In today’s dairy industry, accurate tank monitoring plays a vital role in maintaining quality, consistency, and food safety. From milk collection and pasteurization to cleaning systems, knowing exactly what’s happening inside your tanks helps prevent costly downtime and contamination. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) we understand the importance of hygienic design and reliable performance […]
Float level transmitters are a proven, reliable way to measure liquid level in tanks, silos, and process vessels. These sensors use a simple yet highly effective design: the long sensing stem (the level probe), a series of switches inside the stem, and a magnetic float that rises and falls with the liquid. As the float […]
Ever wonder what keeps data centers online during a power outage? Ben shares how the PT-500 plays a key role.
Emergency generators keep construction sites, data centers, warehouses, government facilities, cell towers, and more operational during severe weather and other power interruptions. These huge generators are fueled by diesel stored in nearby fuel tanks. Managers use several different means to monitor the level of fuel. Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) and our industrial measurement instruments […]
In this session, Shaw from APG and Kelvin from ControlByWeb sit down for a candid, conversational discussion on integrating APG ultrasonic level sensors with I/O modules to unlock smarter, more efficient automation systems. This is a practical, real-world conversation that blends product expertise with field insights. If you’re looking to better understand how to bring […]
Surface disruption is a problem in both contact and non-contact methods of liquid level measurement. Stilling wells are an excellent way to dampen these disruptions and provide a clean target surface for an accurate measurement. By isolating a calmer column of liquid, they give your sensor a clean, steady target and eliminate false readings. At […]
Keeping a data center cool is vital, preventing valuable equipment from overheating and becoming damaged. Hot spots can occur when areas don’t receive efficient cooling. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we help engineers and facility managers monitor the systems that keep data centers running efficiently. We’ll explore two common cooling methods, air-cooling systems and […]
