Challenges of Fill-Level Measurement
Fill-Level Monitoring of Solid Objects in Containers
When filling small parts like screws or rivets, or foods like meat and spices, the containers’ fill-levels must be continuously monitored in order to fill these containers without interruption. The exact fill-level of the containers must therefore be known at all times.
Solution:
Solution:
- Retro-reflex sensors for transparent objects
- Ultrasonic distance sensors
Fill-Level Monitoring of Liquids
In manufacturing plants, liquid levels in storage tanks must be continuously monitored. To ensure a smooth process flow, this must be possible regardless of color, degree of gloss, air bubbles, foam or viscosity.
Solution:
Solution:
- Ultrasonic distance sensors
- Pressure sensors
Measuring Unwinding/Winding on Rolls
When automatically unwinding or winding material on rolls, it is necessary to determine precisely how much material can still be unwinded or to ensure that there is enough material on the roll. It is essential to continuously check the fill-level of the rolls in order to prevent them from running empty.
Solution:
Solution:
- Ultrasonic distance sensors
- Triangulation laser distance sensors
- Universal retro-reflex sensors
Vacuum Level Monitoring in Pressure Vessels
When manufacturing certain substances, such as fragrances, the presence and minimum/maximum levels of additives in pressure vessels must be precisely measured and monitored. The medium must be detected regardless of its density, viscosity or color.
Solution:
Solution:
- LevelTech fill-level sensors
Detection of Rivets in Robot-Guided Punch Riveting
With automated self-piercing riveting in the automotive industry, aluminum body parts are joined using rivets. To do so, multiple rivets are fired into a hose and transported to a feed unit. A robot moves to this station and transfers the collected rivets to the self-pierce riveting head. It then drives to the assembly point in order to process the rivets. Reliable detection is necessary to ensure that the rivets reach the punching device precisely through the hose.
Solution:- Inductive ring sensors
Fill-Level Measurement of Liquid in Storage Tanks
Challenge:
In the automotive industry, primer liquids are used as a primer for plastic parts in storage containers at production plants. From these storage containers, the material is automatically supplied to the machines. To ensure the minimum fill-level, the level in the containers must be monitored.

Fill-Level Monitoring on Vibrating Spiral Conveyors
Empty Box Measurement
Challenge:
After being handed in at the airport luggage check-in counter, suitcases and bags are placed in plastic trays for further transport and transported via conveyor technology. This makes handling and identification of the objects easier. Before the suitcases are placed in the containers, it is important to ensure that the trays are properly emptied.

Fill-Level Monitoring during Labeling
Challenge:
When automatically rolling out and applying labels, it is important to ensure that there is enough material on the roller and that there is no interruption in the process. The material feed of label or film unwinders must be continuously monitored in order to prevent the unwinders from running empty.

Fill-Level Monitoring of Liquids in Vessels
Challenge:
In dairy plants, the production equipment must be cleaned regularly. Large stainless steel tanks are used as supply containers for CIP cleaning agents. The medium in the tank is a mixture of water and detergent. The pressure and temperature must be measured regardless of air bubbles, foam, or viscosity.

Fill-Level Monitoring in Containers
Challenge:
Frozen pizzas are produced and the toppings added in highly automated production facilities. Spices such as oregano are sprinkled on top of the pizzas after the toppings have been added. The spice mixture is located in an open container directly above the conveyor belt. The exact fill level of the vessel must be known at all times in order for it to be replenished in time.
