ART software from Ronin GMS

IT in Manufacturing
ART is the RoninGMS (Grain Management Solutions) proprietary software platform that powers its inventory management solutions.
ART was developed to incorporate all grading criteria and daily transactional information from clients into a complete and comprehensive stock management solution. Various in-bin laser architectures coupled with the ART software platform enable accurate and continuous measurement of physical stock within storage facilities, including silos, bins, bunkers and sheds.
Data gathered by the project specific in-bin architectures is processed through the ART software to give accurate volumetric measurements, tonnage and fill histories, as well as 3D graphical representations. Each storage vessel is configured manually by an operator for the particular commodity stored within it, with different grading criteria and bulk densities that can be updated at any time via the ART server on-site.
ART provides a complete stock management system to tally physical stockholding with book values of recorded commodities. It achieves this by integrating with existing software in order to enable book values to be recorded by the system platform. This makes it easier to reconcile book and physical stock as well as variance between the two.
Stock reports are readily available in Excel or Lotus formats shared on the network, allowing managers to track physical stock remotely on a PC along the entire logistics chain and in all storage vessels. ART helps ensure supply verifications and promotes complete control over stock including surplus/shortage management and deciding when to buy or sell.
