BinMaster: Collaborate on Development of BinLink Remote Wireless Monitoring Solution
BinMaster Level Controls and Digi International (www.binmaster.com) have collaborated on the development of BinMaster’s BinLink Web-based bin, tank and silo monitoring solution. The solution enables remote wireless inventory management of stored material from any PC with Internet access. This saves customers time and money by eliminating the need for on-site remote bin level measurements. The solution includes BinMaster SmartBob2 and SmartBob-TS1 
sensors mounted on the bins and a Digi Connectport™ X gateway running the SmartBob application to provide bin level measurement data that can be accessed easily via the Internet.
“BinMaster’s customers have been seeking an integrated, turnkey solution that allows them to access bin material levels via the Internet whether they are on site, off site or in the corporate office. The Digi gateway provides the critical interface between the SmartBob sensors and the BinLink Internet-based software,” stated Todd Peterson, vice president of sales for BinMaster. With BinLink, users can view inventory data on demand or receive automated alerts to their cell phone, PDA or computer when bin conditions meet user-defined thresholds.
BinMaster is an iDigi Tank Monitoring Solution Partner. Digi ConnectPort X gateways enable centralized data collection and when integrated into the BinLink solution can be used by any type of business that desires remote bin management for one to hundreds of bins for one or many sites. BinMaster’s customers span cement, aggregates, mining, plastics, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, ethanol and biofuels processing.
