Open architecture mesh for tank monitoring

摘要

SignalFire's Remote Sensing System for tank level monitoring (FIG. 3) features an open architecture mesh network that provides a number of benefits over other technologies, including choice of sensors, wireless capacity and simple configuration. Many tank level technologies limit interfaces to one or two types of sensors. However, the materials (oil, water, etc.) and the environment being monitored must dictate the best sensing technology. The right sensor for the job might be a radar, a float, a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a piezo-resistive sensor or a guided wave radar.
