Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010053439A1] Method for remote monitoring of storage containers (1) for beer by means of a remote monitoring system, which has a sensor unit placed in each storage container, a receiving unit (19) arranged adjacent to the storage containers, and a data storage unit (23) arranged at a distance from the storage containers. The sensor unit has a distance meter, a processor, a radio transmitter and a pulse circuit. The method comprises the step of the pulse circuit initiating a measurement sequence by sending an initialisation signal to the processor, which measurement sequence has the steps of the distance meter measuring the distance to the liquid surface of the beer and a volume value for the quantity of beer being estimated. The method furthermore has the step that a reporting sequence is initiated, which has the steps that a data message is composed, comprising the volume value and a unique identification number for the sensor unit, the data message is sent to the radio transmitter, which sends out the data message as a radio signal internally in the storage container so that it reaches the receiving unit, which receives the radio signal and relays the volume value and identification number to the data storage unit, which keeps these in a database.
