Production in massive quantity is one of the biggest challenges faced by the manufacturers. Since for massive production it is necessary to have a huge workforce and machines too, these workers and machines can be put to work if they have enough materials to work upon. Hence there is a huge need for the materials to be procured in bulk and not just any bulk, but in a huge quantity that will keep the supplier on his toes until he can manage to provide all the required quantity within time. Some of the major manufacturers spend a procurement bill of materials in millions of dollars every year. How much materials can be procured for a million dollars? Obviously it would be enough to fill all the stores of 5th Ave.

As the materials are procured in such a massive quantity and they can easily spread to such a huge area, the factories have to cook up a very effective plan to store them in the smallest possible area. The dry materials are stacked upon each other in purposely built racks and the liquids, they cannot be stacked hence they are contained in huge sized containers and specially built tanks. These materials are recorded because it helps to plan out the production targets accordingly. The liquids in the storage tanks are measured using the liquid level indicator. By reading the liquid level on these indicators the person put in charge of maintaining the records of the liquids procured can update the production department about the availability of the liquids.

In some cases a factory has to procure some highly sensitive liquids which in the normal language are termed as chemicals. These chemicals can be highly toxic and corrosive acids or cyanides. Since these chemicals are used to perform certain changes in the product as in increasing the shine or even to cut the sharp edges of the product, the factories which are involved in manufacturing these kinds of products require these liquids. These kinds of liquids are highly dangerous and can cause unimaginable harm to the surroundings if mishandled. To add protection to these liquids they are contained in specifically built single skinned containers and it is ensured that there is no leakage when building it. Even the use of normal and standard liquid indicators is prohibited and the ultrasonic level indicator is the only one used with it for measurement.
