Radar Sensing for Plastic and Fiberglass Containers
FoxRadar (Gen 3) is a radar-based level sensor designed for non-contact measurement through plastic and fiberglass tank walls. It is optimised for UCO (Used Cooking Oil) container fleets — enabling remote level visibility without product contact, supporting structured collection planning across distributed container operations.
Core Capabilities
- Non-contact through-wall measurement — no opening required on plastic or fiberglass containers
- Lightweight and compact for rapid deployment across large UCO collection fleets
- Fast installation with screw mount or adhesive — no specialist or tank modification needed
- Multi-network connectivity for distributed container operations across varied signal environments
- Long battery life minimises field visits and keeps total running costs low
Where FoxRadar (Gen 3) Fits
- UCO / Used Cooking Oil container fleets (lightweight plastic containers)
- Plastic and fiberglass tanks where through-wall measurement is required
- Distributed container operations requiring fast, simple installation
- Sites where compact, lower-weight hardware is preferred over full industrial sensors
Industry applications: UCO
It complements FoxRadar (Gen 4) in scenarios where installation footprint or container construction makes Gen 3 the better operational fit.
Ideal Use Cases
- UCO container fleets using plastic or fiberglass tanks
- Distributed collection operations requiring fast installation without tank modification
- Sites where compact, lightweight hardware is preferred over full industrial sensors

Deployment Requirements
- Measurement range: 15–200 cm
- Through-wall measurement for plastic and fiberglass only — not suitable for metal tank walls
When to Use a Different Sensor
FoxRadar (Gen 3) is not suitable for all tank types. Consider an alternative when:
- Tank depth exceeds 200 cm (→ use FoxRadar Gen 4)
- Tank material is metal — through-wall radar measurement is not possible
- Tank geometry is complex or obstructed, requiring probe-based sensing (→ use FoxPressure Gen 4)
- Industrial durability or a wider measurement range is required (→ use FoxRadar Gen 4)
Role Within the FoxInsights System
FoxRadar (Gen 3) provides level data as time-series input into the FoxInsights intelligence layer. Monitoring is the sensing layer. Forecasting and refill timing remain platform-layer capabilities.
Integrated with FoxPortal
- Level data transmitted to FoxPortal for consumption-based planning across container fleets
- Portfolio-wide visibility for distributed UCO collection operations
