Lift stations are critical systems designed to move wastewater from lower to higher elevations. They use pumps to move water from low wet wells to processing facilities. System managers need regular, up-to-date information about what is going on inside their lift stations to avoid a wastewater emergency. Continuous level measurement can provide critical data to avert disasters. Continuous measurement in a lift […]
Aerospace operations rely on accurate data and dependable equipment. In this video, we highlight several APG measurement solutions that help support aerospace applications, from monitoring critical systems to delivering reliable sensor data in demanding environments.
Level measurement is a critical part of any well-run agricultural operation. Monitoring water levels can alert you to leaks or broken pumps and allow you to pinpoint problems before they escalate to catastrophes. You can use level measurement to track inventory of liquid additives and bulk solids like grain. Over time, accurate data empowers you to schedule deliveries when you need them, eliminating the guesswork. Water and Irrigation […]
In an industrial world where precision and reliability are the keys to success, radar sensors have emerged as a powerful solution. Among the industry leaders, Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), based in Logan, Utah, has shown its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. Let’s explore how APG radar level sensors work, how they have […]

There are many applications suitable for remote level monitoring. Tanks and other equipment aren’t always located in the most convenient locations, making remote monitoring a necessity. As industries continue to adopt remote monitoring to improve efficiency and reduce site visits, many users still underestimate what it takes to successfully deploy a reliable remote tank level […]
You may have the best sensor on the market, but if its materials aren’t compatible with the media you’re measuring, performance and reliability are immediately at risk. Incompatibility can lead to sensor failure, inaccurate readings, unplanned downtime, and costly replacements. In short, successful sensor selection requires good chemistry between your sensor materials and the chemicals […]
Level sensors can be classified in two basic ways: contact level sensors and non-contact level sensors. Simply put, contact sensors physically touch the media being measured, while non-contact sensors measure level from a distance. While contact level sensors are reliable means of level measurement, a non-contact equivalent often provides better long-term performance, reduced maintenance, and […]
Radar or submersible pressure? When it comes to level measurement, the right choice depends on your application. Radar sensors are great for non-contact, harsh, or foamy environments. Submersible pressure transducers are easy to install, extremely rugged, and designed to remain fully submerged in clean or dirty liquids. At APG Sensors, we design both technologies to […]
