Ultrasonic sensors of the US-Q12 series even detect shiny parts such as nuts and bolts without problems. If the fill level falls below the target value, the sensor switches and material is refilled. This target value can be set intuitively using a potentiometer. This solution is extremely reliable thanks to its narrow sound beam and the specific fill level evaluation.
