Whether for a brewery, beverage bottling plant, food production facility, chemical plant, water treatment system, mechanical engineering operation, energy supply facility, or ship: reliable measurement data form the foundation of modern industrial processes.
How much fluid actually flows through a pipeline? What is the fill level of a tank? What quantity of raw material is being dosed? What is the pressure in the system? How does the temperature of a plant change?

Flow measurement – when every litre counts
Flow rate is one of the most important measured variables in industrial production processes.
Water, beverages, oils, chemicals, cleaning agents, or other liquids must be transported, dosed, mixed, filled, or monitored.
However, there is no single measurement method for every application.
Depending on the medium, piping, temperature, pressure, conductivity, and required accuracy, different technologies can be employed.
For this purpose, HIKMICRO offers, among other things,Coriolis, electromagnetic, and clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement technology.
Coriolis – precise mass flow measurement
Coriolis mass flow meters are of particular interest when high accuracy and direct measurement of mass flow are required.
In addition to mass flow, other process information—such as density, temperature, and volumetric flow—may be available, depending on the device and configuration.
This opens up numerous possible applications.
In beverage or food production, for example, the quantity of a liquid raw material can be precisely monitored.
In chemical processes, media can be precisely dosed.
In industrial facilities, consumption levels can be recorded and processes controlled.
For fuels and oils, too, the actual mass of a flowing medium can be a significantly more meaningful process variable than a purely volumetric measurement.
Typical areas of application can therefore be found, among others, in:
the food industry, beverage industry, chemicals, petrochemicals, energy, mechanical engineering, marine, process industry
Electromagnetic flow measurement
Electromagnetic flow measurement can be an interesting solution for electrically conductive liquids.
Typical applications include, for example:
- Water
- Process water
- Wastewater
- Cleaning media
- various foodstuffsl
- Beverages
- conductive chemical liquids.
Electromagnetic flow meters can therefore be used in numerous production and supply processes.
This technology is of particular interest to, for example, breweries, beverage manufacturers, food processing plants, water treatment facilities, and industrial production plants.

Clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement – measuring flow without opening the pipeline
Clamp-on ultrasonic technology is of particular interest for existing systems.
The sensors are mounted on the outside of a suitable pipeline. This enables flow measurement—depending on the application—without the need to install a conventional inline sensor in the pipeline.
This opens up interesting possibilities for:
- existing production facilities
- Retrofit projects
- temporary measurements
- energy and consumption analyses
- maintenance and service
- pump monitoring
- troubleshooting
- additional measurement points.
A production facility can thereby check, for example, which quantities of water actually flow through certain parts of the system.
This technology can also represent an interesting diagnostic tool for service technicians and maintenance departments.
Breweries and Beverage Industry
A particularly interesting application area for modern measurement technology is breweries, beverage manufacturers, and bottling plants.
In these facilities, liquids are continuously transported, processed, cleaned, mixed, and filled.
From raw material supply through the actual production process to cleaning, there are numerous measurement points.
These include, for example:
Water and Brewing Water
Flow measurement can be used to control and document the amounts of water used.
Product Flows
Beer, beverages, raw materials, and other liquids must be reliably transported and monitored during production.
Dosing and Mixing
Where different liquids are processed together, precise flow information can make an important contribution to reproducible product quality.
CIP Cleaning
Cleaning-in-Place processes require water and cleaning media. Flow measurement can help monitor these processes.
Filling Systems
There are also numerous opportunities to monitor liquid flows, pressure, and temperature within filling and supply systems.
Tanks
Raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, water, or cleaning media are stored in tanks. Here, level measurement also comes into play.
This allows for the measurement of flow, level, pressure, and temperature within a single production facility.rThese can be relevant measurement parameters.
Food production
The applications in the food industry are similarly diverse.
Dairies, sauce manufacturers, beverage producers, confectionery manufacturers, large bakeries, and other food businesses work with a wide variety of liquid raw materials and process media.
Possible applications include:
- Water
- Milk and liquid dairy products
- Oils
- Syrups
- Concentrates
- Liquid ingredients
- Cleaning media
- Process water.
The suitable measurement technology always depends on the specific properties of the medium and the process conditions.
Coriolis mass flow measurement can be particularly interesting when raw materials need to be accurately captured or dosed.
Filling, dosing, and mixing systems
Modern measurement technology also offers numerous possibilities for manufacturers and operators of filling systems, dosing systems, and mixing systems.
The quality of a production process often depends on reliably processing defined quantities of a medium.
Measurement systems can be used, for example, for:
Dosing → Mixing → Conveying → Filling → Monitoring → Documenting.
Thus, HIKMICRO measurement technology is not only interesting for the end user.
Machine and plant manufacturers can also consider sensor technology during the development of new machines and production systems.
For MOTEX, this OEM sector is particularly interesting, as a single plant project can lead to a recurring demand in the long term.
Level measurement - knowing what is in the tank
Where liquids or bulk materials are stored, level measurement plays a central role.
With radar level measurement technology, levels can be recorded contactlessly.
Possible applications can be found in:
- Storage tanks
- Process containers
- Water tanks
- Chemical tanks
- Raw material containers
- Silos
- Wastewater facilities
- Production containers.
This results in application possibilities ranging from food production to chemistry and water management, as well as tank systems and energy supply.

