Optimize Storage Capacity
Know material levels in any silo or tank at any time. Fully utilize storage capacity. Maintain uninterrupted supply of critical materials.
Mining Inventory Management Systems
BinMaster provides automated inventory management for mining operations using real-time level sensors, inventory software, and wireless communication.
BinMaster solutions measure ores, aggregates, sand, powders, liquids, and additives stored in silos, bins, tanks, crushers, and conveyors.
Continuous inventory visibility improves mine safety, reduces downtime, and supports efficient production and material handling across single, multi-site, or multi-national mining operations.
Improve Mine Safety & Productivity
Level Sensors & Inventory Systems for Mining
Automated level sensors eliminate manual measurement and reduce the need for workers to climb silos or tanks. Point-level sensors prevent overfills, while continuous level monitoring improves productivity and reduces labor requirements.
Accurately Measure Bulk Materials
Mining materials such as alumina, bentonite, lime, and frac sand often pile unevenly. 3DLevelScanners measure multiple surface points to calculate accurate material volumes where single-point sensors fall short.
Manage Large and Remote Mining Sites
Mining operations often span miles. Inventory from every silo, bin, or tank across all locations is accessible through a single login, providing centralized visibility of material availability.
Remote Inventory Monitoring
Wireless communication devices and BinCloud® software connect remote mines, storage areas, and distribution points. Anywhere there’s internet, inventory data is available.
How Sensors Optimize Mining Operations
Storage Silos
Measure ores, aggregates, sand, powders, and difficult materials in extreme dust and noisy conditions.
Rock Crushers
Monitor material levels in primary and secondary crushers to prevent clogging and equipment damage.
Additive and Reagent Storage
Measure solid, powder, and liquid additives, including flotation reagents, flocculants, lime, soda ash, and activated carbon.
Conveyor Belts
Detect material height to prevent overloading, blockages, and unsafe operation. Alert to empty conveyors.
Liquid Tanks
Monitor chemicals, thickeners, coolants, and benign and hazardous liquids with continuous level sensors.
How Sensors Streamline Mining Industry Processes
Reduce Operational Risks
Automated measurement eliminates hazardous climbing. Workers can be more productive without tedious spreadsheets.
Regulatory Compliance
Accurate inventory data supports environmental and regulatory reporting requirements for waste materials, tailings, and effluent.
Transportation & Logistics
Inventory software supports truck and railcar loading, helping mines manage outbound logistics efficiently.
