Remote Silo Level Monitoring for Cement Storage

Application Problem: A concrete pipe manufacture required a level sensor that could operate reliably in a very dusty cement storage silo.

Application History: Existing level devices were not reliable. In addition, they did not provide remote monitoring and virtual support.

Solution: ABM’s non-contact ultrasonic level sensor with cellular modem built-in was selected for the project. Remote communication allows the customer to have real-time access to their inventory level and complete control over their sensor. In addition, ABM provided virtual set-up support without travelling to the site or climbing on the tank. ABM technicians set up all parameters remotely including, calibration points, self-cleaning of the sensor, filters for solid materials, the time between measurements, data logging and many more. Technicians continue to monitor the sensor 24/7, providing peace of mind to the customer.
