- Certified cloud service meeting the highest security and data protection requirements.
The storage of liquids plays an important role in many industries. Liquid fertilizers or irrigation systems for agriculture, additives as well as cleaning agents for the food industry or liquefiers for the production of concrete are only a few examples. Usually, plastic tanks are used for this purpose. In order to ensure continuous production and prevent downtime, the liquids must always be available in sufficient quantities. This is where level measurement is used.
Plastic tanks are often located at remote sites and widely dispersed geographically. An increasing number of tanks lead to an even more complex measuring task. In more than 80 % of all production plants, level measurement is done manually. This type of manual monitoring is both time and cost intensive. So, very often, this results in missing stocks only being registered when the tank has already run empty, and the production process has come to a halt. Clearly, a better solution is needed.
