Consistent Advancement of Proven Measurement Technology

For decades, SIKA sensors have stood for precision and reliability in countless industrial applications. Today, IO?Link?enabled variants are a natural part of the portfolio – from robust temperature sensors to compact OEM modules and versatile Vortex flow sensors.

IO?Link as an Established Communication Standard

IO?Link is an internationally standardized point?to?point communication system (IEC?61131?9) that has long been established in machine and plant engineering. SIKA uses this technology to make processes more efficient, extend diagnostic capabilities, and offer a clear, future?ready interface.

Greater Efficiency and Transparency for Users

With IO?Link, sensors are easier to integrate and parameterize. Continuous data transmission enables advanced diagnostics down to field level, supports predictive maintenance, and helps reduce downtime.

Vortex Flow Sensors as a Prime Example

A current example is the VVX series of Vortex flow sensors. They combine precise flow and temperature measurement with the advantages of IO?Link communication. Available in plastic, brass, and stainless steel in nominal diameters from DN15 to DN40, they are ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

Future?Ready Solutions for Industrial Processes

“Our focus is not on introducing a new technology but on how we can create real added value in our customers’ applications,” emphasizes SIKA’s product management team. “IO?Link is not a trend topic for us but an integral part of modern, efficient sensor technology.”
