VEGA at SPS 2026. From measured value to digital added value
At SPS 2026, VEGA will demonstrate how reliable measurement technology for level, switching and pressure can be integrated into networked automation structures.
At SPS 2026, VEGA will demonstrate how reliable measurement technology for level, switching and pressure can be integrated into networked automation structures. The focus is on wireless IIoT solutions, Ethernet-APL, intelligent device functions, standardised data models and digital services spanning the entire lifecycle.
Digitalisation of industrial processes begins where reliable data is generated: at the point of measurement. At the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg from 24 to 26 November 2026, in Booth 102 in Hall 7A, VEGA will be presenting solutions that combine precise measurement data with digital connectivity and user-friendly services. This is just one of the ways the instrument manufacturer supports operators, planners and plant builders in making processes safer, more transparent and more efficient.
Intelligent networking of field instruments
Ethernet-APL connects the field level directly to digital systems, thus enabling access to process, device and diagnostic information. For decentralised or hard-to-reach measuring points, Vegapuls Air provides a wireless IIoT connection. These autonomous radar sensors provide measured values for monitoring and inventory management.
VEGAsense combines measurement technology with intelligent digital functions. Users can operate, diagnose and document sensors both locally and remotely. This makes it possible to transform measured values into useful information for operation, maintenance and process optimisation.
Standardised data instead of manual allocation
Beyond device communication, VEGA is also focusing on making product and device data universally available. Structured documentation in accordance with VDI 2770 and unique device IDs lay the groundwork for automatically identifying and allocating documents and incorporating them into customer systems.
Via the Asset Administration Shell, field instruments become digital assets with standardised descriptions. Technical data, documentation and service information can be made available in a structured format and utilised across different systems. This reduces the need for individual data mappings and facilitates the exchange of information between manufacturers, plant builders and operators.
The digital twin accompanies the respective instrument throughout its entire life cycle. Through myVEGA, authorised users gain access to up-to-date device information and documentation. This ensures that relevant data – from engineering and commissioning right through to operation, maintenance and service – is centrally available.
Service that goes beyond the sensor itself
As part of VEGAcare, VEGA bundles free services that ease day-to-day work related to the measuring point. This includes digital access to device information and documentation, instrument backups and service records. In the event of a service call, relevant information can be provided in a targeted manner. This simplifies analysis, shortens coordination processes and increases efficient support throughout the entire lifecycle.
At SPS, VEGA will thus be demonstrating the benefits of a seamless connection via industrial communication systems – from reliable measured values to standardised provisioning of data to digital servicing. The goal: Make process automation simpler, safer and more efficient.
