SIMATIC PCS neo
Ultrasonic and radar level technologies for water and wastewater
When considering which type of level transmitter is best for your specific water or wastewater application, a few key questions must first be addressed:
- What's the common ground between these technologiess, and what sets them apart?
- Is one technology more accurate than the other – and does it matter?
- Should cost be the deciding factor for moving from one technology to another?

Solutions for Irrigation
In both agricultural and commercial building applications, irrigation systems are required to keep the landscape healthy and vibrant. However, there is often a tendency to over or under-water, which can lead to damage of plant life, as well as increased operational and energy costs. Intelligent irrigation systems can help mitigate these issues and generate savings that far exceed the cost of their implementation
Solutions for Desalination
According to the World Health Organization, even though two-thirds of the world’s surface is covered with water, around 11 percent of the world’s population has no reliable access to drinking water
