SPL-200 BinMaster’s latest laser level sensor measures solids, such as resin pellets, in silos as tall as 98 feet and can be programmed to take readings once a day or as often as once per hour. It uses a single-point laser that is appropriate for use in low-dust environments. The laser has an integrated, wireless, long-range transceiver that sends data to a gateway that connects via a cellular network or Ethernet to the company’s BinView app or Binventory LAN-based software; this allows users to access inventory data on a PC, smartphone or tablet. The sensor can be mounted on either a fixed plate or an adjustable plate that swivels.
What’s new? The SPL-200.
Benefits Convenience and cost savings. The device uses a replaceable lithium battery that lasts three to five years, eliminating the expense and complexity of wiring; this can facilitate inventory monitoring in silos where it previously wasn’t feasible.
