How It Works Level and Flow (formerly known as Tank Cloud) covers every user’s remote monitoring needs. Our Level and Flow client level sensors connect directly to the internet for tank applications. They use Modbus to connect up to 10 server sensors for tank farm applications. Level and Flow sensors can be programmed remotely. They […]
As technology develops, automation and industrial IoT are becoming increasingly interlinked together. In this article, we’ll discuss what industrial IoT is, its advantages, and applications of APG sensors with industrial IoT. What is Industrial IoT? IoT stands for the Internet of Things. In industrial operations, it’s a network of connected devices equipped with sensors that […]
In the food and beverage industry, ensuring public health is paramount. Organizations must consider that all products used in the manufacturing process must be made from materials that are safe for food contact. This is where NSF certification is crucial—products bearing the NSF seal are sanitary and safe to use around certain food and beverage […]
At APG, our ultrasonic sensors have set a high standard for reliable performance, offering a range of options to meet diverse needs. Among them, the LOE stands out—not just as an ultrasonic sensor but also as a powerful Modbus controller. What Is The LOE? The LOE, short for Level Over Ethernet, is a web-enabled ultrasonic […]
What is a Float Switch? A float switch is a type of contact liquid level sensor that uses a float to operate a switch. Float switches are commonly used to control other devices, such as alarms and pumps, when a liquid level rises or falls to a specific point. In electrical float switches, floats are […]
At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we specialize in providing reliable, durable pressure transducers. This post highlights our range of pressure transducers, their features, and applications. How Pressure Transducers Work Pressure transducers use piezoresistive technology to accurately measure pressure. This is based off a small circuit or sensing element attached to the back of […]
Emergency generators keep construction sites, data centers, warehouses, government facilities, cell towers, and more operational during severe weather and other power interruptions. These very large generators are fueled by diesel stored in nearby tanks and use continuous float level transmitters to monitor the level of fuel. Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) and our MPX line […]
Winter is around the corner, and the lower temperatures can cause problems for the unprepared. Failure to winterize your operations can lead to major accidents from burst pipes, leaking tanks, and massive damage when the temperature drops. Ice formation can break open flanges and have pipes crack or leaking, increasing the risk of fire or […]
Deciding whether having a normally open float switch or a normally closed float switch for pump control can be a little confusing. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we’ve provided the ultimate guide to configuring a float switch. When purchasing a float switch, most of them have normally open or normally closed operation. This refers […]
