 The app helps to track real-time inflow of raw materials and outflow of finished products parameters for the alert to maintain an appropriate level of stock.

Buyofuel, India’s top biofuel marketplace, announced the launch of the Buyo Inventory App to transform biofuel inventory management. Biofuel manufacturers, suppliers, and traders face enormous challenges in managing raw material inflow, finished product outflow, production schedule, and machinery maintenance in an increasingly competitive market. Gallery Buyo Inventory App Solution minimizes such pain areas and provides a more efficient, scalable, and sustainable solution for smooth inventory management. Inventory management has been a longstanding issue in the biofuel industry, given cost and timing issues, like stock mismanagement or overproduction of biofuels, material wastage from production processes such as fermentation, and unplanned downtime of machinery. To address these challenges, Buyofuel introduces the Buyo Inventory App to optimise operations and improve inventory management within the biofuel industry. The Buyo Inventory App is available for download across leading app stores and can be easily integrated into operating processes.

The Buyo Inventory App comes with numerous features that are specifically designed for biofuel distributors and producers. It helps to Track Real-time inflow of raw materials and outflow of finished products parameters for the alert to maintain an appropriate level of stock. This feature assists in minimizing overstocking or shortages to maintain smooth operations. Furthermore, the app integrates into machinery maintenance schedules and production capacity, helping ensure parts are available when needed, and minimizing downtime. It’s easy-to-navigate interface leads to rapid adoption of the platform across teams, even if they are at different operational levels. Its versatility in different kinds of businesses supports active adaptation to different biofuel processes. With vast experience in the biofuel business, Buyofuel developed the Buyo Inventory App to provide added value to bio fuel producers and suppliers.

Building this app after learning about the challenges of trying to improve things in the industry, the app works with the other Buyofuel tools to provide a single dashboard that can run everything. It can also be adapted to all types of biofuels processes as it can use rice husks, bagasse, groundnut shells, and other biomass feedstocks. Benefits such as cost efficiency also fall into this category, as the ability to optimize for machines and spare parts helps reduce waste and make production more productive by minimizing downtime. Moreover, it encourages sustainability by optimizing inventory management and minimizing the carbon footprint.

 Kishan Karunakaran, Founder & CEO of Buyofuel said, “The Buyo Inventory App is a key milestone for the biofuel sector. It is intended to streamline inventory management and enable biofuel companies to run more cost-efficiently. Its powerful features and intuitive interface help users streamline operations, reduce waste, and improve overall profitability.” The app can be adapted immediately by biofuel manufacturers and suppliers to reap the benefits of more robust inventory control and improved operational productivity. The new solution is the latest step in Buyofuel’s emphasis on innovation and sustainability that enables the biofuel sector to implement intelligent technologies that drive growth and help deliver a greener tomorrow. Technology reviews Buyofuel is a leading platform dedicated to transforming the biofuel industry through innovative solutions. With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, Buyofuel connects biofuel producers, suppliers, and consumers to create a seamless ecosystem for biofuel trade and management.”

India’s cement production capacity is expected to reach 550 MT by 2025. The cement demand is estimated to touch 419.92 MT by FY 2027 driven by the expanding demand of different sectors, i.e., housing, commercial construction, and industrial construction. Given that the cement industry heavily relies on fossil fuels for production, there is an urgent need to transition to sustainable, green, and renewable fuel options, such as biofuels, to transform the cement industry into a low-carbon emitting industry. The use of biofuels in the cement industry can offer a range of benefits for farmers, including additional revenue streams, waste reduction, improved soil health, and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.

Rapid development and urbanisation have propelled India’s economic progress on an upward trajectory. The Indian government has made significant investments in large-scale infrastructure projects in recent times, aiming to boost connectivity and create new avenues for revenue generation and employment opportunities.

With growing industrialisation and a burgeoning population, there is an increasing need to build robust infrastructure across the country to meet demands and cater to the needs of the people. This infrastructure push has resulted in a domino effect across various industries, with the cement industry being particularly prominent among them.

India, the second largest cement manufacturer globally, is experiencing a surge in cement demand, leading cement producers to ramp up their manufacturing capacity.  For example, in 2022, India constructed 12,000 kilometres of highways, and the demand for housing continues to rise. The housing sector alone accounts for 60-65 per cent of India’s cement consumption, and as a result of these factors, predictions indicate that cement production is expected to grow by approximately 6-8 per cent in 2023-24. The infrastructure push is expected to catapult cement consumption and demand in the country. However, it is crucial to note that this growth also presents the challenge of ensuring sustainability in the long term with minimal environmental impact.

India has committed to achieving a net-zero economy by 2070 and has set a target of meeting 50 per cent of its electricity needs from renewables by 2030. Given that the cement industry heavily relies on fossil fuels for cement production, there is an urgent need to transition to sustainable, green, and renewable fuel options, such as biofuels, to transform the cement industry into a low-carbon emitting industry.

According to the available data, the cement industry is responsible for 8 per cent of global CO2 emissions. It is also a significant source of pollutants, including dust, particulate matter, and hazardous gases such as NOx (nitrogen oxides), SOx (sulphur oxides), carbon dioxide, methane, and others. However, on a positive note,  cement manufacturers have recognised the importance of mitigating carbon-emitting practices and investing in greener options, such as biomass briquettes, to reduce their carbon footprint, decrease dependency on fossil fuels, improve efficiency, and gain cost-related advantages.
