Working in partnership with a leading piston bin and low viscosity bin (LVB) manufacturer River City Enterprises, Pathfindr can offer insights into the location, environmental data and fluid levels monitoring for grease bins, piston bins and low viscosity containers (LVC).
With Pathfindr’s smart piston bin solution, the fluid level, location, movement and temperature are accessed and displayed on a simple to use online platform. The data can also be exported to another system using our Restful API.
If not checked regularly, end users can run out of stock and this results in lubrication companies find themselves scrambling around trying to replenish stock. Our monitor immediately resolves this by automatically alerting you when the fluid level hits a certain threshold, then it can automatically start the replenishment process.
Since 1986, River City Enterprises has been a trusted provider of piston bins. Their 400-gallon poly piston bin is now a preferred choice for storing and handling lubricating greases, automotive undercoatings, silicon adhesives, and other thick products across North America, Europe, and beyond. Its rise in popularity can be attributed to its lightweight design and its ability to offer a straightforward solution for managing viscous materials. A single bin can take the place of up to eight drums, and its air-tight seal ensures efficient discharge while preserving the quality of the product.
These piston bins are not only reusable and returnable but also boast nearly 100% efficiency. They present a cost-effective alternative by reducing expenses related to drum waste, handling, and disposal.
End users often misplace their bins after they’ve been used, resulting in a lack of refillable bins available. This has a knock on effect and causes supply chain headaches and an increase in costs for lubricant companies and customers. Our smart solution enables end users to know exactly where their bins are in real-time through an online portal.