Pressure measurement - reliably monitor processes and systems
In addition to flow and level, pressure is one of the fundamental process variables.
Pressure measurement can be used, for example, in:
- Pumps
- Pipelines
- Filtration systems
- Hydraulic systems
- Water treatment
- Process containers
- Production systems
.
The combination of several measured variables becomes particularly interesting.
For example, those who know the flow, pressure, and temperature of a system gain significantly more information about the actual operating condition of a plant than by considering a single measurement.

Chemicals, tank storage, and process industry
The HIKMICRO portfolio is also of interest to chemical and petrochemical companies as well as tank storage.
Here, among other things, the following can be used:
Coriolis mass flow meters for liquids and dosing processes,
Radar level measurement devices for tanks and containers,
Pressure transmitters for process plants
as well as thermography and acoustic inspection for maintenance
.
This allows process measurement technology and condition monitoring to be connected.
Water and wastewater management
Waterworks, sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, and industrial water treatment facilities have numerous measurement points.
Particularly interesting here are:
- electromagnetic flow measurement
- Clamp-on ultrasound
- Radar level measurement
- Pressure measurement
- Thermography for pumps and electrical systems.
Industrial companies also often have their own water treatment, cooling water, or wastewater systems and are therefore potential users.
Energy, building technology, and industrial supply systems
There are also numerous application possibilities outside of classical production processes.
Heating and cooling circuits, energy centres, industrial supply systems, and larger technical buildings have pipelines, pumps, and containers.
Flow, pressure, and temperature measurement can help make operating conditions and consumption more transparent.
Clamp-on ultrasound can be particularly interesting for existing systems when additional measurement information is to be obtained.
Mechanical engineering and industrial production
Machine and plant manufacturers require sensors not only for their own production facilities.
Measuring technology can be part of the machines that are later delivered to customers.
This results in interesting opportunities for manufacturers of:
- Process plants
- Dosing systems
- Pump systems
- Filtration systems
- Water treatment plants
- Filling machines
- Mixing systems
- Energy systems
- Special machines.
MOTEX supports both end users and machine and plant manufacturers in selecting suitable HIKMICRO measuring technology.
A particular focus in Northern Germany: Shipyards and shipping
In addition to the numerous industrial applications, we see another particularly interesting area for Northern Germany: the maritime economy.
Hamburg and Northern Germany are traditionally strongly influenced byshipping, ports, shipping companies, shipyards, ship repair companies, and maritime service providers.
For MOTEX, this area is of particular importance, as we have been active in the international marine and spare parts business for many years.
Numerous liquids must also be moved, stored, and monitored on a ship.
These include, for example:
- Fuels
- Lubricating oils
- Cooling water
- Fresh water
- Ballast water
- Wastewater
- Bilge water
- various auxiliary media.
Accordingly, there are also opportunities here for modern flow, level, pressure, and temperature measurement.
Coriolis for fuel and consumption measurement
Coriolis mass flow measurement can be interesting for precise capture of fuel flows in suitable applications.
Consumption data from main engines, auxiliary engines, or generators are important information for shipping companies when analysing ship operations.
Clamp-on ultrasound for retrofit and service
Particularly interesting forshipyards and ship repair companiescan be the clamp-on ultrasound technology.
In suitable pipelines, measurement can be carried out from the outside without having to intervene in the existing piping system for a classic inline sensor.
This opens up possibilities for:
- Retrofit
- Maintenance
- troubleshooting
- Pump testing
- Cooling water circuits
- temporary measurements
- Performance analyses.
Level measurement on board
Ships have numerous tanks for fuels, lubricants, water, and other media.
Here too, modern level measurement technology – depending on the application, installation situation, and the respective technical or regulatory requirements – can offer interesting possibilities.
Thermal imaging and acoustic technology
Additionally, HIKMICRO thermal imaging and acoustic cameras can be interesting for maritime maintenance.
Engines, generators, pumps, bearings, control cabinets, and electrical connections can be examined thermographically.
Acoustic cameras can, in suitable applications, be used to locate compressed air or gas leaks.
Thus, HIKMICRO also offers an interesting range of measurement and inspection technology forshipyards, shipping companies, ship managers, and maritime service companies.A portfolio - numerous industries
