Data on flour levels is now wirelessly transmitted to the plant network, where it is accessible by personal computers and other devices. In this particular configuration, a SignalFire Gateway Stick was specified with an Ethernet interface module that enables accessibility to data via the local Intranet. Pizza plant operators can access data on flour levels through the convenience of their laptops and even smartphones using a specific IP address.
Offering superior signal focusing and relatively fast warm-up times, the VEGAPULS69 level sensors ensure reliable level measurement while operating in explosive and dusty environments. A HART data interface minimizes power usage, which is important when paired with a wireless SignalFire HART Sentinel node that extracts and then transmits level data via a wireless radio transmission to a network gateway.
