One Login for Multiple Sites, Bins

 In the face of soaring inflation, intense competition, and supply chain challenges, industries are turning to technology solutions, particularly Industry 4.0 goals, to stay competitive. McKinsey & Company’s study highlights the cement industry’s need for digitization, sustainability, and resilience to lower operating costs and boost productivity. The World Economic Forum’s 2020 report identified 54 Industry 4.0 leaders in manufacturing, but none were in the cement sector. The study emphasizes the potential of digitization and sustainability efforts to enhance productivity, with technology enabling remote collaboration and quick decision-making.
Addressing the challenges faced by the concrete, manufacturing, and agricultural industries operating across multiple locations, BinMaster introduces SiteView within its CementView platform. This cloud-based software facilitates centralized bulk material inventory management, aiding organizations with better decision-making in purchasing, forecasting, and material movement across sites. The BinMaster system, exemplified by a case serving 58 silos across four states, provides real-time bulk inventory data to dispersed teams, enhancing operational efficiency through custom reports, usage projections, and automated alerts via the BinCloud inventory management software.

Preventing Plugs in Food Processing

Consequences of chute blockages in the food industry include disrupted operations and significant losses in production, labor, and reputation. BinMaster’s Flow Detect, which is a mass flow detector; as well as capacitance probes, rotaries, and vibrating probes, to monitor bulk material flow, or no flow conditions.

German Engineering Federation statistics say that 75% of respondents in the industry faced chute blockages, resulting in a costly average downtime of six hours at $250,000 per incident. EHS Today underscores the link between manufacturing accidents and poorly maintained machinery, urging the food production sector to adopt preventive measures through advanced chute detection technologies and meticulous design strategies.

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.

Danger Lurks on Ladders, Measure Cement with Sensors and Software

Every year, more than 500,000 people are treated for ladder-related injuries—according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control. 300 of these people die. The cost is high—both personally and financially—as ladders account for work loss, medical, and legal fees, and pain and suffering. It’s a $24 billion problem.

Industries are quickly realizing the best solution is automation when it comes to silo, tank, or bin measurements. BinMaster provides sensors that continuously measure bulk inventory and send data to a cloud-based application for use by operations, maintenance, transportation, and supply staff.

Read how a leading North American cement provider took on these site safety challenges.

Concrete Colossus and CementView® Software

Sometimes stories illustrate solutions. Using sensors and cloud software called CementView®, a major concrete company reduced material shortages and simplified life for drivers and dispatchers.

Read the story of how a company with ten ready-mix plants automated the monitoring processes of 58 silos containing cement powder, IPF, and fly ash. CementView keeps dispatchers informed. Using a PC, tablet, or phone, dispatchers can monitor inventory for each silo and plant location by stored bulk material. Automatic text and email messages send alerts when it's time to restock.

Non-Contact Sensors Swoop Cement Data to You

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.
