From Silos to Supply Chains: Smarter Decisions Start with Visibility

Our VEGAPULS Air range of sensors is built on proven 80 GHz radar technology, and designed for fully autonomous operation. These sensors:

• Deliver digital measurement values wirelessly – anytime, anywhere.
• Run on long-life batteries (up to 10 years depending on the model).
• Can be installed and commissioned in minutes, without complicated setup, further supported by the VEGA Tools App.

With mobile communication standards like NB-IoT, LTE-M, and LoRaWAN, the sensors transmit data reliably even in difficult environments. This makes them ideal for everything from remote silos to IBCs and storage tanks.

The combination of VEGAPULS Air and VIS turns raw data into actionable insights. Together, they help customers move from uncertainty to clarity in their supply chains:

• Real-time visibility: Levels in silos, tanks, or IBCs can be checked from any device, at any time. This not only removes the guesswork but also gives teams the confidence to plan ahead with reliable information.
• Smarter logistics: With accurate data always at hand, companies can avoid unnecessary deliveries and cut down on empty runs. The result is a leaner, more efficient approach to supply chain management.
• Cost savings: By reducing stockholding and eliminating the need for last-minute rush orders, businesses see real financial benefits. Many achieve a return on investment in as little as two years, proving the value of streamlined processes.
• Sustainability gains: Every avoided delivery means fewer transport movements and lower CO₂ emissions. For organisations looking to improve their environmental footprint, this is a practical step towards greener operations.
• Seamless integration: VIS can be connected into existing systems, ensuring companies don’t need to change the way they work but can enhance it with reliable, real-time data.

What makes VEGAPULS Air stand out is its ease of use. There’s no need for complex commissioning, specialist tools or dedicated infrastructure – it’s a straightforward solution that gives people greater control over their processes without adding complexity.

To make this ease of use even more tangible, the VEGA Tools App extends the same straightforward approach into everyday operation and maintenance. With features such as Back Up and Restore, operators can quickly safeguard configurations and reapply them if a sensor is replaced, ensuring no loss of data or setup. This is particularly valuable across larger sites with many sensors in different locations. Alongside this, Simulation Mode and Service Recordings provide reassurance during commissioning and servicing, giving users both confidence and transparency.

And because the sensors are maintenance-free, thanks to non-contact radar measurement and robust housings, they perform reliably across industries – from logistics and agriculture to production and flood protection.

When used together, VEGAPULS Air and VEGA Inventory System provide a practical answer to a common supply chain challenge: lack of visibility. Together, they help businesses cut costs, reduce inefficiencies, and lower environmental impact.
