Seconds Count with Sensors & Silos
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.
Inventory Management 101—Five Steps of Bulk Inventory Management
It takes just five basic components to design an inventory system for managing solids, powders, or liquids stored in bins, tanks, silos, and other storage vessels.
BinMaster 101: People, Product, Future
BinMaster sensors and software have earned a solid reputation in multiple industries thanks to high-quality products backed by our secret sauce: awesome people who listen and respond to customers.
Expanding to Industry 4.0 and the digitization of inventory management? Let BinMaster's experts help find you the best solution.
Plastic Production Delays
To avoid production delays, a major plastics production plant needed to keep a closer eye on their bulk inventory. The plant fed a variety of products from plastic pellet storage silos. The facility also used polyvinyl chloride (S-PVC), the world’s third-most widely produced synthetic polymer of plastic.
Enter ResinView® and smart level sensors by BinMaster that delivered accurate, reliable, and continuous non-contact volume measurements.
Supply Chain Education Focused on Tech
Manufacturing leaders are tackling supply chain issues with digital solutions. Leveraging Industry 4.0 solutions, a recent McKinsey survey showed 39% have implemented a control-tower approach to increase supply chain transparency. About 25% are fast-tracking automation to stem worker shortages.
Steve Schulz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Logistics & Supply Chain Management at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, said the program has taken a quick trajectory towards this technological revolution.
Understanding Accuracy
Food, consumer products, packaging, and nearly everything involves the use of bulk solids at some point during their manufacturing. In the retail world, inventory record accuracy costs an average loss of revenue of 1.75%. Their suppliers also suffer up to 0.73% loss of revenue.
In a world of Industry 4.0 and block chain practices, inventory measurement discrepancies undermine inventory control, makes ordering decisions ineffective, and results in poor delivery and higher inventory costs. Learn how accuracy can be attained with BinMaster products.
IoT and Sensor Selection
IoT (Internet of Things) is booming. It prescribes a wireless network of devices embedded with sensors for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data.
BinMaster technology falls into the IoT world with continuous sensors and cloud-based software that monitors bulk inventory products like grain, plastic pellets, and aggregates stored in bins, silos, and other storage vessels.
