| Summary |
| |
|
| The Bellboy Total Product Management System allows the contents of tanks or bulk material storage vessels to be monitored worldwide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system provides an accurate measurement of consignment stock and can provide a run route for re-stocking. |
|
| Description |
| |
The Bellboy low cost measuring system uses a specially designed pressure tranducer/ultrasonic sensor or existing loadcells, accurately displaying the amount of liquid or powder held in up to 4 storage vessels, to an accuracy of ± 0.5%. Bellboy updates at least once every 12 hours all levels of each vessel to a remote database hosted on a secure server for the product supplier or user to interrogate as required. Bellboy will also notify the database if a vessel has had a delivery and the quantity delivered, including time and date.
The product supplier can, with internet access, use a web based application from a workstation in their office to securely and remotely access a series of reports giving vital management information regarding their stock levels and delivery information. The product supplier can offer to provide access for customers to view their own vessels as a value added service.
Bellboy can be preset to provide a great deal of critical information in real time. For example, any unusual increase in product usage can show an alert in the usage trend indicator, thus highlighting which vessels will need filling before a predicted date. This enables operators to plan delivery run routes, input available delivery fleet vehicles and calculate highly economic delivery schedules, with great cost saving to the company.
Bellboy can be integrated with automated billing systems giving the supplier a
seamless stock control, logistics planning and invoicing package and can be run on a secure need-to-know basis with multiple users.
