VEGA Digital Products and Services: Production System Under Control
Date: 2025-11-24Read: 2
Why is on-site digitization crucial in the chemical industry?
In the chemical industry, owners often face daunting challenges: production systems are becoming increasingly complex, but production processes must be safer, more efficient, and more transparent. In addition, facilities and business processes beyond the production level must also be optimized.On site digitalizationIt can provide accurate data, making it easier for users to access key information and laying the foundation for optimizing enterprise processes.
To support digital transformation, VEGA not only supportsEthernet APLBy utilizing digital communication methods, we also offer innovative digital services, such asMyVEGA Customer Platform、Digital TwinandVEGA Tools AppFrom installation to the end of the instrument's lifecycle, these solutions have achievedData flow throughout the entire processAnd provide practical tools for efficient system monitoring, equipment maintenance, and material management.
How can Ethernet APL help achieve digitalization at the field layer?
Implementing unified digital communication at the field level is a major challenge faced by the process industry. The new communication protocol, Ethernet APL (Advanced Physical Layer), can fill this gap.
It combines the advantages of Ethernet technology with the robustness required for harsh working conditions such as the chemical industry.Only one cable is needed to achieve data transmission and instrument power supply (Ethernet power supply)This not only significantly reduces wiring costs, but also simplifies the installation process. Ethernet APL supports long-distance cables and has passed explosion-proof certification (including Zone 0). This technology provides real-time data, making equipment integration easier and predictive maintenance simpler in the Industry 4.0 environment, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the production process.
By incorporating Ethernet APL technology, VEGA has opened up new avenues for customers to apply Industry 4.0 and predictive maintenance.
How does digital twin contribute to process safety?
To fully describe the properties of an instrument, digital twin technology cannot be avoided. Digital twins are not just digital images - they connect physical objects with virtual models and create them from themA comprehensive database that can be updated in real-timeThis technology can bring numerous advantages, and VEGA has also applied it to measuring instruments: throughout the entire lifecycle of the instrument, all critical information will be stored for future reference.
For the chemical industry, digital twins can provide solid support:
Centralized management of all data
Calibration, certificates, maintenance logs, and diagnostic information can all be obtained at any time.
The digital twin page can be accessed on-site using QR codes, RFID tags, or serial numbers.
If necessary, the setting information of the instrument can be backed up and restored to facilitate maintenance and reduce downtime.
Finally, digital twins help with precise planning and maintenance work, while ensuring that technicians quickly access all necessary information. VEGA digital twins can be integrated into information platforms such as myVEGA to help enterprises centrally manage multiple instruments in production facilities. This can help users save time, simplify document recording, and ensure seamless tracking of all production processes.
What are the advantages of myVEGA customer information platform?
The myVEGA customer information platform can be used forAll VEGA instruments in centralized management facilitiesIt makes the organization and recording of instrument related data easier and accessible at any time. The main functions of the platform include:
Clearly display instrument configuration, certificates, and maintenance logs.
With just a few clicks, you can access all the data of an instrument.
You can directly apply for technical services through the information platform.
With myVEGA, businesses can save time and reduce errors at the root, as all instrument related data can be clearly and centrally managed.
How can VEGA Tools App make instrument debugging more efficient?
In the chemical industry, instruments are usually located in hard to reach locations or hazardous areas. Users can remotely debug and monitor instruments using the VEGA Tools App, which is both safe and easy.
Debugging the instrument panel through a smartphone or tablet without the need for a connection.
Technicians can quickly check readings, troubleshoot and make adjustments.
This app meets high standards of network security and can prevent unauthorized access.
The VEGA Tools App can help the chemical industry save time, improve safety, and achieve flexible workflows.
