EQUIPMENT GALLERY APRIL 2016 • E&MJ; 85 www.e-mj.com accuracy for distances up to 4 km (2.5 miles). Its long-range capabilities, com- bined with high resolution and fast scan time, enables the device to provide reli- able, fast alarm responses. The addition of IBIS-FM support in Trimble 4D Con- trol software 4.5 can trigger early warning detection of slope instability to improve safety for workers in open-pit mines. www.trimble.com IoT System for Bulk Material Measurement and Monitoring BinMaster and Device Solutions an- nounced a strategic alliance that they claim will "revolutionize" remote moni- toring, allowing customers storing bulk materials to monitor and manage data from all types of sensors for properties such as level, temperature, moisture, hu- midity or fl ow and be alerted when pre- determined thresholds have been met. The backbone of the system is a wireless communication device based upon the Cellio IIoT platform developed by Device Solutions that BinMaster will market as BinCom, in which transceivers and gate- ways send data from sensors to cloud- based application software. The BinMas- ter BinCom device roadmap will offer a variety of models compatible with Cellular CDMA, Cellular GSM, Wi-Fi or Ethernet communication platforms. Remote data monitoring can be done via a PC, tab- let, or smartphone and can be set up to send automated alerts via email or SMS text. Device Solutions has developed fl ex- ible dashboards that can be customized by users and by the type of sensor data they wish to monitor. BinCom is compat- ible with a variety of BinMaster sensors or currently installed sensors supplied by BinMaster or other manufacturers. The standard BinCom interfaces include both analog and digital, and support 0-5VDC, 4-20 mA, dry contacts, Modbus and RS- 485 outputs. The BinCom data monitor- ing and asset tracking solutions will be of- fered by BinMaster as complete systems including sensors, BinCom transceivers, gateways and asset trackers, cloud-based services and other options. www.binmaster.com THE WORLD'S MOST TRUSTED REMOTE CONTROL
