Water and wastewater operators are under increasing pressure to maintain quality, optimize processes, and manage distributed infrastructure. In this context, JUMO is presenting a portfolio of sensor, automation, and digital water data management solutions at IFAT 2026, taking place from May 4–7 in Munich, Germany.
Connecting measurement, control, and analysis
At IFAT 2026 (Hall C1, Stand 314), JUMO is focusing on end-to-end water data management, combining field-level sensing with automation and cloud-based analytics. Continuous online monitoring of parameters such as pH, conductivity, oxygen, and turbidity enables early intervention in treatment processes and supports compliance with water quality thresholds.
The approach reflects a broader shift toward integrated monitoring architectures, where data from distributed assets is collected, processed, and visualized in near real time across a digital supply chain for water infrastructure.
Data acquisition beyond fixed infrastructure
The JUMO IoT Bridge is designed for deployments where fixed network infrastructure is unavailable, including construction sites, remote locations, and protected areas. The system connects up to four Modbus sensors and transmits measurement data via LTE to the JUMO Cloud or external platforms.
An IP66-rated enclosure enables operation in harsh environmental conditions, while an integrated GPS module supports identification and tracking of mobile or distributed measurement points. This configuration allows operators to extend monitoring coverage without relying on permanent network installations.

Centralized automation and process optimization
The JUMO variTRON 500 automation system integrates data acquisition, analysis, and control within a modular platform. It aggregates measurement data from multiple sensors, processes it centrally, and makes it available for real-time optimization of treatment processes.
The modular architecture supports scaling from small installations to larger plants, allowing adaptation to different system sizes and operational requirements. This enables consistent control strategies across distributed assets.
Flow measurement and sensor network integration
For flow monitoring, JUMO presents the JUMO flowTrans MAG H20, an electromagnetic flowmeter designed for water applications. The device provides stable, drift-free measurements, supporting precise control in processes such as filtration and chemical dosing.
Sensor integration is addressed through JUMO digiLine, a bus-capable connection system that enables multiple digital sensors to operate on a shared signal line. It supports parameters including pH, temperature, redox potential, conductivity, oxygen, and turbidity. Plug-and-play functionality and modular expansion allow flexible configuration of sensor networks while maintaining secure digital data transmission.
Supporting water treatment across applications
The combined portfolio covers a range of applications, including filtration systems, reverse osmosis, and complete water treatment installations. By integrating sensors, automation, and software within a unified framework, the system supports improved process efficiency, operational safety, and data-driven decision-making in water quality monitoring.
