JWrada® Radar Level Meters – Reliable, Cloud-Enabled Measurement Solutions for Industrial Automation
In industrial automation systems, level measurement is a fundamental capability that exists in nearly every site yet has long been underestimated. Unlike control systems, which are highly visible, level measurement is deeply embedded in storage tanks, silos, reactors, pipelines, and various intermediate containers. Once level measurement fails, the impact often goes beyond mere data accuracy, directly leading to production stoppages, overflow incidents, or even safety accidents.
Against this industry backdrop, Shenzhen Jiwei Automations Ltd officially launches the JWrada® full-series radar level meters. The series includes the PRO series (3X) and MINI series (2X) product lines, designed for industrial sites with different levels of complexity and operational boundaries. This establishes a clear, well-positioned, and engineering-ready radar level measurement system, marking Jiwei’s transition from technical accumulation to a fully systematized product capability in the radar level measurement field.
I. From Experience Accumulation to a Systematized Radar Product Line
Unlike the industry’s early approach of “one radar fits all conditions,” the JWrada® series was designed from the outset with a layered, application-driven strategy, breaking down measurement requirements across different environments into clearly selectable product lines, rather than compromising parameters to cover all scenarios.
The JWrada® 3X series (PRO series) targets complex industrial environments such as high temperature, heavy dust, corrosive media, and strong interference. Its hardware selection, signal processing capability, and system stability are all designed to meet stringent industrial conditions, making it reliably applicable in chemical, metallurgical, power, cement, and solid waste treatment industries, where continuous operation and high reliability are critical.
The JWrada® 2X series (MINI series) focuses on sites with relatively simple and standardized conditions. While ensuring the stability of core radar measurement, this series emphasizes compact structure, flexible deployment, and cost efficiency, making it an ideal replacement for traditional ultrasonic level meters.
By defining product tiers based on operational conditions and guided by engineering usability, the JWrada® series forms a clear, expandable, and field-proven radar level measurement product system, achieving a tangible realization of systematized product capability rather than merely stacking parameters.
II. Beyond Hardware: Jiwei Emphasizes Software Capability
In the current radar level meter market, hardware parameters such as frequency, beam angle, measuring range, and antenna type are often repeatedly highlighted. However, through long-term field applications, the Jiwei team discovered that software capability—not just hardware—ultimately determines whether a radar can operate stably over the long term.
Based on this insight, JWrada® radar level meters treat the software system as a core competitive advantage, with a continuously evolving feature set that includes:
- Software online updates
- Adaptive calibration for working conditions
- Remote parameter setting
- Fault code monitoring and analysis
- Visualization of echo and EFT curves
Additionally, the series offers optional Bluetooth 5.0, integrated with the Jiwei ZhiKong® WeChat mini-program and companion APP, enabling wireless field calibration and monitoring with multilingual (Chinese and English) support.
These features are not mere configurations; they are engineered around real-world usage scenarios, transforming radar level meters from “black-box devices” into visible, adjustable, and traceable measurement systems.
III. Cloud-Based Remote Debugging and Software-Driven Reliability
The JWrada® radar level meters support cloud-based one-on-one remote debugging. Engineers can collaborate with on-site personnel in real time, monitor equipment status, and conduct professional analysis of echo and EFT curves. Calibration and algorithm adjustments can be customized for specific site conditions, ensuring each device achieves optimal performance in its unique environment.
Traditionally, radar meter calibration relies heavily on field experience, often requiring repeated trial-and-error and multiple site visits. With remote debugging, engineers can directly analyze real-time signals without being physically on-site, greatly improving efficiency while reducing project implementation and maintenance costs. Importantly, this capability is entirely developed in-house by Jiwei, not built on third-party platforms, and currently there is no mature, widely deployable solution of this kind among domestic competitors.
The series also retains its comprehensive software functionality—online updates, adaptive calibration, remote parameter setting, fault code analysis, and echo/EFT curve visualization. Optional Bluetooth 5.0, combined with Jiwei ZhiKong® mini-program and APP, allows wireless calibration and monitoring with multilingual interface support.
This philosophy continues Jiwei’s field-centered, reliability-driven approach, ensuring each radar level meter is visible, adjustable, and traceable, delivering high-reliability intelligent measurement solutions for long-term industrial use.
IV. Building a Complete Radar Level Measurement Ecosystem
With the launch of the JWrada® full-series radar level meters, Jiwei’s product matrix now spans vibrating fork level switches, vibrating rod level switches, magnetic float level meters, and radar level meters, gradually forming a comprehensive solution from point-level control to continuous measurement.
Looking ahead, Jiwei will continue to advance software intelligence, remote service capabilities, and adaptability to complex conditions in radar level measurement, driving the evolution from conventional instruments to manageable, analyzable, and traceable industrial measurement systems, providing customers with more efficient and reliable overall measurement solutions.
In the context of the industrial automation industry rapidly moving toward intelligent and digitalized operations, the launch of JWrada® radar level meters represents not just a product upgrade, but a concentrated showcase of Jiwei’s years of technological accumulation and engineering practice in level measurement, demonstrating the company’s comprehensive strength in measurement reliability and intelligent field management.
