„The most expensive product is the one you need and don´t have and the second most expensive product is the one you have and don´t need. The point is planning stocks in a predictive and clever manner. In this respect, our SupplyCare offers a solution in the area of the Internet of things.“
Mastering the challenges of the chemical industry
The chemical industry is a key sector for virtually all branches of industry. It forms the start of almost any process chain. At the same time, it incorporates the biggest challenges for safe procedures and the economically efficient use of plant capacities.
The following subjects govern the partnership of our experts with customers of the chemical industry:
- Safety directly installed: The design of products makes a difference: The proper selection of materials, welding approvals, mechanical solutions like gastight lining, planning of the second line of defense as well as the development according to IEC 61508 are concerned
- Cutting edge technology provides economic efficiency: Cutting edge technology ensures effective use of your resources. Many of our instruments are equipped with self-verification capabilities for predictive maintenance. Our Heartbeat Technology is just one example of our concepts to ensure safety in your plant while reducing downtime.
- Competitive edge extension: We offer the complete portfolio of products and solutions for the chemical industry so that we don´t have to enter into any compromises at the plants of customers. Every application requires different answers to increase performance in a targeted fashion.
Your partner for process safety worldwide.

Questions of customers
We have baffles in several tanks. Can we actually use radar instruments in this case?
The 80 GHz technology provides improved focusing for reliable, stable measurements also in case of baffles. We recommend Micropilot NMR81 and the Micropilot FMR6x series for this measuring task.
