When it comes to process measurement, the best innovations only reach their full potential when knowledge is shared. Recognising this, VEGA has rolled out its new Lunch-and-Learn series to the coastal regions of South Africa, designed to bring practical training and real-world insights directly to engineers and technicians.
The first sessions took place in Umhlanga, Durban, on 13 and 14 August 2025. More than 160 professionals attended across the two days, underscoring the strong appetite for technical engagement in KwaZulu-Natal’s industrial hub. Delegates represented a diverse spread of sectors, from water and wastewater to pulp and paper, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, the sugar industry and food processing, highlighting the wide relevance of measurement technology across all industries.
The format combined technical learning with open discussion. Topics included core measurement principles, level, pressure, switch level and nucleonics, along with hands-on guidance around choosing the right technology, installation practices, calibration and troubleshooting. The goal was not just to showcase VEGA’s instrumentation, but to equip participants with practical tools they could apply immediately in their plants and facilities.
For many attendees, the sessions provided a rare opportunity to engage directly with experts in an informal setting, away from the pressures of the production floor. The interactive style encouraged questions, knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer exchange, turning a product seminar into a true learning environment.
Encouraged by the success of the Durban launch, VEGA is taking the Lunch-and-Learn initiative on the road. The series continues in Namibia this October before heading to Cape Town in November, expanding opportunities for industry professionals across southern Africa to engage with the latest in measurement solutions.
Efficiency, compliance and sustainability are top priorities, and knowledge sharing initiatives like these play an important role in strengthening industries. For VEGA, it is about more than instruments; it is about building lasting partnerships grounded in trust, expertise and shared growth.
