Precision plastic resin inventory for silos
Tracking inventory for valuable bulk resins, powders, flakes, and regrind can be a daunting task for plastic processors. BinMaster makes tracking easier with continuous and point level sensors to monitor material in silos, hoppers, and granulators. Measurement data is sent to your phone or PC. Optimize inventory turnover, reduce carrying costs, gain real-time visibility for resin levels across multiple plants with BinMaster advanced polymer handling sensors. Perfect for vendor managed inventory.
Bulk material inventory system for plastics
How to digitize plastic resin inventory
Accounting for resin resting in silos is the difference between steady molding production and a shutdown. Level sensors atop silos continuously measure material and deliver readings to a phone or PC.
Measure through dusty material
Measuring dusty bulk material is a challenge unless operators choose non-contact sensors like BinMaster radars. Radars ignore dust and read material levels.
Multiple locations & vessels, one report
Imagine all locations, all silos on one screen. BinMaster offers complete systems to precisely manage inventory for one silo or a global operation. Get reports in real-time to maximize profits when buying or selling.
Human-centric software for plastic decision-makers
Sensors measure. Software organizes. Humans decide. BinMaster designed a human-centric system that serves just the right data on a silver plate.
Resin Silos
Radar level sensors measure silo levels continuously. Compact non-contact radars have Bluetooth setup, are simple to install, and aim at the desired measuring point using swivel mounts.
Polymer Plants
Plants that synthesize plastic polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) require constant monitoring of materials to ensure steady production. Radar level sensors are ideal for liquids, powders, or solids for large plants.
Recycling
Recycling requires grinding, washing, melting, pelletizing resins, and compounds. BinMaster sensors read and report levels continuously complementing complicated recycling organizations.
Vacuum Receivers
Moving pellets and resin in plastic injection molding operations requires pneumatic conveying and hoppers throughout the production line. BinMaster flow detect, vibrating rods, and mini capacitance probes are ideal for smaller containers and tracking movement of material.
Digital silo measurement benefits
Volatile Markets: Resin prices and availability can vary. Buying and selling when the time is right can improve profit.
Product Shortages: Running out of pellets can stop molding operations. BinMaster helps prevent material out-of-stock situations.
Overcome supply chain challenges
Tedious Paperwork: No manual documentation or fallible, insecure processes.
Supply Chain Simplicity: Keep up with shifting demand and unpredictable lead times.
Manage Silo Space: Control delivery timing and have space for incoming deliveries.
Improve Order Management: Use historical usage trends so you can satisfy your customers.
Prevent Overstocking: Don’t tie up money and storage space on slow-moving resins.
Scalable Software: Inventory management software adapts for one to 1000s of silos.
Consistent Tracking: Level sensors measure resin silos continuously around the clock.
Staff Efficiency: No manual measurement or climbing. Nothing left to human error.
Accurate Data: Everyone knows, at any given moment, how much resin you have.
Forecasting Demand: Usage reports by resin type to project and plan for customer needs.
Better Visibility: Know which location and silo contains how much of which resin.
Equipment Monitoring
Sensors "watch" your silos and tanks to ensure material doesn't run out or overfill. Products like Flow Detect and point level indicators send alerts to prevent problems.
Monitor Conveyors
Plastic recyclers can monitor for overloaded or empty conveyors using non-contact radar level sensors or tilt switches.
Pneumatics
Point level sensors like vibrating rods or rotaries detect levels in hoppers. Flow detect alerts to flow or no flow conditions in feeders and pneumatic conveying systems.
Batch Control, Flow
> Ensure flow is stopped to ensure proper additive amounts
> Confirm an additive is flowing for proper batch control
Truck & Railcars Scheduling
> Know how many truckloads of material is on hand
> Optimize scheduling of deliveries and drivers
> Enjoy benefits of vendor managed inventory
BinMaster's inventory system for the plastics industry simplifies product ordering and management.
Boost safety and improve supply chain management, realize a return on investment, and inventory accuracy.
