Pump Control and Dry-Run Protection with a Level Sensor
How a pump control level sensor drives start/stop, prevents overflow and dry-run, sets hysteresis, and links to PLC/SCADA via relay or Modbus.
Field-tested guidance on level measurement, silo weighing, and 3D stockpile inventory from Volivue engineers.

Reliable fly ash level measurement keeps power plant silos safe and productive—why 80GHz radar handles dust, low dielectric, and pneumatic flow.
A practical guide to silo weighing integration across 4–20 mA, RS485 Modbus, and API paths into PLC, SCADA, and ERP/MES, with data flow and reconciliation.
Stockpile ERP reconciliation explained: how 3D LiDAR volume data feeds ERP via API, OPC UA, and MQTT to expose and close book-to-physical inventory gaps.
Ultrasonic level limitations explained: foam, vapor, vacuum, dust and hazardous areas where ultrasonic level sensors fail and radar fits better.
Reactor level measurement in sealed, agitated process vessels is hard. See how non-contact FMCW radar handles pressure, steam, foam, and internals.
A liquid level sensor selection framework: match clean liquids to ultrasonic and demanding process liquids to radar by medium and tank conditions.
Radar vs ultrasonic solids level, compared dimension by dimension: dust immunity, low-dielectric handling, range, cost, and how to choose for your silo.
This silo weighing cost comparison contrasts patch-mount strain weighing, 80GHz radar level, and load cells by accuracy, retrofit fit, and total cost.
How 3D LiDAR delivers continuous coal stockpile inventory for power plants, replacing manual surveys and reconciling fuel against ERP records.
