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 areas. It ensures financial reports, including balance sheets and income statements, accurately reflect the company’s position.
This accuracy is crucial for tax planning, helping avoid overstated profits that could lead to overpayment of estimated taxes. Correct inventory levels are essential for optimizing working capital management and cash flow, preventing unnecessary purchases. In cost accounting, accurate data provides a clearer understanding of the true costs of goods sold. Learn how BinCloud® provides this valuable accuracy to operators worldwide.
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 and block chain practices, a discrepancy with inventory measurements undermines inventory control, makes ordering decisions ineffective and results in poor delivery and higher inventory costs.
While manufacturing managers were implementing the Industry 4.0 philosophy, COVID-19 hit. The pandemic brought worker and supply chain shortages and accelerated the effort to boost technology in manufacturing. BinMastersensors and software fit perfectly into Industry 4.0 goals.
The grain industry faces many challenges in managing inventory in large bins. When a single vessel may hold a million bushels, easily accessible "binventory" is crucial to the profitability of an operation.
There are various options available for data reporting, including cloud-based software and local display consoles. Learn about matching the right type of sensor to your operation for accurate level measurements in bins big and small. Plus, discover how point-level indicators are applied for affordable high- and low-level alert conditions.
Point-level sensors are inexpensive, easy to use, and durable, but you must choose the right one for the right situation. Proper level measurements, alarms, and inventory control should involve more than "eeny, meeny, miny, mo." BinMaster representatives can help!
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.
With so many different technologies for level measurement on the market—and more to be introduced—it's becoming increasingly difficult to find the right sensor for your operations. Plant operators don't have time to read full product line brochures. Farmers just need an answer to access precise, real-time grain bin inventory.
BinMaster offers an easier way to choose a continuous level sensor with our practical guide to sensor selection. Browse quick pros and cons lists for BinMaster's technologies to find your match.
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.
Now more than ever, manufacturers expect—and must navigate—volatile supply chains and pricing. Effective bulk material management begins with smart systems that make data easily accessible, which ultimately helps strengthen inventory control. Level sensors and software from BinMaster help...
