Launch of VEGA’s latest radar level sensor

“I believe that 80% of all level measurement sensors sold within the next three years will be radar sensors, making ultrasonic technology obsolete”, declared John Groom, VEGA Group Director for Africa at the launch of VEGA’s latest radar sensor the VEGAPULS WL S 61. Speaking at the Roodepoort Golf Club where the launch took place, John Groom reminded the assembled guests that when VEGA launched the VEGAPULS 64 in 2016, a new standard was set for radar sensors.
