Want to learn more about how radar measurements work? Curious about radar sensors’ strengths and limitations? You’re in the right place! Senix’s compact non-contact radar sensors—or CNCRs—utilize an 80 GHz radar signal to gather level measurements of bulk solids and liquids. ...
Managing inventory and usage of bulk materials—grain, feed, powders, pellets, raw ingredients, additives, and chemicals—presents a set of challenges that differ from those in gaylords or boxes of packaged goods. You’re not tracking items on a shelf in a warehouse; you’re tracking changing mass inside enclosed bins, silos, and hoppers that are subject to vibration, ...
Solar and hydropower are two pillars of the global renewable energy mix, but their true potential emerges when they work together. Research from the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory suggests that hybrid systems combining these sources could unlock energy outputs in the range of thousands of terawatts. A game changer for sustainable power generation. At the core of this ...
In such hazardous environments, any electrical equipment, including gas sensors, must meet stringent safety requirements to prevent the risk of explosion. Many international regulations including ATEX and IECEx, mandate the application of certified equipment in explosive atmospheres, requiring the a high level of design integrity of sensor ...
A water level sensor is a device used to detect and measure the water level in tanks, ponds, rivers, or any other water body. ...
Manual inspections are not only a safety concern, but also prone to human error. Traditional contact-based sensors suffer from wear and require regular maintenance, while non-contact sensors often lack the speed needed to capture real-time changes in material flow. Solution To address these challenges and improve process control, a mining customer implemented a ...
A municipality operating multiple elevated and remote water storage tanks faced inefficiencies in monitoring water levels. Tank level was monitored by physically traveling to each site, climbing tanks to visually inspect levels, and manually logging data. ...
As climate change continues to disrupt global weather patterns, the frequency and severity of flood events have increased dramatically. Floods not only threaten lives and property, but also impact infrastructure, agriculture, and economic activity on a large ...
To address the increasing market need, Cubic, an Automotive Tier 1, leveraged its mature R&D and manufacturing expertise in gas sensors and analyzers to develop the automotive-grade Air Quality Sensor (AQS), AQM-1020, designed specifically for monitoring external air quality and supporting intelligent HVAC control systems. ...
Challenge Due to the challenging environment, finding a suitable distance sensor was difficult. Laser-based distance sensors were tested to manage spacing; however, high temperature and dust caused interference, leading to unreliable readings and system faults. The laser sensors also required regular cleaning and recalibration, increasing ...
Replacing a defective System......while avoiding high Costs The Challenge The customer faced a challenge with a defective MID DN2000 in an overflow channel. Replacing the system, including installation and construction work, would have been extremely costly. However, the NIVUS flow measurement solution offered a much more budget-friendly alternative, at just a fraction of the replacement ...
Engineers working on a project in North Wales have employed novel techniques to improve wastewater treatment efficiency, reportedly at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, saving an estimated £3.5 million. Alison Miles from NIVUS, an instrumentation partner in the project, explains the flow measurement technology behind the reported improvements. ...
The straight pipe section has lower requirements. 3. The sensor adopts a new generation of special high-quality lining technology, and uses a special mirror-polished PFA lining. 4. ...
These devices monitor critical parameters like material levels, mixer performance, temperature, energy consumption, and motor vibration. ...
Flood monitoring is a crucial part of civil protection and urban planning. As extreme weather events become more frequent, it is more important than ever that municipalities, engineering offices and emergency services such as fire departments and disaster control are well informed and prepared. In this blog post, we answer frequently asked questions about flood monitoring to give you a ...
Some of the most critical measurements in fields like air monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and high-precision manufacturing happen at the edge of what sensors can detect. In these settings, accuracy depends not only on advanced instrumentation but on careful calibration at the lowest measurable levels. Sensor calibration at ultralow ...
This often involves using larger and more efficient drying drums that can accommodate higher moisture levels. In addition to larger drums, incorporating advanced heating systems can significantly improve drying efficiency. ...

The built-in ultrasonic gas flow sensor allows for 28.3L of constant current sampling and exceptional long-term data stability. ...
A manufacturer of high-speed foiling vessels needed a sensor to monitor the distance between the hull and the water surface. ...
Sensors automatically monitor and adjust the filling level, preventing overfilling or underfiling ensuring uniformity across all containers. It operates by continuously monitoring the level of a substance using various sensors. These sensors come in different forms, including: Float switches: These simple devices ...
