How LIDS IoT Liquid Sensors Work
LIDS wireless sensors attach directly to BIB syrup containers, kegs, and bulk liquid tanks. Every three minutes, each sensor transmits an accurate weight or level reading to the LIDS dashboard — no manual counts, no disruption to service.
Three Steps to Real-Time Liquid Visibility
- Set: Mount a LIDS sensor on your container. Setup takes under an hour per location and requires no plumbing or cutting into lines.
- Forget: Sensors run on long-life batteries and communicate wirelessly. No ongoing maintenance is needed.
- Know: The live dashboard shows every container's current level, usage rate, and variance alert — accessible from any browser or tablet.
Sensor Accuracy
LIDS sensors measure to within a few grams, catching shrink from overpours, waste, and theft that manual counts miss entirely. Readings update every three minutes across all monitored containers simultaneously.
Compatible Liquids and Containers
