VEGA unveils industry first 20m range MCERTS-certified EDM solution. VEGA has introduced the world's first Event Duration Monitoring (EDM) solution with MCERTS certification across a measuring range of 20 metres. The system provides certified EDM performance over the full range of 0-20m, establishing a new benchmark for wastewater monitoring. While certification is important, the real significance lies in what a certified 20m measuring range means for water companies and contractors. Monitoring assets across wastewater networks can vary considerably, from shallow overflow chambers to deep storage structures, pumping stations and large sewer assets. Using a single certified technology platform across a wider range of applications helps simplify standardisation, specification and installation. At the heart of this solution is the VEGAPULS C 21 / C 22 and VEGAPULS 21 / 31. Non-contact radar is particularly suited to wastewater environments because it maintains reliable performance in harsh conditions such as condensation and turbulence. Additionally, when paired with a VEGAMET controller, the 4...20 mA output can be calibrated across a 5m span anywhere within the radar's certified 20m measuring range. This allows operators to focus measurement resolution around the most critical operating levels whilst retaining the flexibility of a much wider certified measuring range. The VEGAMET also provides an accurate certified EDM spill alarm relay within the radar level range. This technology delivers several practical advantages: * High-accuracy spill detection using relay switching outputs. * Multiple data reporting options through relay, analogue and HART communications. * Integration with HART-capable telemetry loggers, PLCs and other monitoring and control systems. * Colour-changing displays for immediate visual indication when a spill event is occurring. * Flexible installation options, including the VEGAPULS C 22 with a side-entry cable, ideal for applications where top-entry instals are not an option. As regulatory scrutiny increases, confidence in monitoring data is exceedingly important. By combining MCERTS EDM performance with an industry-first 20m certified measuring range, VEGA establishes a new standard for EDM, giving the industry greater flexibility, improved data confidence and more consistent monitoring across networks. Supporting UK customers is a dedicated Water Team with extensive application experience across EDM, open channel flow, pumping stations and network monitoring. Working closely with water companies and contractors, they help ensure the right measurement approach is selected for each application.

VEGA acquires Swiss IoT platform provider. "Together, we close the gap between data collection and its use for informed decisions" 02-Oct-2026 Jonas Schmid, Co-CEO of akenza, Markus Kniesel, Managing Director of VEGA, Isabel Grieshaber, Managing Partner of VEGA, and Simon Rieser, Co-CEO of akenza, look forward to combining their strengths in the future. VEGA Grieshaber KG, one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial measurement technology, is acquiring Akenza AG, a Swiss enterprise IoT platform vendor. VEGA is a family-owned company with more than 2,800 employees worldwide and a market presence in over 80 countries. Its sensors for level, point level, and pressure measurement, as well as the associated hardware and software, are used in industries such as chemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, water and wastewater management, and mining. Akenza specializes in IoT solutions and provides Smart Industry and Smart Corporate Real Estate deployments for global organizations. Its agnostic platform enables the seamless connection of devices and systems and has proven itself across a wide range of applications. By combining their expertise, VEGA and akenza are creating the foundation for innovative, scalable, and end-to-end IoT solutions across the entire value chain. From sensor data to intelligent decision. For VEGA, the acquisition represents an expansion of its digital portfolio and another step in the growth of its Industrial IoT business segment. For akenza, this new chapter opens the opportunity to leverage VEGA's global presence and expertise across manufacturing and industry, as well as to further scale its own IoT solutions. "This step is an important milestone on the path to achieving our long-term strategic goals. VEGA's sensor technology and akenza's technology-agnostic, horizontal IoT platform complement each other perfectly. Together, we close the gap between data collection and its use for informed decisions. We are very much looking forward to welcoming the akenza team to VEGA and taking the next step together. This opens new opportunities for our customers to make their processes even more efficient and transparent," says Isabel Grieshaber, Managing Partner of VEGA Grieshaber KG. "VEGA gives us the global reach and the foundation to elevate akenza to a new international level. Together, we're cutting through the complexity of the IoT, allowing enterprise customers to seamlessly connect hardware to action. We will continue to expand use cases in the Smart Industry sector, and keep growing our Smart Building vertical with the agility our customers value", says Jonas Schmid, Co-CEO of Akenza AG. Going forward, both partners will pool their expertise and gradually integrate the akenza platform into VEGA's expanded range of solutions. akenza will continue to operate independently in the market and maintain its existing customer relationships. Both companies view this as the beginning of a long-term, value-driven partnership.
