Mr. Perl summarized the challenges that large-scale manufacturing industries – from the power industry to cement to steel, plastics and others – must overcome to accurately assess and control inventory in order to successfully manage the entire production process.
He gave an overview of prior-art technologies, including the use of electromechanical (yo-yo) level sensors, ultrasonic and radar level sensors, and capacitance sensors, and discussed the shortcomings of each of these methods.

Mr. Perl continued with a detailed under-the-hood view of how APM's innovative 3D level scanning technology provides much greater accuracy in its measurements, resulting in significantly enhanced overall performance, major cost savings and faster returns on investment. "Knowledge is power," Mr. Perl commented, "and APM's technology allows managers to make informed decisions that go right to the bottom line throughout the entire supply chain."

Hosting Mr. Perl at the conference was Mr. Ravinder Goyal, General Manager of APM's partner in India, EIP Enviro Level Controls Pvt Ltd. "I want to thank Mr. Goyal not only for the warm personal reception he has given me, but for arranging an opportunity to present our innovative technology at the conference," said Perl. "We believe our products are in very good hands, as EIP has a proven track record in India as well as to export markets. Our 3DLevelScanner complements EIP's product line and fits well with the company's commitment to adopting new technologies," Perl concluded.

Mr. Perl's ISA(D) – POWID Mumbai presentation titled "Volume Measurement Using 3D Technology" includes a technical description of the technology and may be viewed here.
