JUMO Presents Maritime Sensor Solutions at SMM 2026

At the leading maritime trade fair SMM 2026 in Hamburg (September 1 to 4), JUMO will present forward-looking sensor and automation solutions for the marine industry in Hall B6, Stand 442. Under the trade fair motto "Driving the Maritime Transition," the company is focusing on technologies that actively support the shift toward decarbonization, digitalization, and energy efficiency. Lars Ronge, Industry Manager Transportation at JUMO, emphasizes the role of high-precision measurement data as the foundation for safe and sustainable ship operations. Only those who monitor processes reliably can fully exploit optimization potential and economically meet regulatory requirements.

Focus on Ballast Water Treatment and Alternative Fuels
A key exhibition theme is compliant ballast water treatment, for which JUMO is showcasing solutions for the precise monitoring and control of pressure and level. In addition, systems for alternative fuels, hybrid propulsion concepts, and predictive maintenance take center stage. Through the intelligent networking of robust sensors with automation and software platforms, JUMO enables transparent condition monitoring. This helps shipowners and system integrators optimize energy consumption, reduce emissions, and increase system availability through data-driven maintenance strategies.

Additional Context: Technological Background and Market Dynamics
This section provides technological and market-specific background information not explicitly mentioned in the original press release.

The global maritime industry faces immense pressure to improve its environmental footprint and comply with strict international regulations, such as International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates for greenhouse gas reduction and ballast water management. Untreated ballast water can introduce invasive aquatic species into foreign ecosystems, making precise monitoring of treatment processes mandatory. At the same time, the adoption of alternative fuels such as LNG, methanol, or ammonia requires entirely new and highly explosion-proof sensor systems, as these media often involve extreme pressures, cryogenic temperatures, or high toxicity. Furthermore, comprehensive digitalization of marine operational technology (smart shipping) is essential to safely and efficiently manage the rising complexity of onboard systems amidst reduced crew sizes.
