Software for Bin Leveling

BinMaster Level Controls has released a new eBob software feature for SmartBob2 and SmartBob-TS1 sensors that support level measurement for non-linear vessels, such as bins with cone bottoms, horizontal tanks and mushroom-shaped tanks. The eBob software now offers the ability to input height-to-volume or weight data into a strapping table to allow the software to account for bin shapes or material properties such as non-linear vessels or compaction of material in the bin when generating measurement data. An unlimited number of entries can be made into the strapping table based on the type of data the user has available. The data can be entered in volume, such as bushels, or in weight, such as tons.
