Access storage-tank level data from anywhere
Introduced early last year, the Micropilot FWR30 (photo) is said to be the world’s first 80GHz wireless IIoT (industrial internet of things) sensor. The continuously recorded measurement data can be accessed at any time and from anywhere via the device’s cloud connection. Communication is made possible by an integrated SIM card. Installation is simple and can be done in less than three minutes. This compact device is suitable for stackable tanks and enables a plug-and-play solution for flexible and easy installation. In addition to the measured level, the user receives information on the location of their storage tanks and containers via local mobile phone masts, enabling users to optimize logistic and storage processes and save valuable time by providing continuous and easy access to inventory information. The free-radiating measuring device covers measuring ranges up to 15 m and temperatures between –20 and 60°C. — Endress+Hauser, Greenwood, Ind.
