McBrides fit Silos with Rontec Data Collection System
Robert McBride Ltd of Bradford is an established international company,
with significant manufacturing operations throughout Europe specialising
in private label and contract manufacturing of laundry, household cleaning
and personal care products.
McBrides have installed data collection systems to four 35 tonne silos. These are contained in a single cabinet housing a computer that logs full details of all intakes and discharges of materials and transmits them to some computers in the office over the factory and office network. This arrangement allows staff
to monitor the state of the silo levels from strategic points on the premises and this helps them with the planning of deliveries and collections.
In addition the tanker drivers are issued with weightickets from a roll printer in the cabinet adjacent
to the silos.
