Both the co-founders of Lvlogics have roots in dairy farming, giving them a deep understanding of the stress experienced by farmers and animals when meal supplies run out unexpectedly.  The combination of being keenly aware of this issue on farms and having many years experience in the remote monitoring of oil, inspired Barry, who has an MSc in Electronic Engineering, to design and develop a solids monitoring solution. The use of laser technology is proven to be reliable, accurate and low-cost in the capture of levels data, however, the dusty environment in a silo created a huge challenge in using this technology for solids monitoring. Barry knew that if the issue of dust accumulation on the laser could be addressed effectively, that there was a gap in the market for a reliable and low cost solids monitoring solution.
