digital system.
BinMaster technology fits into the category of Internet of Things (IoT) which describes a wireless network of devices embedded with sensors for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data.IoT is automating manual tasksin the manufacturing industry.
IoT inventory sensors and software:
> Provide insights for data-driven decisions. Increase efficiency and drive down costs
> Shorten lead times for production
> Reduce carrying costs and last-minute purchases
> Reduces waste on bulk inventory that could spoil
> Integrates inventory data to Enterprise Resource Planning systems
> Streamlines transportation and timely ordering
> Requires less labor and guesswork

388 view(s) 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.”

497 view(s) Bulk Density Key to Bulk Material Storage
What is bulk density? In simple terms, it’s mass per unit volume of powder, liquid, granules--any material-- in a bulk state. When handling solids or powders, a bulk material’s weight is usually stated as lb./ft3 or g/cm3. Veteran processors often have their material weights memorized. While the graphics and easy-to-understand reports on BinCloud seem simple, bulk inventory information results from numerous calculations like vessel size, headspace, and the material's density.

537 view(s) Improve Carrying Costs with Bulk Measurement Systems
Before COVID and the supply chain crisis, industries relied on savvy just-in-time ordering to minimize carrying costs like warehousing, tied up capital, product spoilage, and waste. According to Investopedia, such carrying costs represent up to 30% of total material value. “We’re navigating the same supply chain waves as our customers,” said Scott Hudson, Executive VP Sales & Marketing, BinMaster. “We’re still hearing from people who can’t get their materials delivered on a consistent schedule, so they’re really using BinMaster for planning orders. They just can’t afford to shut down production because of a bad or outdated measurement.”
