497 view(s) Digital Tranformation in Bulk Inventory E-Book
Not long ago, bulk material management involved dirty clipboards, dangerous climbing, and long tape measures to determine grain, plastic, and cement levels in a bin or silo. Enter digital transformation which replaces antiquated processes using high-tech instruments like BinMaster level sensors and cloud software.
Digital transformation improves supply chain resilience, automation, accuracy, and efficiency, benefiting people effectively collaborating in a digital system.
BinMaster technology fits into the category of Internet of Things (IoT) which describes a wireless network of devices embedded with sensors for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data.IoT is automating manual tasksin the manufacturing industry.
IoT inventory sensors and software:
> Provide insights for data-driven decisions. Increase efficiency and drive down costs
> Shorten lead times for production
> Reduce carrying costs and last-minute purchases
> Reduces waste on bulk inventory that could spoil
> Integrates inventory data to Enterprise Resource Planning systems
> Streamlines transportation and timely ordering
> Requires less labor and guesswork

308 view(s) Bin Level Measurement Transformed by IoT
Many feed mills, grain storage facilities, and pet food plants are big in size and small on staff. Making bin inventory management available anywhere anytime enables people to be more efficient in their jobs. Today, a simple log into a website using an app or Software as a Service program puts real-time data in front of people who need it to make timely decisions. Improvements in processing efficiency, ordering, and delivery schedules, eliminating material shortages, and reducing carrying costs are just a few of the benefits of monitoring bin levels while on-site or off-premises. Automated alerts via text or email allow for proactive actions that can add to a mill’s bottom line.

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.”

Islands in the Caribbean endure plenty of weather events, but Hurricane Maria in 2017 was particularly damaging to Puerto Rico. According to their government, the water system—114 municipal water treatment plants—was severely damaged, leaving about half of the residents without water. Extra funding and attention to long-term solutions include water level storage sensors and software by BinMaster.

867 view(s) Danger Lurks on Ladders, Measure Cement with Sensors and Software
According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, every year, more than 500,000 people are treated for ladder-related injuries. 300 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 then send data to a cloud-based application for use by operations, maintenance, transportation, and supply departments. Let’s look at ways a major U.S. concrete company proactively boosted safety for their people...

243 view(s) Binventory® has Hart. One Login. One Password. One Inventory Report.
According to Forbes, more than 54 percent of all manufacturers have instituted or launched a smart factory initiative. Smart factories call for asset tracking, intelligent RFID, and sensors to lower costs, provide advanced analytics and make data cloud accessible. The rate of implementation is happening at a dizzying rate often leaving operations with a hodge-podge of log-ins, reports and tracking. BinMaster sensors and software have been a mainstay for smart factories for decades (before the term smart factory was fashionable). We know, and we helped build, the smart factory movement. First with eBob, now, with Binventory, that hodge-podge of data can all get pulled into one easy-to-decipher inventory report.
Binventory
> Works with 3DLeveScanner, SmartBob, ultrasonic, and pressure sensors
> View data for an individual vessel, a select group of vessels, or all vessels
> Activate instant readings or program automatic measurements

Using a phone to shut your garage, turn on lights, adjust a thermostat or even connect a car radio to play Spotify, you’re engaged in Internet of Things (IoT). Businesses are quickly getting on board with IoT to save time, share data and enhance decisions. BinMaster creates systems based on IoT. BinMaster sensors gather data on bulk inventory, send data to a cloud-based application called BinCloud which can be accessed by multiple people for production, purchasing and planning purposes.
