A new approach from KISTERS combines water level and velocity measurement in a single compact sensor, overcoming cost barriers. This development increases efficiency by eliminating the need to integrate independent sensors in one housing, leading to significant benefits to water-dependent industries.
AACHEN, Germany , March 26, 2024 /CNW/ — KISTERS today announced the launch of HyQuant , a new range of non-contact water radar sensors set to break industry rules. Unlike current fragmented solutions, HyQuant offers a unified, cost-effective and accessible approach, eliminating the need for professionals to juggle multiple sensors. The series’ all-in-one capability to measure water velocity and level from a single compact sensor breaks the affordability and size barrier, thus enabling everyone access to state-of-the-art technology.
“Our goal was clear: to simplify the daily tasks of field operators. By consolidating multiple sensors into one, we’re saving time and resources, enabling smoother operations and better data,” said Edgar Wetzel , Global Head of R&D at KISTERS.
Manufactured at KISTERS’ German facility, HyQuant effectively tracks water level and velocity in both narrow and wide bodies of water. The sensors are equipped with customisable filters, built-in Modbus and SDI-12 protocols and secure Wi-Fi. They also feature a user-friendly interface with a wizard, for easy settings adjustment, an included mounting bracket and cable, an IP68 rating and one of the highest power efficiencies in the industry.
The heightened interest in non-contact technology has led to an increase in adoption, but at a very slow rate. Higher upfront costs have put this innovation out of reach until now. The technology behind HyQuant allows KISTERS to overcome this barrier and offer a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise performance.
“HyQuant embodies KISTERS’ commitment to accessibility and efficiency in water management” said Anton Felder , Director of KISTERS HydroMet, “By breaking down barriers of adoption, we’re empowering more communities and industries to make informed decisions about their water resources”
The range includes:
HyQuant L+V: All-in-one level and velocity radar HyQuant L: Level radar HyQuant V: Surface velocity radar KISTERS invites you to learn more about HyQuant in an upcoming online event. The date will be announced via its website , or follow its LinkedIn page .
