Industrial Bin Level Monitor Kit — Arduino Uno & Ultrasonic Auto Shut-off

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Industrial bins and storage tanks demand reliable level monitoring to prevent overflows, material waste, and downtime. This kit puts you in the engineer's seat — you will assemble and program a working ultrasonic sensor system that continuously measures fill height using an HC-SR04 and automatically closes a solenoid valve via a relay when the tank is full. It’s a hands-on build that mirrors real-world inventory management in manufacturing, chemical plants, and water treatment facilities.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a breadboard prototype of an industrial tank level monitor. The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor measures the distance to the product surface; red and green LEDs provide visual status, and the relay module triggers an external solenoid valve (valve not included) the moment the bin reaches maximum capacity. You’ll take home a working logic controller that can be scaled to any vessel size.

What You'll Learn

• Ultrasonic distance measurement using HC-SR04 and Arduino Uno
• Relay control for inductive loads with flyback diode protection (1N4007)
• LED-based status indication for fill levels
• Arduino programming with threshold logic and serial monitoring

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This intermediate project is ideal for CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring industrial automation, B.Tech ECE and EEE undergraduates working on Smart India Hackathon challenges, and ATL Tinkering Lab participants who need a real-world inventory sensing demo. It also fits perfectly into capstone projects at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS Pilani where sensor integration and relay logic are required.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
