APM Automation Solutions
3D Level measurement


Privately held APM Automation Solutions Ltd. has received worldwide recognition for its technologically innovative, effective and economical line of non-contact level measurement instruments. The company’s APM 3DLevelScanner™ represents a new family of devices that takes the guesswork out of measuring the level, volume and mass of materials inside a silo or open bin with 3D mapping of the contents. It incorporates APM’s unique patented technology to a range of 3D level measurement solutions that address applications previously thought to be beyond the scope of level measurement with unparalleled degrees of accuracy.


APM Technology


The 3DLevelScanner employs a 2-dimensional array beam-former to transmit low frequency pulses and to receive echoes of the pulses from the contents of the silo, bin or other container. The device's Digital Signal Processor samples and analyzes the received signals. From the estimated times of arrival and directions of received echoes, the processor obtains and generates a 3-dimensional image of the surface that can be displayed on a remote screen. This unique device can then accurately determine the volume and mass of material, enabling an unrivaled degree of process measurement and inventory control.


Additional products extending the reach of APM technology are currently under development.


The APM 3DLevelScanner provides an innovative measurement method that takes the guesswork out of measuring the level, volume and mass of materials inside a silo or open bin by generating 3D maps of the contents. These unique devices enable an unrivaled degree of process level measurement and inventory control.
