Bend, OR, October 30, 2023 – DENT Instruments, Inc., which develops and produces market leading energy measuring and monitoring technology, is pleased to announce Jonas Greberg as its new Chief Executive Officer. Greberg assumed leadership in October of 2023. Christopher Dent, founder and chief engineer, stepped down from management but continues to provide guidance as Senior Advisor.

In late 2022, DENT Instruments was acquired by Bemsiq AB. Based in Sweden, Bemsiq provides building automation and power metering throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

“To use our resources, especially energy, in an efficient and sustainable way in the future, is a benefit for the environment, our customers, and the business,” said Greberg. “The Bemsiq-group has great ambitions to lead the journey toward smart and green buildings. DENT Instruments will be an important part of that both domestically and globally.”

“My goal is to honor and follow the legacy built by Christopher Dent,” said Greberg, a native of Sweden. “DENT already has a great reputation and manufactures high quality products and provides exemplary service. I will work with the DENT team to grow the business and continue build the most comprehensive line of products in the power submetering industry.”

Greberg holds a Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering and has extensive leadership experience working with various energy, building automation and engineering companies in Sweden prior to joining DENT. Greberg moved to Bend with his wife, three children and dog this summer.
“Bend is such a welcoming community. The fact that the area offers so many activities we enjoy, such as mountain biking, hiking, skiing and athletics has made the transition of moving to the States easy for us,” said Greberg. “It is such a beautiful place, and we are so excited for the opportunities.”

DENT Instruments, a global leader in the design and manufacture of power and energy measurement instruments, along with Emerson, a recognized leader in bringing technology and engineering together, have announced a strategic collaboration, making wireless power measurement a reality.

In an ongoing effort to improve equipment reliability and customer ease of use, DENT Instruments has combined their revenue-grade PowerScout 3037 Power Meter with Emerson’s Smart Wireless technology to provide a superior measurement solution that will greatly impact energy efficiency and sustainability for a vast array of customer markets.

“DENT’s versatile PowerScout Meters coupled with Emerson’s WirelessHART technology and global reach creates a much-needed energy information solution for our mutual commercial and industrial customers,” remarked Christopher Dent, President of DENT Instruments. “The DENT – Emerson partnership is a perfect blend of complementary technologies that brings increasingly important energy information to the world.”

This DENT-Emerson joint solution provides customers the following:

• “Easy to install” design and mounting features support plug-and-play deployment in new or existing WirelessHART® mesh networks;
• Measurement of over twenty energy variables are available to meet users’ needs;
• Optimized connectivity for 99.999% data reliability via WirelessHART’s self-organizing, self-healing mesh network technology; and
• Highly secure network communication via data encryption, critical key management, and end-to-end security features

The new Wireless Power Meter monitors voltage, current, power, energy, and other electrical parameters on single and three-phase electrical systems with revenue-grade accuracy. Continuously monitoring electricity consumption and power quality at submeter levels enables more granular energy management and effective monitoring.

“The introduction of the Power Meter to building maintenance, data centers, processing, industrial automation, cold chain, and more, will have a significant impact as it measures energy at the point of consumption,” says Ken Russell, President of Therm-O-Disc. “We are enabling customers to better understand their power usage quality and therefore improve their energy efficiency. The list of markets and industries that would benefit from using the Power Meter is long, and the benefits are substantial.”

Power Meter customer trial devices are available now through Emerson’s Therm-O-Disc business unit.
