Improve Carrying Costs with Bulk Measurement Systems

Before COVID-19 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.

“BinMaster is navigating the same supply chain waves as our customers,” said Scott Hudson, President, BinMaster. “We’re hearing from people who can’t get their materials delivered on a consistent schedule, so they’re really using BinMaster for planning orders. They can’t afford to shut down production because of a bad or outdated measurement.”

Industry 5.0: The Techno-Social Revolution

As organizations polish Industry 4.0 tools and processes—including level sensors and software for inventory management—a new focus has emerged that helps companies define ways to benefit employees, sustainability, fairness, and human interaction.

Industry 5.0 benefits from 4.0 achievements regarding industrial automation and process improvements. This new phenomenon points to sustainable, human-centric goals, requiring leaders to ask, “Are we supporting future societal values?”

Culture & Digital Transformation in Bulk Supply Chains

Digital transformation improves supply chain resilience, automation, accuracy, and efficiency, benefiting people effectively collaborating in a digital system.

BinMaster designs systems to pool such technologies. By bringing bulk material data from sensors atop silos to a secure cloud report, authorized users can access the same information in real time. Decisions and conversations bring decision makers the same data.

It’s all about collaboration, accuracy, and transformation to automated processes.

Sensors for Bunkers, Pie & Oh My

Some bulk material applications are straightforward. Others, not so much. BinMaster’s 3DLevelScanner works well in most bins and silo storage.

Operators can "see" uneven loading with 3D technology, allowing them to adjust before major failures. As bulk material tends to pile unevenly in pie-shaped bins, 3DLevelSensors are the best solution for measuring these structures. Material stored in bunkers can be measured accurately, accounting for the ups and downs of piles.

IoT is Key to Cloud Inventory

Organizations face a storm of challenges: the strain of product demand, limited supply chain resources, and an unprecedented exodus of people leaving the workforce. Thankfully, Industry 4.0 technology and systems provide some relief.

Industry 4.0 is a system that combines informational and operational technology to make manufacturing more aware, predictive, and autonomous. Employees operating in a 4.0 environment are highly connected with a more complete view of their business ecosystem. Level sensors and software directly feed the Industry 4.0 atmosphere.

Plugged Chutes Design and Monitor

Chutes are used to control the direction of material, a flow stream, spillage, dust and environmental pollution, production degradation, and surge control. 

Proper chute design can make or break an operation. This construction may include high-tech sensors to indicate flow/no-flow material conditions. Operators can be alerted before or shortly after a plug occurs, allowing immediate action to prevent damage to equipment, bulk material waste, and worker injury.

3D Level Measurement for Bins, Tanks & Silos

When it comes to inventory accuracy in bins, silos, and tanks, multiple-point measurements always rank higher when compared to single-point measurement. 

BinMaster's acoustic-based 3DLevelScanner uses mapping software to create a 3D image of the bin’s topography. Volume precision is markedly better than what is achievable with single-point devices.

Maintenance, Repair, Operations: Strategic Spending

According to a study by Markets N Research, maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) budgets will grow from $701 billion in 2021 to $897 billion by 2028. MRO can cover supply chain management, industrial machine upkeep, technology advancement, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and preventative maintenance solutions.

BinMaster sensors and software bring technology improvements with a quick return on investment. Besides replacement parts, companies can budget for future needs—including inventory management systems for new bin, tank, or silo installations.
