VIDI Level is a battery-operated device that measures the distance to the nearest detectable surface and transmits data wirelessly.
VIDI Level is a smart level reading device for ground pit installations. This IoT sensor measures the distance to the nearest detectable surface and transmits the data wirelessly. VIDI Level is typically installed in a ground pit where water or sand level measurements are desired. After installation and activation, the device transmits information about the water or sand level in the pit to the VIDI Cloud platform or to a third-party software (e.g., SCADA or GIS.) With data from the level sensors, water utilities can optimise the plans for emptying sand traps.
