RECEIVING
Our receiving automation gives you the ability to have full control over incoming products into your facility. Traceability starts when the product enters the facility, and we keep track of the product from that point on. With the ability to control oiler systems to limit dust, auto-routing to open the correct bin gates, or set the tripper destination with our laser-controlled system, we track movement from the truck gate to the desired bin inside your facility.

Auto-Routing
-
Laser Controlled Tripper Placement

Dust Suppression
RECLAIM
A blending system only runs at its full efficiency if the product is coming into the blender at the same rate. Our predictive reclaim can not only show high and low levels in holding bins but can also show the operator the next three loads in the queue to be loaded. This capability gives the operator more visibility to what products are coming next to keep up with the blending demands.
Key Features
-
Predictive Reclaim Integration
-
Remote Tablet Controls in the Loader
-
Real-Time Bin Inventory
BLENDING
Each facility has its own blending needs which is why our automation is customizable by material blending type. Our automation system ensures the blend is sent out the door accurately and efficiently. With our patented automatic free-fall compensation, we can achieve a higher degree of accuracy for ingredients added to the blend. This allows you to move products out the door as quickly and accurately as possible.

TRUCK SCALE AND KIOSK INTERFACE
The truck scale and kiosk interface alleviate some of the day-to-day truck flow issues you may experience at your facility. Trucks now can pull up to a check-in kiosk, be routed to a loadout land, and start the blending process without getting out of the truck. After the load is complete, the truck can pull over a truck scale, if needed, to capture a loaded weight, sign for his loadout, and get a printed ticket all while staying in the cab of the truck.
Key Features

Inbound/Outbound Scale Interface
-
24/7 Unstaffed Receiving and Loadout

Camera, Intercom, Printer Options

RECEIVING
Our receiving automation gives you the ability to have full control over incoming products into your facility. Traceability starts when the product enters the facility, and we keep track of the product from that point on. With the ability to control valves, pumps, and measuring devices we can use our auto-routing functionality to open the correct valves and start the correct pumps to ensure the product is received into the correct tank. EAI can handle the product's full movement from the truck to the desired tank at your facility with the record-keeping you need.
