Advanced probe technology
Siemens Milltronics provides cost-effective
measurement of continuous level, point level, and
interface in a wide range of applications such as
water and wastewater, chemical, petrochemical,
pharmaceutical, mining, cement, aggregates and
bulk solids.
Siemens Milltronics developed the signal processing technology for level instruments based on
the experience of a million instruments in industrial applications.

The company's engineers invented Sonic Intelligence and Auto False-Echo Processing. Sonic
Intelligence differentiates between true echoes
from the material and false echoes from obstructions or electrical noise. The software is continuously updated and supported by field data gain
from more that 500,000 ultrasonic and radar
level applications. This in-depth knowledge and
experience is built into the software's advanced
algorithms to provide intel
