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.
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.
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.
Fast-paced processing, industrial, and agricultural environments are driving the need for accurate, real-time data. Sensor manufacturers and software developers—including BinMaster—have been working rigorously to create new and innovative solutions.
Seeking ways to monitor inventory more efficiently? Here are some popular trends in the level sensing and inventory software world for your consideration.

Worldwide vegetable oil production includes 25 varieties of vegetable oils, oilseeds, and fats. In fact, according to the International Association of Vegetable Oils, Ukraine and Russia are the top producers of sunflower oil.
Proper storage of beans, seeds, and nuts is important to maximize the quality of finished products. Equilibrium moisture content and relative humidity must be maintained when filling and emptying bins. BinMaster sensors and software provide bulk material measurements to keep adequate inventory in check.
Cement managers find workplace injuries akin to kryptonite. Like superheroes, they’re ready to rid their world of danger.
These manufacturers know the challenges of bulk materials in the industry, including exposure to harsh ingredients. According to the Centers for Disease Control, if not careful, people can experience health complications including eye, skin, and respiratory disorders. Climbing bins and silos to measure what’s inside just doesn't make sense.
BinMaster non-contact level sensors can help, measuring levels in a silo via 3D Scanners, laser, or radar technologies to ensure accurate monitoring of product levels.
From bulky cocoa beans to lightweight nibs and fluffy cocoa powder, the chocolate industry counts on massive silos—some more than 1,000 tons—to store raw materials headed to factories across the world.
BinMaster's 3DLevelScanner sensor can count it all. Its multi-point measurement technology "sees" through challenging materials to report current silo levels and volumes.
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...
