Real-time visibility for any container, at any site
If your operation depends on chemical, you should know how much is left
The IQ-1 Monitor measures fluid levels through container walls using radar — no probes, no wiring, no contact with the chemical. Mount it on a drum, tote, pail, or jug and see real-time levels from anywhere. Built for any operation where running out of chemical means downtime, waste, or lost revenue.
Manual checks fail silently
Every facility that uses chemical from containers has the same fundamental problem: you do not know how much is left until someone physically checks. And the checking is inconsistent. Site staff forget to look. Scheduled deliveries do not match actual consumption. The container that runs dry between checks does not announce itself.
Without monitoring, containers can sit empty for extended periods before anyone notices. Equipment miscalibrations that waste chemical every day go undetected until the next delivery or service visit. These are not edge cases — they are the norm when inventory is managed manually.
Real-time visibility for any container, at any site
Centralized monitoring across locations
See every chemical container across all your sites on one dashboard. Whether you manage 3 locations or 30, the IQ-1 gives your team a single view of what needs attention, what is running low, and what has been sitting unchanged for too long.
Automated alerts before problems become emergencies
Set thresholds by container and get notified when levels drop. Alerts route to the right person — operations staff, procurement, maintenance, or your chemical supplier.
Consumption data that reveals hidden problems
The IQ-1 shows you how fast chemical is being consumed. Abnormal consumption rates indicate equipment miscalibration, leaks, process changes, or waste. Abnormal consumption data can reveal dosing pump miscalibrations, leaks, and process changes that would otherwise go undetected between service visits.
Works on the containers you already use
The IQ-1 mounts on standard plastic containers without modification: 55-gallon and 30-gallon drums, 275-gallon and 330-gallon IBC totes, 5-gallon pails, and 2.5-gallon F-style jugs. No drilling, no probes, no contact with the chemical.
Why real-time data beats manual processes
| What you do today | What changes with Readybit |
|---|---|
| Staff check containers manually on a schedule | Real-time levels visible from any device, anywhere |
| No data between checks — problems invisible | Continuous monitoring catches problems as they develop |
| Emergency orders when something runs out unexpectedly | Alerts before containers go critical, with lead time to plan |
| No way to compare consumption across sites | Dashboard shows all sites side by side for benchmarking |
| Cannot verify equipment is calibrated correctly | Consumption rate data reveals miscalibration and drift |
Frequently Asked Questions
The IQ-1 uses 60 GHz radar that measures through the container wall. It works with water-based chemicals, detergents, solvents, coolants, treatment chemicals, dyes, and other liquids stored in plastic containers.
Plastic drums (30 and 55 gallon), IBC totes (275 and 330 gallon), 5-gallon pails, and 2.5-gallon F-style jugs. Steel drums are not currently supported.
Yes. The sensor is waterproof and outdoor-rated. It is designed for real-world industrial environments including outdoor chemical storage areas, loading docks, and remote sites.
The sensor communicates over cellular, so there is no Wi-Fi requirement and no gateway to install. It works anywhere with cell coverage.
Yes. Readybit offers API access and integrations so you can connect container data to your ERP, route planning software, or internal dashboards. Our team can help you set up the integration.
There is no limit. The dashboard is designed to scale from a single container to hundreds of containers across multiple sites.
The IQ-1 has a rechargeable battery with more than one year of life under normal operating conditions. Battery status is visible on the dashboard.
