Farm tanks: the level without driving across the fields
Slurry, drinking water, rainwater for irrigation, fuel in the yard tank, fertiliser tanks for fertigation. The sensor shows the state of every tank in one app and tells you when to act.
The problem
What happens when nobody is looking
The slurry tank near capacity
An overflow means a fine and unhappy neighbours. The sensor shows the filling rate and the date it needs emptying: you plan ahead instead of fighting fires.
The drinking water ran out overnight
An alert on minimum level in the tank and on no change for too long (the pump is not topping up). The animals do not wait until morning.
Fertigation: fertiliser has to be measured, not estimated
With fertiliser applied through irrigation, for example in highbush blueberry, the solution strength depends on how much water and concentrate actually went into the mixing tank. The sensor measures the tank level to the centimetre, so you set the dose from a measurement, and the history shows every mixing cycle.
Tanks far from the buildings
The LTE variant needs no WiFi in the field; WiFi works well around farm buildings with a plug-in receiver.
Installation
It hangs under the lid. Nothing touches the liquid.
The transmitter hangs under the tank lid, above the liquid, with no contact with slurry, fertiliser or fuel, so it neither corrodes nor fouls; the measurement does not depend on the strength or acidity of the fertiliser solution. IP67 housing, works in frost. For open tanks there is an edge bracket; for IBC containers, fuel tanks and fertiliser mixers it mounts in the inspection cap.
Which variant
WiFi: tanks by the buildings and the fertigation station
Receiver in the farm building or at the irrigation station, transmitters at tanks within 30 m. Several transmitters on one receiver, for example the water tank and the concentrate tanks.
