Steam pipe

Point Level
Steam pipe

Overview

To warm up the water for the boiler, steam is bled from the power plant turbine and delivered into a preheater. As the steam cools and condenses, it is removed from the preheater with pumps. Any condensate gathering in steam pipes has to be reliably detected to prevent it from entering the turbine. Vibrating level switches, mounted at low points in the system, reliably detect any water accumulation.

VEGA Inventory System

Inventory System

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) is a web-based software for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and logistics management of inventory levels in storage tanks and silos. Companies can manage their inventories proactively, ensuring greater flexibility in delivery schedules, expanding optimization options, and reducing stock discrepancies. Precise, real-time visualization of stocks allows deviations to be quickly identified, minimizing financial impact. The system combines reliable VEGA measurement technology for liquids and bulk solids with secure cloud-based or on-premises software, providing the basis for intelligent and strategic decisions for optimal inventory management. VIS supports both internal inventory monitoring and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications, where suppliers manage customer stock replenishment using real-time level data.

  • Real-time inventory monitoring across all connected storage locations via web browser or mobile app
  • Four visualization modes — Chart, Graphic, Map, and Trend — for comprehensive stock visibility
  • Color-coded traffic light status system (green/yellow/red) for instant stock level assessment
