Many feed mills, grain storage facilities, and pet food plants are big in size and small on staff. Making bin inventory management available anywhere anytime enables people to be more efficient in their jobs. Today, a simple log into a website using an app or Software as a Service program puts real-time data in front of people who need it to make timely decisions. Improvements in processing efficiency, ordering, and delivery schedules, eliminating material shortages, and reducing carrying costs are just a few of the benefits of monitoring bin levels while on-site or off-premises. Automated alerts via text or email allow for proactive actions that can add to a mill’s bottom line.
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.
According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, every year, more than 500,000 people are treated for ladder-related injuries. 300 die. The cost is high both personally and financially as ladders account for work loss, medical, and legal fees, and pain and suffering. It’s a $24 billion problem. Industries are quickly realizing the best solution is automation when it comes to silo, tank, or bin measurements. BinMaster provides sensors that continuously measure bulk inventory and then send data to a cloud-based application for use by operations, maintenance, transportation, and supply departments. Let’s look at ways a major U.S. concrete company proactively boosted safety for their people...
Danger Lurks on Ladders, Measure Cement with Sensors and Software
BinMaster offers a great choice of sensors that moves bulk inventory-level data to cloud-based applications. Level sensors play a big role in helping a range of industries including those in grain storage and handling.
Measuring flour and wheat is tricky because silos are typically cloudy atmospheres requiring sensors that measure using radar technology. BinMaster provides these sensors to agricultural operations worldwide. BinMaster sensors were incorporated into the Bay State Milling Company storing high-fiber wheat varieties.
According to Forbes, more than 54 percent of all manufacturers have instituted or launched a smart factory initiative. Smart factories call for asset tracking, intelligent RFID, and sensors to lower costs, provide advanced analytics and make data cloud accessible. The rate of implementation is happening at a dizzying rate often leaving operations with a hodge-podge of log-ins, reports and tracking. BinMaster sensors and software have been a mainstay for smart factories for decades (before the term smart factory was fashionable). We know, and we helped build, the smart factory movement. First with eBob, now, with Binventory, that hodge-podge of data can all get pulled into one easy-to-decipher inventory report.
Binventory > Works with 3DLeveScanner, SmartBob, ultrasonic, and pressure sensors > View data for an individual vessel, a select group of vessels, or all vessels > Activate instant readings or program automatic measurements
Using a phone to shut your garage, turn on lights, adjust a thermostat or even connect a car radio to play Spotify, you’re engaged in Internet of Things (IoT). Businesses are quickly getting on board with IoT to save time, share data and enhance decisions. BinMaster creates systems based on IoT. BinMaster sensors gather data on bulk inventory, send data to a cloud-based application called BinCloud which can be accessed by multiple people for production, purchasing and planning purposes.
You’ve heard of Industry 4.0, but have you heard of Inventory 4.0.? Manufacturing leaders are tackling supply chain issues with digital solutions. Leveraging Industry 4.0 solutions, a recent McKinsey survey showed 39 percent have implemented a control-tower approach to increase supply chain transparency. About 25 percent are fast-tracking automation to stem worker shortages. Steve Schulz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Logistics & Supply Chain Management, said the program has taken a quick trajectory towards all the technology needed for this technological revolution.
IoT (Internet of Things) is booming. It prescribes a wireless network of devices embedded with sensors for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data. Global spending on IoT will reach $1.1 trillion by 2023. Binmaster technology falls into the IoT world with cloud sensors and cloud software monitoring bulk products like grain, plastic pellets, and aggregates stored in bins, silos, and other storage vessels.
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...
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...
