COVER STORY

New in a different way:
Innovation of values
Beside the technical highlights, the
VEGA radar team addressed questions
that, from the very beginning, went far
beyond product design: what will be the
long-term impact of this technology on
the people who use it? How can their
work be simplified? What future goals
of industry can be realised with the new
technology?
This new approach gave rise to
the impulses that make VEGAPULS 6X

users and the process conditions of their
applications, other points came into “Until now, there were many different sensors that could be used for an application,
