Level measurement of silos on construction sites
Solutions for the building materials industry
Planning the material requirements of a construction site is often still a manually controlled process. This ordering process is based on telephone calls and the experience of employees. With Endress+Hauser´s Micropilot FWR30 the recording, visualization and provision of all level information in silos is now completely automated.
The results
-
Profibaustoffe Austria GmbH can quickly and easily view the available quantity of materials at their customers‘ locations
-
Deliveries can be efficiently planned based on the data
-
Unnecessary journeys can be avoided, which not only reduces operating costs
-
The quality of the stored materials can be ensured by continuous measurement of the ambient temperature
"Together with Endress+Hauser we developed and implemented the perfect solution for the level monitoring of silos. The cooperation worked really well, and we are very satisfied with the result."
Profibaustoffe Austria GmbH
The challenge
Planning the material requirements of a construction site is often still a manually controlled process. This ordering process is based on telephone calls and the experience of employees. Accordingly, the process is significantly influenced by factors such as illness, holidays, temperature and the tendency to place orders too early or too late. The consequences can be a lack of product availability, high storage costs or inefficient operational processes.
Our solution
Our solution for Profibaustoffe Austria GmbH is the completely automated recording, visualization and provision of all relevant parameters on the construction site and at the distribution site. With the Micropilot FWR30 a battery-operated IIoT-enabled level sensor (80 GHz radar) information about the exact fill level inside the silo is provided. In addition to considering the behaviour of the bulk material, the measuring device has additional sensors for:
Measurement of the ambient temperature to ensure the integrity of the product quality
Measurement of the angle of inclination in order to be able to draw conclusions about the time of transport and installation
GPS position detection
Monitoring of the battery status
