Claim 7:
8. A fill gauge level device, comprising:
an elongated member having a distal end portion and is configured to extend positioned over a payload area of a shipper;
a sensor positioned on or adjacent to the distal end portion of the elongated member and configured to detect when a medium is at or above a threshold level within the payload area of the shipper; and
a processor coupled to the sensor and the indicator and configured to:
determine, using the sensor, that the medium is at the threshold level,
provide an indication to a user that indicates that the medium is at the threshold level,
shut, close, or turn off a flow of the medium from a medium source when the medium is within a threshold amount of the threshold level, and
estimate an amount of the medium that has flowed from the medium source but has not reached the payload area of the shipper, wherein the threshold amount is greater than 0 and is equivalent to an estimated amount.
