One of their key areas is deployment in tanks residing in boats. The indicators have traditionally been based on a conventional vibration technology where 3-4 sensors are mounted on the outside of a fluid container. Each sensor applies a slight mechanical vibration to the canister (think of it as a knock) to determine if the fluid level is above or below the sensor placement. This means that you can only detect whether the tank is 25%, 50% or 75% full, which has been ok for waste tanks onboard leisure boats. At the end of 2021, Gobius decided to develop a solution that could detect the tank level with millimeter accuracy called &#8217;Gobius C&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/acconeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gobius-logo-1024x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3386\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gobius-logo-1024x320.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gobius-logo-512x160.jpg 512w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gobius-logo-768x240.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gobius-logo-1536x480.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Gobius-logo.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">A new generation of tank level monitoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>The Gobius team concluded that they wanted to use a radar based sensor, which is a proven technology within industrial applications. After exploring various options, they decided to go for the Acconeer XM122 radar module. They acquired a development kit for test and evaluation and were able to conclude that the module met their challenging requirements. From there, the development continued very efficiently from the start in late 2021 and the first customers got their units in October 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring the Acconeer radar technology, the new &#8217;Gobius C&#8217; indicator gives a range of superior benefits compared to previous Gobius systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Measures 0-100% tank level with millimeter accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mount the sensor on the outside of the tank &#8211; get started in 15 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works with any type of fluid (petrol, diesel, fresh water, grey water and black water)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wireless monitoring directly to your phone or PC through Bluetooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"gobiusC_11_HD_mute\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/759830434?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8221;The development work went very smoothly.

Even though the radar sensor is capable of measuring longer distances than that, this is the sweet spot for the use cases where the Gobius solution is deployed since it maximizes the accuracy while staying within the power consumption specs. The primary markets for &#8217;Gobius C&#8217; are the leisure boats and passenger trains sectors which don&#8217;t use tanks with larger depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gobius has developed additional intelligence to its solution to make sure you get a correct value of the fluid volume in the tank. The software can compensate for the rather common scenarios where tanks are not simple straight cylinders or block shaped, but rather follows the surrounding compartment in the boat or train where it&#8217;s integrated. The algorithms also ensure that you get a relevant output value even though the tank level fluctuates due to rough sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About <span lang=\"sv\">Gobius Sensor Technology&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gobius Sensor Technology AB offers unique tank monitors.
