Automatic Pneumatic Tanker Unloading

Real-time Silo Level Information

Imagine how you would react if your boss one day presented you with an hour glass. He then explained that throughout the day, each time you wanted to start a new task, you were required to first turn the hour glass upside down and watch it until all the grains of sand slowly fell through to the bottom. As foolish as this sounds it is actually quite similar to the delivery method employed by many haulers of dry bulk products. Before drivers can move on to their next delivery they must first watch the tanker slowly unload. ACTS can help you implement an automatic tanker unloading system that will allow your drivers to replace this "waiting" time with driving time. Plugged lines and overfilled silos, due to unloading errors, can also be eliminated.
Imagine how you would react if you received a new vehicle and on your first test spin you glanced at the dashboard and noticed your vehicle had no fuel gauge. In place of the fuel gauge the vehicle was equipped with a red light to tell you when the fuel tank was full. Furthermore, the vehicle manufacturer recommends calculating your actual fuel level by manually adding up your fuel receipts and subtracting the mileage driven. This may sound ridiculous and yet this is exactly how many ready mix concrete and other manufacturing plants are managing their silo inventory today. ACTS can help you implement an inventory management system that will create a "window" into your process and allow you to see your real-time inventory levels.
