Level in basins, tanks and pumping stations
Continuous level measurement can use non-contact radar or ultrasonic technology, while hydrostatic measurement is suitable for selected applications. The choice depends on basin geometry, foam, condensation, turbulence, deposits, measuring range and installation conditions.

Pressure and pump protection
Pressure transmitters monitor suction and discharge conditions and provide process values to PLC or SCADA systems. Combined with level and flow data, pressure supports pump control and diagnostics.

Flow in pipes and open channels
Flow can be monitored in pipes for process and pump control, while open-channel flow can be derived from level measurement and the measuring structure geometry. Technology is selected according to pipe, medium, solids, measuring range and required accuracy.

Pumps, motors and variable frequency drives
For pumping stations we can integrate motors, motor protection and variable frequency drives. Speed control allows flow and pressure to follow process demand, using level, pressure or flow signals in the control loop.

Local automation and communication
PLCs, HMIs and Remote I/O can centralize instrumentation signals, pump and valve control and data transfer to SCADA or monitoring platforms. Industrial communication is especially useful for distributed installations.

Condition monitoring
Vibration, motor and bearing temperature, current and energy consumption can complement process data to identify abnormal pump and motor operation earlier.
