You can use the Wilsen.sonic.level sensor system to remotely monitor and manage the fill levels of silos, tanks, and containers. This is possible due to Pepperl+Fuchs’ IoT sensor that has an integrated ultrasonic measurement. This sensor is battery operated and hence can be used in mobile containers. The data of the fill levels is recorded at fixed intervals and then uploaded along with the current geolocation to the Internet.
This Wilsen sonic level sensor system is useful in various wireless networks. For public mobile networks, a product version with a GSM (2G) interface exists. For private low-power wireless networks, a LoRaWAN interface exists. These radio interfaces transmit sensor data to the Internet.
On the basis of the selected wireless standard, the Internet has an appropriate remote location for the incoming sensor data. LoRaWAN devices send their telemetry data to any LoRa network operator’s Network and Application Server.
The Wilsen.service system concept handles the decoding and the targeted forwarding of the sensor data and secure and convenient device management. The advantage is that this is useful when several IoT sensors are used in later practical operation and automation is essential for logging on to the wireless network and allocating the proper users.
The Wilsen device management facilitates the IoT sensors’ automated application parameterization and a structured roll-out for software updates for assurance that the myriad IoT sensors are updated. The Wilsen concept consists of a modular IoT system to which it is feasible to add individual components such as data processing, middleware, network nodes, and sensor modules.
