Automatic Monitoring and Control of Fill Levels
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An inventory management system for automatic monitoring and control of at least one of fill levels and pressure states, comprising:
- an inventory acquisition unit acquiring at least one of fill level data and pressure data;
a central system centrally administering and preparing at least one of the fill level data and the pressure data; and
a communication unit coupled with the inventory acquisition unit, the communication unit transmitting, via a communications network, at least one of the fill level data and the pressure data to the central system and receiving, via the communications network, at least one of the control data and regulating data from the central system.

Abstract
An inventory management system automatic monitors and control of fill levels or pressure states. The inventory management system supports bidirectional communication between the individual field devices and a central system. The bidirectional communication takes place using a web client by way of a communications network (e.g., the Internet) so that broadband data exchange becomes possible. Administration of the measured data takes place centrally and automatically.
