Solutions / Monitor Tank Level from the Cloud
Monitor Tank Level from the Cloud
Monitoring tank levels accurately and reliably is critical across numerous industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, water treatment, and chemical processing. Accurate tank level measurements help ensure operational safety, optimize inventory management, reduce waste, prevent spills and overflows, and maintain regulatory compliance.Traditionally, monitoring tank levels required manual inspections and periodic data logging, often resulting in delays, inaccuracies, and significant operational risks, especially in remote or hazardous environments.
Transferring tank-level data to the cloud provides the advantage of real-time monitoring, historical data analysis, and immediate alerts accessible remotely from anywhere with internet access. However, transmitting reliable and accurate data to cloud systems can be challenging due to factors such as network connectivity issues, environmental interference, secure data handling, and integration complexity with existing infrastructure and cloud platforms.
Solution #1 -TL400 Level Sensor + DigiRail IOT WiFi + Novus Cloud
This solution combines the TL400 level sensor, the DigiRail IOT and Novus Cloud for a simple but reliable approach to cloud monitoring level data. The TL 400 is a powerful but low cost laser level sensor that works well on tanks up to 4 meters in height. It has a 4-20 mA output which can be transmitted to the Digirail IOT. The Digirail IOT WiFi connects to your wireless network and can send the data acquired through the TL400 to the Novus Cloud. It's not technically a "data logger", but it will store readings in it's internal memory to ensure continuity. The Novus Cloud allows for real time data monitoring via a variety of widgets like guages, charts, or even a cylinder widget designed for level applications. The Novus Cloud also offers basic reporting and alerting. With the purchase of a Novus Cloud connected device like the DigiRail IOT, you'll get one free year of Novus Cloud usage.
