Predictive ordering enables production managers to compile history and use it to execute purchase orders for bulk materials. A Forbes Insights surveys of 306 executives showed ROI for predictive ordering:
- 86% of all enterprises that use predictive analytics for two years increased ROI across their enterprise.
- 37% of all businesses were planning to invest in predictive ordering and analytics.
Level sensors and sensors collect data from silos, bins, and tanks to ensure enough material is available for production. Measurements also ensure the vessels are not overfilled or run out. Using this model, BinMaster Level Controls has developed history and predictive reporting into its BinCloud software.
To be effective, predictive ordering relies on:
- Accurate measurements. BinMaster sensors can vary depending on materials. Radar, laser, and sonic technology is used to reveal material level and headspace.
- Up-to-date data. BinMaster sensors can be programmed to take measurements at regular intervals.
- Sufficient data. Are there enough measurements to determine a history of use to calculate an average daily use in order to predict future levels.
- Reaction and convenience. BinMaster software can be seen by multiple users on phones and PC.
The BinCloud software team has created, arguably the best level measurement software in the world.
“We’re committed to pushing our software as far as possible,” said Nolan Fast, BinMaster UI/UX Designer. “We’ve got a room full of programmers constantly creating ways to make our customers more effective.”
BinCloud rolls out software upgrades several times per year, Fast said, piloting new bulk inventory experiences like historical reporting and predictive trends. BinCloud users benefit with collaboration between departments, optimized transportation, strategic ordering, workforce utilization, and overall precise inventory management.
BinCloud users pick their silo or tank, define a timeline for material usage, and see a line graph of historical usage. BinCloud then automatically calculates daily use and provide a predictive timeline leading to a date when the vessel will go empty.
Advances in predictive bulk material use along with a connected team collaborating on a cloud-based bulk material report provides a strategic advantage to companies who look to compete and thrive in a new digital supply chain future,

About us
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.
