Apollon-Q | IoT level sensor

How does it work?

We use high-performance and current-optimized laser technology for the Apollon-Q. This enables us to record many small measuring points and combine them into a coarse-resolution 3D image. This means that even highly inhomogeneous surfaces, such as those found on piece goods, can be captured more accurately than with conventional methods. In addition, sections of an image can either be viewed more closely or ignored. This allows interfering influences or objects in the sensor image to be masked out. For extremely small containers, such as KLT boxes or waste paper baskets, the image section can be reduced. In this way, the aperture angle can be reduced and the measuring window can be individually adapted to the respective container.

Wireless IoT radar sensor

With the Apollon-Q, Sentinum is not only introducing the first sensor with a dual measuring principle consisting of radar and optical measuring principle, but is also supplying the first size-optimized and cost-effective radar sensor on the market. In principle, radar enables the detection of a measurement object that is covered by other materials. In this way, the Apollon-Q can also be mounted outside plastic tanks and the fill level of liquids in the tank can be determined. In general, radar is very suitable for measuring liquids, metals, moist bulk and piece goods or objects with smooth surfaces. In contrast to other technologies, interfering objects in the depth direction can be ignored. This effect can be seen, for example, when Apollon-Q sensors are used in long pipes with lateral inlets, such as ducts or shafts.
