Competition all over the world is getting tougher every passing day. Shop owners and office bearers feel the pressure to increase their sales to fight the competition and be able to survive in the market. But overall, the main pressure falls on the manufacturers who are required to produce more and with higher quality without increasing their prices. Manufacturers have had to change a lot of their techniques and methods to come up with a formula which would improve the quality of their product without rising the concerning voices of their buyers.

Improving the quality is another task and keeping the prices low is another. However, the manufacturers have been trying their best to keep both these tasks in accordance with each other. A strategy to keep the prices as low as possible has been devised which involves procuring the materials in bulk. Everything from the dry items to liquids being used in the manufacturing processes is procured in bulk. While the dry items are kept away in the huge store cells and racks, the liquids are stored in specifically designed storage tanks and containers fitted with a liquid level indicator. The level indicator for liquids serves many purposes.

In the effort to keep production costs down, the materials are divided according to the targets set for the production lines every day. The amount of materials required are measured on a sheet and distributed to the production lines stating their quota on a daily or weekly basis. This way the production teams also become aware of the quantity they would get and have to complete their targets within those quantities. Measuring the quantities of the materials ensure that there is no over use of ant material and also there are no wastage's of the materials. Since the prices of raw materials affect the price of the finished goods, reducing waste is the first step towards production cost control.

For stricter control over monitoring the use of materials and especially the liquids being used, the ultrasonic level indicator is used to monitor even the last drop of liquid. With the ultrasonic device, the staff can monitor the flow and the daily drop of level in the tanks effectively. Although there are other monitoring devices installed with the tanks and the pipes leading from them, but with this device an accurate and on the spot data can be obtained more easily and accurately.
