Autonomous radar sensors: VEGAPULS Air
Autonomous radar sensors deliver digital measured values – anywhere and at any time
VEGAPULS Air sensors operate wirelessly and are powered by a battery. This means they can be put into operation immediately after simple installation. Thanks to their wide range of possible applications, the autonomous radar sensors can be used in cities and various areas of industry, such as logistics, production or agriculture, to optimise processes.

How long do the batteries of VEGAPULS Air sensors last?
- Depending on the model, the battery life can be up to
> 10 years (LoRa, 4 measurements/data transmissions per day at 25 °C)
> 6 years (mobile telephony, 4 measurements per day, 1 daily data transmission at 25 °C) - The autonomous sensors VEGAPULS Air 41 and 42 also have a replaceable battery
- The standard battery is available worldwide
- Replacement is carried out on site – quickly, easily and without any special tools

IIoT ecosystem
The IIoT ecosystem optimises industrial processes. The data from VEGA sensors plays a key role in this. It is transmitted directly to the VEGA Cloud and fed into VEGA Inventory System (VIS). There, it ensures transparent monitoring of inventory levels and creates the basis for intelligent decisions in demand planning.

Instruments
Whether it's a mobile application with just one daily measurement or a fixed measuring station with several measurements per day – the requirements are as diverse as the possible ways in which the self-sufficient VEGA sensors can be used. What is always the same: VEGA offers the most suitable hardware solution to reliably send the sensor data to the cloud and securely transmit it to VIS, in order to make optimal use of all the advantages.

VEGA Cloud
The measured values are stored securely in the VEGA Cloud and are available to users quickly and easily at any time. Reliable encryption mechanisms, authentication and comprehensive rights management are used for the local server – not only for storing the data, but also transmitting it. Users can manage the data conveniently via tablet, smartphone or PC.
That’s VEGA Cloud Security (ISO 27001).

VEGA Inventory System
VIS makes the following possible:
• Quick access to current and historical consumption data
• Economical production and supply planning
• Increased operational efficiency
• Cost savings through optimised logistics
• Notifications/alarm messages by e-mail, push messages or SMS

Integration into third-party systems
IoT and IIoT enable data exchange across the boundaries of individual systems or platforms. VEGA Inventory System therefore offers the option of integrating data from the VEGA Cloud into any other third-party system such as SAP or Salesforce. Data is exchanged conveniently via a RESTfull API.
VEGAPULS Air in use
VEGAPULS Air delivers precise measuring results regardless of the medium, process and ambient conditions. These radar sensors guarantee maintenance-free operation through non-contact, 80-GHz radar technology as well as simple installation thanks to their independent power supply and wireless technology.
This makes VEGAPULS Air the right choice for autonomous level measurement in mobile diesel tanks, animal feed silos, sanitary tanks and salt silos as well as sewer measurements for flood protection and many other applications.
