Featured Application — Measuring Tank Levels in a Brewery —
 
To maintain product quality and consistency, breweries rely on accuracy in measuring ingredients and maintaining specific temperature, pressure and mixing times.

Tank sensors measuring volume, temperature, pressure, pH levels and other metrics are wirelessly-enabled using Digi's XBee® ZB modules or XBee® ZB adapters. These ZigBee-enabled sensors create a secure, reliable ZigBee mesh network.
