Detect high or low material levels early, without climbing or manual checks
Safety Solutions for Bulk Material Storage and Monitoring
Safety is a critical concern in facilities that store and manage bulk solids or liquids. Climbing bins, entrapment, working around moving equipment, and responding to unexpected overfills or material shortages can expose employees to unnecessary risk.
BinMaster level sensors, BinTrac® weighing systems, and inventory monitoring software help improve plant safety by automating measurements, reducing manual checks, and providing real-time visibility of inventory levels.
Eliminate the Need to Climb Bins and Silos
Manual level checks often require employees to climb ladders, access the top of bins, tanks, or silos, and open heavy hatches.
Inventory management systems reduce worker exposure to fall hazards, lifting injuries, confined spaces, and unstable walking surfaces.
BinMaster level sensors automatically measure material levels and transmit data to local displays or inventory software.
Operators can monitor levels from a control room, office, or mobile device, eliminating the need to climb vessels and significantly reducing workplace risk.
Prevent Overfills and Equipment Damage
Overfilled bins and tanks can create serious safety hazards, including structural stress, blocked ventilation, or material spills that threaten workers and equipment.
Point level sensors provide high-level alarms that alert operators when vessels approach capacity.
These sensors function as a safety backup to continuous level monitoring systems, helping prevent spills, product loss, and costly cleanup while protecting plant infrastructure.
Improve Safety with Weight Monitoring Systems
BinTrac weighing systems improve safety by measuring inventory through load cells installed beneath a vessel’s structure.
Because the system measures weight externally, employees do not need to climb or access the vessel to verify inventory levels.
Weight monitoring is especially useful for feed bins, ingredient storage, and bulk material vessels, where accurate measurement helps prevent unexpected outages, emergency refills, or manual inspections that could create unsafe conditions.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility Improves Operational Safety
Inventory monitoring software provides a centralized view of material levels across bins, tanks, and silos.
With real-time alerts and automated reporting, operators can quickly respond to changing inventory conditions before they create operational or safety problems.
Prevent unexpected production interruptions due to overfills, dry runs, or plugged chutes
Ensure livestock receives feed as required and eliminate out-of-feed events
Reduce manual inspection tasks
Improve coordination between plant personnel and suppliers
Allow sensors to take on tedious duties in order to optimize labor
