Casper Herzberg, Schneider Electric Zone President Middle East and Africa, officially opened The Schneider Electric Rainbow Hive on
12 December 2016. This building, which serves as the new Schneider Electric South African headquarters in Waterfall City, Midrand, is designed
to provide an exciting and fun, yet functional and dynamic work space that enables better collaboration and engagement which leads to
improved productivity. The building is also energy efficient and environmentally friendly with energy generated from solar panels on the roof
and recycling of materials such as wood from packing cases used in the construction of the building.

Launch of VEGA’s
latest radar level sensor
“I believe that 80% of all level measurement sensors
sold within the next three years will be radar sensors,
making ultrasonic technology obsolete”, declared John
Groom, VEGA Group Director for Africa at the launch
of VEGA’s latest radar sensor the VEGAPULS WL S 61.
Speaking at the Roodepoort Golf Club where the launch
took place, John Groom reminded the assembled
guests that when VEGA launched the VEGAPULS 64 in
2016, a new standard was set for radar sensors.
