WILSEN.system
Managed IoT Sensors for Remote Fill Level Control …
The WILSEN.system
Pepperl+Fuchs supplies you with an end-to-end IoT sensor system that was made to meet industrial requirements. Rugged wireless, battery operated IoT sensors combined with future-proof software services yield optimal utilization of sensor data.
With Pepperl+Fuchs’ WILSEN.service, you no longer have to worry about data integrity and security. A validated security concept is the foundation for secure and reliable communication to the Internet and ensures that your valuable sensor data is protected.
WILSEN.service was developed to give you the greatest freedom possible in terms of business integration. Whether you want to use sensor data in your ERP, CRM, LMS, or connect to a cloud platform—you decide. We provide sensor data and a fully managed system.
When operating large numbers of remote sensors, individual device management is not an option. Our WILSEN.service frees you from this time-consuming work by establishing centralized and secure device management.

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 and connecting WILSEN.service to the waste management software system, 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—WILSEN.service allows you to access all sensors via mobile app and a secure Internet connection.
How Does the WILSEN.system Work?
A Ready-to-Use IoT System
The WILSEN.system is based on four building blocks:
1. Special IoT sensors, like the WILSEN.sonic.level, that are optimized for battery operation.
2. Connectivity means a securely protected radio connection between sensors and WILSEN.service.
3. WILSEN.service is an online device management service. This service provided by the IoT specialists from our subsidiary Neoception includes data integrity and data routing as well as device management tasks like administration, permissions management, and sensor configuration. If needed, device operators can use a mobile app to securely log into a sensor via the WILSEN.service.
4. Third party systems/platforms process and interpret the telemetry sensor data submitted from WILSEN.service. This can be your ERP, CRM, LMS, or a cloud-based business solution like CUMULOCITY IoT. With its modular design, WILSEN.service interfaces with any third party system and can be easily integrated into existing business processes.
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.
