## Pepperl+Fuchs Presents Performance-Optimized Ultrasonic Sensors and Innovative Prototypes from the WILSEN Product Family

**Battery-operated wireless sensors with LoRaWAN interface from Pepperl+Fuchs represent a cost-effective alternative to wired solutions in many areas. At The Things Conference in Amsterdam on September 21–22, 2023, the Mannheim-based company will be presenting current ultrasonic sensors from the WILSEN.sonic series, as well as prototypes from the newly developed WILSEN.valve and WILSEN.node series. The rugged sensors feature IP66/67 degree of protection and are not only used in industrial environments, but are also increasingly used in small-scale, municipal enterprises, as well as in environmental and water protection.**

Sensors from the WILSEN.sonic series are suitable for remotely monitoring fill levels in containers, tanks, and silos, as well as water levels in lakes, rivers, and rainwater retention basins. With a resolution of one millimeter, three sensor types with measuring distances of up to seven meters are available. Using the app, the sensor can be commissioned quickly and easily on-site via Bluetooth. Alternatively, the user can remotely query and parameterize the parameter values for the WILSEN sensors via a LoRaWAN downlink.

With WILSEN.valve, Pepperl+Fuchs is launching an innovative approach for remotely monitoring valve positions, e.g., in the chemical industry. In the future, it will be possible to perform a wide variety of status queries efficiently and cost-effectively with WILSEN.node.
