VEGA at IFAT in Munich, booth C1.239

VEGA at IFAT 2026

Stable measured values for a resilient water industry. From 4 to 8 May 2026, at IFAT in Munich, booth C1.239, VEGA will be showing state-of-the-art level and pressure instrumentation.
Extreme weather events, increasing demands on drinking water quality and ever more complex wastewater processes are putting operators under increasing pressure. A sustainable and resilient water and wastewater infrastructure therefore needs one thing above all else: reliable measurement data, even under difficult conditions.

From 4 to 8 May 2026, at IFAT in Munich, booth C1.239, VEGA will be showing how state-of-the-art level and pressure instrumentation helps to keep processes stable and efficient over the long term.
Interactive demonstrations at the exhibition stand illustrate the capabilities of the sensors under realistic operating conditions.

One focus is on wastewater treatment. Precise and stable measured values are indispensable in all process stages: from inflow via pumping stations to sedimentation and aeration to sludge dewatering and
effluent control. Even in the presence of foam, vapours, buildup or changing media conditions, VEGA sensors deliver reliable, reproducible results – also in situations where other measuring methods reach
their limits. This helps to prevent overflows, optimise energy consumption, reduce downtime and stabilise processes over long periods.

VEGA is also presenting solutions for safe and efficient water management – from drinking water supply and flood defence to the monitoring of critical infrastructures. Precise level and pressure measurement technology ensures reliable operation of basins, reservoirs, pipeline networks and open channels. Intelligent level switches support automated alarms and control processes, thus increasing operational safety even under extreme environmental conditions and stresses.

Another topic VEGA is focusing on is digitalisation: Modern IIoT connectivity enables simple integration of sensors into existing control systems and ensures reliable monitoring of all critical process conditions
during continuous operation. The acquired measurement data becomes decision-relevant information, enabling predictive maintenance and increasing plant availability. The combination of robust measurement
technology and intelligent data utilisation makes water and wastewater treatment plants efficient, reliable and fit for the future.

Old tyres become new raw materials
Pyrum plant sets standards in industry 4.0. In Dillingen, in the heart of the Saarland steel district, PYRUM Innovations turns old tyres into new raw materials. Oil, recovered carbon black and gas are generated in the process and fed back into industry. This is the result of 15 years of hard work, a green entrepreneurial spirit and Industry 4.0, in order to ensure stable control of all processes. VEGA sensors are also a vital component, as they perform reliable monitoring of all levels and pressures. In the beginning was the idea. Someone had obviously taken a close look and not only realised that there was a huge problem, but also set out to find a solution. The problem came to a head around 2008, when the sheer volume of scrap tyres became unmanageable and no sensible use for them could be found. Piled high, they sometimes caught the eye in temporary storage in tyre workshops, but time and again one could see them piled up in the driveways of farms or lying abandoned on the roadside. Anyone who has a car probably wonders from time to time what happens to the tyres they have just replaced, as over three million tonnes

Copper recycling: good for the environment and the economy
The processing of copper scrap involves many precisely coordinated processes. When it comes to level instrumentation, Montanwerke Brixlegg relies on radar technology from VEGA. Very few companies can look back on over 550 years of company history. The Brixlegg copper-silver smelter appeared in documents for the first time in 1463. Copper and silver ores were mined there and refined into pure metals up until the 20th century. Since 1890, secondary materials containing copper have been increasingly used as raw materials instead of ores. “While the challenges back then were for the most part exclusively mining problems, today they are much broader. We are now responsible for maintaining a positive interplay between people, the environment and the economy,” explains Patrick Oberladstätter, Head of Electrical Engineering at Montanwerke Brixlegg in Tyrol. Today, Montanwerke Brixlegg AG is a 100 % upcycling company with more than 350 employees and one of the most important industrial operations in western Austria. The plant in Brixlegg is considered a specialist in copper recycling and the associated copper refining. But there is more to it:

Radar level sensors from VEGA: The smart choice for standard processes
Simple, smart and reliable – these characteristics have enabled the BASIC series of VEGAPULS radar sensors to establish itself as the benchmark in level measurement technology since its market launch in 2020. Compact, attractively priced and technologically superior, the sensors are setting a clear trend in process automation. VEGA is now celebrating a milestone: The 500,000th BASIC radar sensor was recently delivered to a European company specializing in sustainable building materials. There, a VEGAPULS 31 precisely measures levels in bulk solids silos – despite dust, noise and coarse material. Clear evidence of what has distinguished the sensor series from the very beginning: reliable measurement technology for typical applications – with minimal installation effort. With its specially developed 80-GHz radar chip, robust housing materials like PVDF, fully encapsulated electronics and industrial-grade PUR cabling, the series is designed for the toughest conditions – for example in water management, chemicals or bulk material logistics. VEGA is currently the only supplier offering radar level sensors with fully encapsulated electronic components and connection

Digital instrument documentation for the process industry
VEGA simplifies digital instrument documentation for the process industry What to do about overflowing filing cabinets and time-consuming document searches? For the process industry, instrumentation maker VEGA promotes the use of standardised, digital data packages in accordance with VDI 2770, thereby boosting efficiency. Users get fast, structured access to all relevant product documents and can even automate the documentation of entire process engineering systems. Digital documents instead of a flood of paper “A thick ring binder full of paper documents for just one measuring point is unfortunately not that unusual,” says Stefan Kaspar, Product Manager at VEGA, describing the current situation. “All in all, this creates a huge mountain of paper that our customers have to spend a lot of time and manpower on.” VEGA is now putting an end to this: Making documents available according to VDI 2770 in a structured, machine-readable format enables automated processing and saves valuable working time.

VEGA sensors are heading into the future with RFID tags
To make it possible to identify a sensor at any time and in any place, even if its type label is damaged or faded VEGA is making RFID tags available for its sensors Scratches, dents or worn areas: After years of reliable performance under diverse environmental conditions and temperatures, even a level sensor shows its age. To make it possible to identify a sensor at any time and in any place, even if its type label is damaged or faded, and trace it using every digit of the serial number, VEGA is making RFID tags available for its sensors, initially for those of the PRO series. RFID Tags RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is not new, but it is now probably the most advanced way of identifying sensors in industrial facilities. RFID tags contain a microchip that stores information. Because their robust chips make them contactlessly readable for many years, despite wind and weather, rapid temperature changes or exposure to sunlight, they are far superior to other labelling techniques. “They are an ideal addition to stamped tags or barcodes, especially for outdoor installations,” says Stefan Kaspar, VEGA product manager.
