Abstract
A method for determining a filling level of a storage container is disclosed. The method comprises generating a magnetic exciter field. The magnetic exciter field is configured to excite a content of the storage container to form a magnetic response field. The method further comprises determining at least one measurement value for the magnetic response field. The method further comprises determining the filling level of the storage container based on a position of the storage container and comparing the at least one measurement value with reference measurement values. One filling level of the storage container is assigned to each of the reference measurement values.
