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.
Smart silos, equipped with advanced sensors, data analytics, and automation, revolutionize bulk storage conditions and ensure product quality and safety. Intelligent inventory systems leverage IoT and cloud to minimize waste, enhance inventory management, and optimize processing operations. BinCloud BinMaster’s centralized software platform collects and presents data from continuous level sensors. It includes easy-to-understand graphical reports for multiple silos in one, or more, facilities. Intelligent silo systems eliminate the need for risky manual measurements, offering real-time level measurements and allowing administrators to delegate tasks with emailed reports.
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
In the fast-paced world of industrial operations, the efficiency of managing bulk materials plays a pivotal role in determining the success of businesses. This article delves into the crucial aspect of demand forecasting and its impact on inventory costs, resource allocation, and overall profitability. Whether it’s powders, pellets, or solids, the frequency and strategy of replenishing materials can significantly affect the bottom line. The article emphasizes the proactive approach of demand forecasting, citing studies that show potential cost reductions of up to 20% to 30%.
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.”
As organizations polish Industry 4.0 tools and processes, a new focus has emerged to define ways to benefit employees, sustainability, fairness, and human interactions. Industry 5.0, in some ways, benefits from 4.0 achievements automation and process improvements. Industry 5.0 points to sustainable, human-centric goals and asks, “are we supporting future societal values?”
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...
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...
