Inventory Management Software Compatible with HART Sensors

Binventory® monitors levels of solid & liquids

Listen to this article

Is opening multiple programs or going to a PLC or HMI to get all the data you need to manage silo inventory a hassle? Would it be easier if all your data were in one place for all your level sensors?

Plants can manage level data from all vessels with one program. Binventory® is an advanced inventory management software from BinMaster. Monitor the level of solids or liquids in bins, tanks, or silos from one platform. Binventory® is a highly affordable, one-time purchase of inventory tracking for any size operation.

Binventory® is now compatible with sensors using the HART® protocol or Modbus® output. Binventory® works with many types of sensors including non-contact-radar and guided wave radar used for level measurement.

The software allows for bulk densities and strapping tables to be entered for solids, while entering specific gravity for liquid tanks ensures spot-on volumes. Complex vessels of different shapes and sizes are easily configured, such as horizontal tanks, split silos, and non-linear tanks.

Program automated alerts, access real-time inventory levels, and generate historical reports from up to 255 vessels on your PC or tablet. Share access to Binventory® with vendors using VMI and authorised users in production, purchasing, and finance. It is simple to use and requires no special training or support. It eliminates emailing reports and reduces interruptions to the workday.

Binventory® can be used at one location or across an entire company using its multi-site feature. It requires access to a company LAN, WAN or VPN. Current readings from a vessel are generated by simply clicking on the “get reading” button. This advanced software saves time and eliminates the need to climb silos to measure each bin, making it safer while optimising inventory levels and storage capacity.

About us

Garner Industries Lincoln Nebraska USA  BinMaster/Garner Industries is located in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.

Operations that struggle with the challenges of inventory management and timely replenishment of all types of powders, bulk solids, or liquids can monitor silo levels on their smartphone, tablet, or desktop with complete solutions from BinMaster. A complete suite of continuous level sensors, point level indicators, material management, and inventory monitoring devices and software simplifies material management while keeping people safe from the risks of climbing silos.

The Lincoln Nebraska, USA company manufactures sensors and software used for monitoring levels in bins, tanks, silos, chutes, and hoppers. Continuous level measurement options include SmartBob cable-based, guided wave radar, laser and 80 GHz non-contact radar, which are all compatible with Binventory™ software. Battery-powered, wireless laser level sensors are compatible with BinView® or FeedView® web apps for remote monitoring.

The unique 3DLevelScanner measures and maps material for volume accuracy and is the only sensor to generate a 3D image of silo contents. BinMaster is the exclusive worldwide supplier of this unique technology and has commissioned these sensors in bins containing powders and solids for over a decade.

Point level indicators provide automated level alerts using rotaries, diaphragm switches, capacitance probes, tilt switches, and vibrating rod level sensors. Dust detection devices alert to baghouse leaks and unsafe particulate levels. Flow detection sensors prevent cross contamination and assist with FSMA compliance for human and animal feeds. Aeration devices keep powders and solids flowing so they don’t pack in hoppers, along bin walls, or in the cone of the vessel

Robust, custom systems can be developed for a single site or networked for every bin, tank, and silo across a multi‐national operation. Add Stockpile Reports for pile inventory using images from an iPhone or drone to a SaaS dashboard. Monitor livestock feed inventory from a phone, tablet, or PC with the FeedView® web application.

BinMaster is US manufacturer certified to ISO 9001 quality management systems – requirements. For more information about BinMaster, visit www.binmaster.com.
