Abstract: A fill level sensor monitors the level of material, such as grain, in a storage silo. A controller includes a logic circuit, a solenoid assembly including an electromagnet fixedly attached to an external wall of the silo and a plunger which is displaceable in response to electrical energization of the electromagnet between a first position spaced from the silo wall and a second position contacting the silo wall to affect an impact noise. A microphone detects each time the plunger contacts the wall. A memory records each plunger strike, and the time between successive plunger strikes. The controller and microphone are affixed to an outer wall of the silo by permanent magnets. A warning signal alerts when a fill level drops below a pre-determined level or reports in real time the estimate of the fill level in terms of percentages or actual height from the bottom of the silo.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sensor cueing. In one example, the method includes: receiving a model inference from a computing model using a first set of sensor data, the model inference associated with a target object; generating a sensor command based at least in part upon the model inference, the sensor command comprising one or more object parameters associated with the target object and one or more sensor parameters associated with a sensor; and transmitting the sensor command to the sensor via a sensor API.
