IBC-Tank (plastic)
Level
Overview
Chemical production draws small quantities of additives directly from IBC containers on the plant floor, where an empty container interrupts supply. Plastic IBCs travel between production areas with the media they carry, so fixed instrumentation is impractical. VEGAPULS Air 23 covers the container's 3 m range to ±5 mm and reports over NB-IoT, CAT-M1 or LoRa without a separate radio unit.
