Wireless Inventory Network Minimizes Costs, Complexity
Advanced inventory management systems are essential for efficient, well-informed operations. These solutions typically consist of level sensors, network devices, and integration with house controls, on-site digital displays, and/or IoT software.
Automated sensors eliminate tedious manual measurements and ensure employee safety. Workers can easily prevent overfills, ensure continuous material supply, and anticipate replenishment when bulk material runs low in bins, tanks, or silos.
However, the complexity—and costs—of inventory systems accumulate quickly, especially when multi-site management is required or when planning for future scalability.
At the heart of wireless industrial inventory systems are network gateways that collect level measurements, convert data to the appropriate protocol, and deliver information to the user’s choice of display interfaces.
A wireless, long-range (LoRa) transmission-based gateway—such as BinMaster’s LTX-100—simplifies system layouts, eliminates the need for expensive wiring and electrician visits, and greatly reduces costs.
Fundamentals of the All-in-One Gateway
The LTX-100 gateway is suitable for new or existing systems in any liquid or solid bulk processing industry. Its compact size, affordable price, and modular design ensure flexibility and the ability to serve operations of any size.
An LTX-100 device continuously transmits data from sensors to ensure timely inventory delivery. During wireless operation, the device utilizes LoRa to transmit data up to one mile line-of-sight to another LTX.
