The ResinView™ software-as-a-service (SaaS) and level sensors from BinMaster provides automated inventory solutions to the plastics sector. It makes purchasers more effective, ensures the safety of plant personnel while climbing silos and enhances processing efficiency by invariably having the right resins on hand.
The ResinView™ SaaS can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, like offices, a control room and also from remote locations, like corporate headquarters or home. The ResinView™ SaaS can be set up to view data the way users need it, such as by alert status, percent full, location, or material.
Simplicity and Savings
The ResinView™ SaaS is highly affordable and easy to work with. The Cloud-based subscription program is based on the number of silos being tracked, which amounts to only a few dollars per silo a month.
The ResinView™ SaaS does not need an IT expert to manage or install the program. Updates are done by BinMaster, who also offers the required training and ongoing support.

Streamlines the Supply Chain
The ResinView™ SaaS inventory management software can send automated alerts through email or text. This allows plants to make sure that hoppers or silos never run empty and disrupt production. It helps monitor trends, view order history and place orders. Users can schedule delivery trucks confidently, knowing that the whole load will be fit into the silo.

Providing access to resin suppliers using vendor-managed inventory enables them to be proactive in making sure that supplies are sufficient, preventing shortages.
Level Sensors Deliver Accuracy
The ResinView™ software can be used with different types of level sensors. Various forms of resins, like granular, flake, powder and liquid, need different types of sensors. Lasers, non-contact radars and SmartBobs are used for monitoring resins. The ResinView™ can be installed easily with battery-powered sensors, even when there is no power in the bin.
The ResinView™ SaaS can be used with sensors using analog Modbus, or 4-20 mA, or HART outputs.
