The first, which is a wave transmitter and receiver, is placed on top of the container. The second, which is the digital display and control unit, is placed in the monitoring room. The distance between the two units can be up to 100 metres. This achievement is part of HCST programme in support of local industry. Five devices of this kind have been produced for a local company which was also given all the technical information required for manufacturing the device totally.
Work is under way to acquire a patent registration for the device.
