Solutions for Real-Time Bulk Material Inventory for Cement - Construction & Construction Materials - Cement
Scheduling trucks and deliveries is more challenging than ever before. Managers, plant operators, dispatchers, and drivers all need to be on the same page. CementView®, paired with level sensors, tracks aggregates, cement, clinker, sand, fly ash, and additives. BinMaster continuous and point-level sensors measure silos, hoppers, and bins. Real-time measurements constantly update on your phone or PC. Cement sensors streamline inventory replenishment, slash carrying costs, and give employees unparalleled visibility.
Improve companywide operational surveillance
Plants located miles apart send inventory data to CementView for viewing on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Measure through dusty material
Measuring dusty bulk material is a challenge unless operators choose non-contact sensors like BinMaster radars. Radars ignore dust to accurately read material levels.
Streamline delivery schedules
Dispatchers can face nightmares with cargo pickups from various locations and delivery hubs combined with restricted truck times.
Control expenses
Get a better handle on expenses, from inventory procurement to fuel and the distribution of concrete at multiple construction sites.
Portland Cement
This fine cement powder is produced by heating limestone and clay minerals in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding gypsum and other additives to produce cement.
Precast Plant
Precast plants cast, compact, and cure concrete in reusable molds, beds, or forms to make blocks, panels, steps, beams, pillars, and other premade components for construction.
Bagging Plants
AKA as a cement packing plant or cement rotary packer, is a facility that bags cement and other powdery materials such as Quikrete® or Sakrete® for retail sale.
Ready Mix Plants
A batch plant combines raw materials including sand, water, aggregate, and cement, to create ready-mix concrete. CementView ensures an on-hand inventory of ingredients for proper batching.
Concrete Terminals
- Truckload Management: Manage inventory and deliveries by truckloads to ensure timely replenishment.
- Dynamic Cement Market: Cement prices and availability can fluctuate, impacting project budgets and timelines.
- Material Shortages: Depleted cement supply can halt construction progress. BinMaster mitigates the risk of material scarcity.
- How Digital Bulk Inventory Benefits Cement Navigate Supply Chain Hurdles: Overcome logistical complexities and ensure uninterrupted schedules.
- Streamline Documentation: Say goodbye to manual paperwork, spreadsheets, and unreliable processes.
- Supply Chain Optimization: Stay agile amid changing project demands and uncertain lead times.
Equipment Monitoring
From dry mix concrete plants to central mix concrete, BinMaster sensors measure material in a silo and deliver data to bulk cement inventory software called CementView.
Monitor Conveyors
Cement manufacturing plants can monitor for overloaded or empty conveyors using non-contact radar level sensors or tilt switches. Some indicators can be set to turn off conveyors preventing overfills.
Truck & Railcar Scheduling
Transit mixers are the heart of any cement operation. BinMaster systems can estimate the number of truckloads of material on hand, helping to optimize scheduling of deliveries and drivers.
Vendor Managed Inventory
Visibility of materials can lead to automated processes like vendor managed inventory. Share CementView with suppliers and provide rules for ordering materials.
Batch Control, Flow
Point level sensors like rotaries or vibrating rods detect high or low levels in silos. Flow detect alerts to flow or no flow conditions in feeders and conveying systems.
BinMaster`s inventory system for the concrete industry streamlines material procurement and control. Amp up safety measures and master supply chain coordination, yielding solid returns on investment and continous inventory tracking.
