Procurement Optimization for Bulk Material Supply Chain

Supply Chain Cloud Software Continuous Level Sensors Digital Transformation

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% to 2% waste reduction, or create an ordering rhythm to purchase at a lower price point, it could create millions of dollars return on investment.”

Bulk Density is Key to Bulk Material Storage

Cloud Software Continuous Level Sensors Bulk Density Powder Measurement

What is bulk density? In simple terms, it’s mass per unit volume of powder, liquid, granules, or any material in a bulk state. When handling solids or powders, a bulk material’s weight is usually stated as lb./ft.³ or g/cm³.

Veteran processors often have their material weights memorized. While BinCloud® software's graphics and easy-to-understand reports seem to generate easily, bulk inventory information is calculated using numerous traits, including vessel size, headspace, and bulk density.

Bin Level Measurement Transformed by IoT

Agriculture Food Processing IoT Internet of Things

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.

A simple login on a website app or Software as a Service (SaaS) program puts real-time data in front of workers who need it to make timely decisions. Remote monitoring software benefits include improved processing efficiency, smarter ordering, optimized delivery schedules, and reduced carrying costs. Monitoring bin levels while on-site or off-premises boosts visibility throughout the company. Automated high- or low-level alerts via text or email allow for proactive action that can add to a mill’s bottom line.
