Measure Volume in a Wedge or Pie-Shape Silo For operators, having accurate data about the amount and dollar value of material on hand can help reduce safety stock, increase inventory turns, and pay for itself by freeing up spend that could be tied up in inventory. Operations that manage inventory in pie-shaped silo segments now have a solution that provides accurate volume data thanks to the ...
The cost of storing materials—along with related salaries, transportation, handling, taxes, insurance, depreciation, and shrinkage—could add up to 10-30% of total inventory costs, according to Investopedia. ...
Super cement producers care about people, products, and profit. 3D scanners, laser, and radar technologies ensure accurate monitoring of product levels. No manufacturer wants to risk a bad batch due to missing materials. That's where sensors come in. Cement manufacturers find non-contact level sensors attractive for several reasons: ...
Although helpful, it’s likely you don’t have time to digest full-line brochures and long-winded product articles to determine which bin level sensors your operations need. BinMaster is here to arm you with high-level knowledge about your options and what to consider before calling someone—or us—to discuss your needs. Being prepared will pay off, easily helping you rule ...
Silos full. Conveyors humming. Trucks on time. What could go wrong? Inventory measurements could—and often do—cause trouble. A cost controller says, “there is no way your material measurements are right. You said we had 120,000 cubic feet of material at the end of May. Based on sales and deliveries, you should have been closer to 7,700 cubic feet." Dropping a tape to measure ...
Advanced control systems and automation technologies optimize crane operations, reducing energy consumption and minimizing idle times. ...
The dual-axis air speed sensor from FT Technologies adopts a digital anemometer-based solution by being able to estimate airspeed incoming from any direction using an innovative acoustic resonance-based technology. ...
A CAUTIONARY CASE STUDY: MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, USA Investor-owned & municipal utilities may experience catastrophic damage if it relies on Untethered Acoustic Ball technology to locate leaks. As shown below, the inspection of a 10,000-feet (3km) of 36-inch (913mm) diameter Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP), gave a clean-bill-of-health with ...
As one of the first SL-RAT adopters, Augusta Utilities integrated acoustic technology to address a consent decree by the Georgia Environmental Protection ...
No moving parts, low wear and long service life. Using acoustic wave phase compensation technology, high precision and fast response speed. Using random error recognition technology. Even under strong winds, the low dispersion error of the measurement can be ensured, and the output can be more stable. ...
Additionally, the nature of the environment that these structures operate in bring significant challenges to traditional acoustic or optical systems. It is becoming painfully obvious to these sectors that communication, monitoring and navigational technology and systems must be updated to provide operators with automated and reliable access to data in real ...

Real-Time Data on Land Has Been a Lot Easier to Do Than Under the Water The same cannot be said for ocean industries, where much of the data is underwater and getting it from point A to point B reliably in adverse conditions and then to a central data processing point on shore has been challenging with traditional technologies such as cable, acoustic and optical. ...

CANT TOUCH THESE NON-CONTACT LEVEL SENSORSFood manufacturers find non-contact level sensors attractive for a number of reasons. Of course, since nothing comes into contact with the material, there’s no risk of equipment interfering with the process or rogue parts breaking off and getting stuck in equipment, or contaminating ingredients intended for human consumption. Plus, they provide continuous ...
A major plastics production plant needed to closely monitor bulk inventory to avoid production delays. The plant provided a variety of products fed from plastic pellet storage silos. The Problem: The plant juggled multiple types, colors, and densities of raw materials to meet production demand. Some bulk inventory was customer-owned Inventory, while other raw materials were company-owned. ...
We’ve seen some of the fastest changes in technology in the last two years. Could the traditional way we measure and monitor noise be about to change forever too? Cirrus Research discusses the benefits cloud technology offers to noise measurement.Look around your home or office. ...
Miniaturized photoacoustic gas sensor based on patented interferometric readout and novel photonic integration technologies. A new European consortium, MINIGAS, led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, is developing a miniature gas sensor to detect greenhouse ...
You should calibrate your sound level meter using an acoustic calibrator that also meets the current Class 2 requirements for acoustic calibrators. ...
Where did the idea for acoustic inspection technology come from? What makes the SL-RAT a valuable tool for collection systems maintenance? How has the technology developed with time? InfoSense’s CEO, Alex Churchill, answers these questions and many more in an interview with Municipal Sewer and ...
It is by bringing the full suite of technologies together – measuring pressure, flow, acoustics and anything else relevant and available – that operators can get a broader view of potential water loss and risk to supply continuity. Permanent logging The UK has seen a significant shift to permanent installations of acoustic logging ...
