Here are real-life examples of how BinCloud® can help most any industry storing materials in bins, tanks, or silos.

Feed: By projecting consumption growers can better manage rations, eliminate feed outages, late delivery charges, and ensure there is less feed leftover at closeout to reduce vacuuming and disposal charges.

Plastics: Real-time monitoring of resins going into the production process, improved supply chain management using vendor managed inventory with resin suppliers, optimizing scheduling of deliveries.

Cement: Centralized monitoring of multiple batch plant locations, improved logistics and scheduling of drivers’ routes, ensuring entire truckload with fit into silos, improved coordination with fly ash suppliers.

Food Processing: Managing inventory of raw ingredient, WIP, and finished product silos, leveraging buying power by ordering for multiple plants on a single contract, batch processing of foodstuffs.

Fertilizer: Tracking inventory of solid, powder, and liquids chemicals, using historical reporting to track inventory turns and carrying costs, preparing for seasonal production and distribution.

Chemicals: Tracking inventory of regulated chemicals, ensuring chemicals are used before shelf-life expires to reduce disposal costs, creating an automated audit trail of chemical usage.

Wood Pulp Paper: Pellet production facilities, hog fuel storage bins, emptying sawdust bins to prevent production stoppages, ensure pulp, water, and bleach level levels are adequate for paper production, managing mill-to-mill transfers.

Agriculture: Optimizing capacity of storage bins, preparing audits and USDA reporting, eliminating spreadsheets at grain elevators, valuing grains, oilseeds, and other commodities for export, railcar logistics.

Propane: Historical reporting to project impact of weather on consumption, supplying planning for storage facilities, tracking stored propane at multiple depot locations, routing of commercial and residential deliveries.
