Bulk and Solid Inventory Management
Silo inventory management presents many challenges and
opportunities for manufacturers in a broad range of
industries.
Reduce Operating Costs
Automating the inventory management can quickly repay the
cost by reducing or eliminating many of these costs:
Material Outages - Exhausting all raw materials is
devastating to all involved in company. Lost Production costs
are measured by missed shipping schedules and lost orders in
the future.
Safety Inventory - This is the just-in-case
inventory to meet production requirements. This cost can be
eliminated by an automated inventory management.
Emergency Deliveries - When you run out of raw
materials, the material cost increases from expedited delivery
fees.
Return Partially Full Trucks - If you don't know how
much raw material your silo has room for you may have to
return a partially full load.
Insurance - The cost to insure the employee that has
to climb the silo and take manual silo measurements.
Workman's Compensation - If the employee becomes
injured or disabled performing the Silo level measurements.
Overfills - Cleanup and disposal of contaminated
materials.
Labor - The cost of the employee salary to take the
silo measurements.
