Contactless Radar Measurement for Industrial Tanks
FoxRadar (Gen 4) uses 60 GHz radar sensing technology to measure tank fill levels without direct contact with stored liquids — water, diesel, heating oil, lubricants, and AdBlue. Designed for commercial and industrial distributors managing tanks in the field at scale.
Why accurate sensing matters
- Inaccurate or unstable tank level data leads to incorrect service timing, unnecessary deliveries, and missed service windows
- Reliable data enables predictable planning cycles and fewer emergency interventions
- Without consistent measurement, planning becomes reactive rather than structured
- FoxRadar Gen 4 provides the stable data layer that makes forecasting usable in practice
Core Capabilities
Measurement & Hardware
- Extended measurement range (7–300 cm)
- Contactless radar technology
- IP68 industrial protection
- Integrated tilt sensor
- Accuracy: ±5 mm
- Power source: 3× C Alkaline batteries (replaceable)
Connectivity & Power
- Battery lifetime: 7–15 years (depending on configuration and signal conditions)
- Bluetooth, NB-IoT, CatM connectivity
- Integrated on-device display
Installation
- Adjustable installation — the sensor can be rotated during installation to ensure optimal alignment and reliable measurement across different tank setups
Where FoxRadar Gen 4 Fits
FoxRadar Gen 4 is the default sensing approach for most standard tank installations.
- Standard above-ground and underground liquid storage tanks
- Fuel, lubricant, and industrial liquid portfolios (water, diesel, heating oil, lubricants, AdBlue)
- Multi-site distributor networks requiring standardised monitoring
- Environments where contactless, non-invasive measurement is preferred
- Tanks with viable mounting positions and clear radar line-of-sight
When to Use a Different Sensor
FoxRadar Gen 4 is not the right choice in all scenarios. Consider an alternative when:
- Tank geometry prevents stable radar measurement — e.g. internal cross-bracing, T-piece installations, or narrow/deep tanks (→ use FoxPressure Gen 4)
- There is no viable mounting position for accurate radar measurement
- The installation environment requires ATEX/IECEx certified hardware (→ use Pressure EX)
- The tank has an existing mechanical gauge to be digitised (→ use FoxHall or Hall Pro)
Role Within the FoxInsights System
- Real-time level data collection across all connected tanks
- Data transmission to FoxPortal for consumption analysis
- Supports consumption-based forecasting and predictive service timing
- Structured planning support across multi-site distributor operations
FoxRadar (Gen 4) does not execute routing, dispatch, or delivery decisions.
Integrated with FoxPortal
