WILSEN.sonic.level
Modular IoT System for Remote Fill Level Control …
WILSEN.sonic.level
Pepperl+Fuchs provides you with an IoT system designed to meet industrial requirements. The wireless sensors detect the fill level and geolocation of containers and other objects, and securely transmit this data to the Internet.
The WILSEN system has a modular design. You can integrate the IoT sensors directly into your own platform or use the optional WILSEN.service from Pepperl+Fuchs as middleware. With this service, you get a secure remote station online that enables numerous interfaces for connecting to your ERP, CRP, or cloud-based IoT solution.
WILSEN.service from Pepperl+Fuchs also offers convenient device management and ensures the security and integrity of data transmitted online. This is based on a validated security concept, which ensures that your valuable sensor data is protected.
Optimize Your Business Processes with Sensors for the Internet of Things
Wireless IoT sensors make objects like containers, tanks, and silos smart. This creates a wealth of new communication possibilities and sources of information, including:
- Regular updates on current fill level
- Warnings when a defined threshold is exceeded
- Notification of current geoposition for pick-up
- Overview of fill level and position of all containers, tanks, and silos in a central online location
Collecting and using this valuable information helps you optimize supply and logistics processes. Manual fill level control and unwanted transport of half-full or half-empty containers is no longer an issue.
Application Examples
Smart Cities
Increasing environmental awareness has made waste management a top priority of many city governments. The WILSEN system is an ideal solution in these situations. By equipping containers for old clothes, glass, paper, and residual waste with WILSEN.sonic.level sensors, a much smarter and convenient waste management is possible.
Fill levels transmitted from containers enable waste management workers to take more efficient routes, saving time and reducing rush hour traffic jams. The entire process can be planned in advance much more precisely. Cities and citizens will benefit from on-demand waste collection, reduced noise, reduced exhaust emissions, and fewer overflowing recycling bins.
Smart Logistics
The WILSEN system helps you get the most out of your logistics processes. Because the WILSEN.sonic.level sensors submit fill levels and geo location, you can track mobile containers on the way to the point of use.
By utilizing this additional information from our WILSEN system, you can optimize fleet management, establish smart replenishment of containers, and ensure that all raw materials and intermediate products are available in time for production. Time-consuming on-site container monitoring is a thing of the past, as fill level data can be centrally accessed and containers autonomously report deviations from defined fill levels or geopositions.
How Does the System Work?
A Modular IoT System
1. IoT Sensors
The IoT sensors are equipped with different wireless interfaces. They can be connected to the public GSM (2G) network or integrated into a LoRaWAN.
2. Connectivity
Choose the SIM card or LoRaWAN of your preferred provider.
3. Data and Device Management
In LoRaWANs, the network provider offers data and device management. For use inside the public GSM network, the sensors must be integrated into the respective target system. Pepperl+Fuchs also offers the WILSEN.service as a secure remote station for sensor data and device management. Combined, the IoT sensors and the WILSEN.service build an end-to-end IoT system.
4. Data Visualization and Processing
Telemetry sensor data can be displayed with the WILSEN.service visualization tool. Furthermore, the software interfaces enable connection to other ERP, CRM, and IoT systems (e.g., CUMULOCITY, ThingsBoard, and niota) for data visualization and processing.
The IoT Sensor—WILSEN.sonic.level
WILSEN.sonic.level is a wireless sensor with integrated ultrasonic module for fill level detection. It is available for wireless GSM (2G) and LoRaWAN communication and has a battery life of up to five years. A built-in GPS chip allows precise device tracking. Status information about things like temperature and battery life are also transmitted.
What's more, WILSEN.sonic.level sensors feature the ruggedness that is characteristic of industrial sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs. With an IP66/67 rating and a PTFE protective film that prevents contaminants from adhering to the transducer, the sensors can be readily mounted in tough ambient conditions.
Built-in temperature compensation enables a wide temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C and equips these sensors to gather reliable fill level data, both outdoors and in harsh environments. Adjustable beam patterns and a sensing range of up to 4 m give you the flexibility to adapt to space constraints.
