342 view(s) Eny, Meeny, Miny, Mo Sensors
Point-level sensors are inexpensive, easy to use, and durable, but you gotta choose the right one for the right situation. Proper level measurements, alarms, and inventory control should involve more than eny, meeny, miny, mo, and BinMaster representatives can help.

406 view(s) Procurement Optimization for Bulk Material Supply Chain
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 or 2% waste reduction, or create an ordering rhythm to purchase at a lower price point, it could create millions of dollars return on investment.”

538 view(s) Bulk Density is Key to Bulk Material Storage
What is bulk density? In simple terms, it’s mass per unit volume of powder, liquid, granules--any material-- in a bulk state. When handling solids or powders, a bulk material’s weight is usually stated as lb./ft3 or g/cm3. Veteran processors often have their material weights memorized. While the graphics and easy-to-understand reports on BinCloud seem simple, bulk inventory information results from numerous calculations like vessel size, headspace, and the material's density.

Some bulk material applications are straightforward. Others, not so much. BinMaster’s 3D Level Scanner works well in most bins and silo storage. Let’s dive into some more unique applications. Uneven loading can be “seen” with 3D so operators can adjust before major failures. Bulk material tends to pile in uneven ways in a pie-shaped bin. 3DLevelSensors are the best solution for measuring these bins as well. Finally, material stored in bunkers can be measured accounting for the ups and downs of piles.

223 view(s) IoT Key to Cloud Inventory
A storm of challenges faces organizations including the strain of product demand, limited supply chain resources, and an unprecedented exodus of people leaving the workforce. 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.
“Ultimately, you want to run autonomously in a closed-loop system where humans set parameters, but technology runs itself,” said Chris Hill, Technology Program Director at Iowa State University Center for Industrial Research and Service. “Sensors and software directly feed an Industry 4.0 environment. They replace a physical process and feed information back to people.”

Workforce shortages in the U.S. have sparked great energy toward technology. The urgency to implement automated work processes continues to climb. BinMaster sensors and software can provide significant labor relief by replacing repeatable and frequent physical labor. It results in a safer workplace and accurate inventory and aids in strategic ordering and dispatching.

Poultry operations require a variety of bulk materials with everything from liquified fat to lime and grains. A Midwest-based poultry feed mill faced a very tedious and manual inventory process before BinMaster brought solutions. Raising livestock requires tight control of what materials are ordered, how long feed is stored, and when feed is running out and needs to be restocked.
