Inventory System Applications | Senix Ultrasonic Level Sensors

ToughSonic® non-contact ultrasonic sensors and radar sensors are utilized in a variety of industries for level measurements. They enhance inventory management by measuring distances to materials within containers, items on conveyor belts, and production equipment.

While sensors work without direct contact, they endure exposure to the elements without impacting accuracy or reliability. These measurements are used in inventory systems to maintain product integrity, track stock levels, automate processes, and trigger alerts.

Ensure precise bulk material inventory, prevent overstocking or stockouts at plants or worksites, and provide insights into planning and forecasting—all with a ToughSonic sensor.

ToughSonic ultrasonic sensors are most commonly used in storage tanks containing liquids, including chemicals and food-grade ingredients

Automate Processing with Smart Inventory Sensors

Accurate inventory measurement and continuous level visibility are both crucial to optimize bulk material handling processes.

Senix level sensors provide precise, real-time measurement of liquids and dry bulk solids in even the most challenging process or storage environments.

ToughSonic® ultrasonic transmitters automate liquid level measurements in ranges up to 50 ft. (15 m).

TS-100 general-purpose and TS-200 chemical-resistant sensors are often utilized in tank level applications, ingredient storage vessels for sanitary food and beverage processing, and compact vessels with agitators, such as mixers.

Compact non-contact radar sensors—or CNCRs—offer extreme accuracy up to 98 ft. (30 m) in bulk solids, slurries, powders, and liquids. 80 GHz radar technology is immune to dust, vapor, condensation, buildup, and fluctuating temperatures or pressure.

Sensors for Inventory Management

Both ToughSonic ultrasonic sensors and CNCR compact radars are designed with versatility in mind, making them a well-suited choice for many industries and applications.

Benign Liquids

TS-100 general-purpose transmitters measure liquids of any color or opacity in indoor, outdoor, or open-air tanks.

Chemical Tanks

TS-200 chemical-resistant sensors and CNCR radars feature rugged housings to resist exposure to harsh chemicals or acids.

Bulk Solids

Compact non-contact radar sensors excel in bulk solids of any consistency or bulk density: powders, granules, pellets, and heavy materials.

Tall Storage Silos

ToughSonic transmitters reliably measure ranges up to 50 ft. For longer-range requirements up to 98 ft., utilize radar level sensors.

Conveyor Visibility

Ultrasonics are ideal for conveyor applications: liquid level measurements, pump controls, and object or proximity detection.

BinCloud inventory monitoring software—partnered with ultrasonic sensors' real-time measurements—provide accessible, smart inventory control

Accurate, Non-Contact Monitoring for Smarter Inventory Control

Senix ToughSonic® ultrasonic sensors provide reliable, real-time inventory measurement for tanks, bins, and bulk storage systems.

By measuring levels without contacting the material, they improve accuracy, reduce manual checks, and support automated inventory management across operations.

Monitor tank and bulk storage levels for liquids, chemicals, and process materials with continuous, non-contact measurement
Improve inventory accuracy by eliminating manual readings and reducing human error in level tracking
Enable remote visibility by integrating with PLCs, SCADA, and BinCloud® inventory systems for real-time data access
Optimize operations and supply planning with consistent level data for better ordering, forecasting, and asset utilization

How do you want to view your data? Senix is happy to tailor systems to meet each application's needs, including locally stored data or cloud-based software—or a combination of both!

Digital panel meter icon: Senix offers display consoles for local data visibility

Local LED data displays are typically installed in prominent worksite locations for walk-up access or drive-up visibility.

Level measurements also integrate into existing PLCs and SCADA systems to help operators make timely data-driven decisions.

BinCloud Remote Monitoring Software icon: Users can view tank level inventory on a phone, tablet, or PC

BinCloud inventory management software brings level data and actionable insights to a phone, tablet, laptop, or PC.

Simply open the secure, web-based app to view one bin, a whole site, or multiple worksites at once. Export historical reports and place fulfillment orders in the app.

SensorView Software icon: Configure over 80 ultrasonic sensor settings with Senix's proprietary configuration software

SensorView ultrasonic sensor configuration software also offers access to real-time liquid and distance measurements via a series of statistical and display tools.

Users can also virtually system-test the rest of their integrated equipment within the app.

Compact, non-contact radar sensors and mini capacitance sensors support inventory visibility and control

Radar and Capacitance Sensors for Inventory

CNCR-100, CNCR-200, and CNCR-300 radar sensors deliver continuous, non-contact level measurement of stored liquids. Accurate, real-time inventory data improves visibility and control.

MCP-100 and MCP-200 mini capacitance probes provide dependable point-level detection, providing high- and low-level alerts that support automated inventory management and replenishment.

CNCR radar sensors continuously track changing inventory levels in tanks, IBCs, and storage vessels
Radar maintains accuracy despite vapors, condensation, agitation, and volatile process conditions
CNCR-300 series enables wireless monitoring for remote tanks and multi-site inventory visibility
MCP probes trigger alerts for reorder points, overfill prevention, and critical high/low inventory thresholds
