SebaKMT

What SebaKMT does

SebaKMT (legally SebaKMT Megger Germany GmbH) is a Baunach, Germany-based developer and manufacturer of measurement equipment for locating leaks and monitoring drinking water distribution networks, operating as a subsidiary of the Megger diversified test-and-measurement group. Founded in 1951, the company sells acoustic leak detection instruments, IoT-based network monitoring sensors, correlators, ground microphones, flow measurement devices, and pipe location systems to water utilities, municipal water suppliers, and industrial water users across Europe, North America, and Africa. Its core technology stack centers on the SmartEAR IoT noise logger family with up to 9-year battery life and AES 128-bit encrypted transmission, the POSEYEDON Cloud analytics and visualization platform, and the Correlux C-3 correlator, supported by proprietary signal-processing and correlation techniques developed over decades of domain specialization.

The company's revenue mix combines one-time hardware sales (SmartEAR, HL 7000, Sebaflow, Ferrolux, and related product lines), recurring software subscriptions via POSEYEDON Cloud, and paid professional training services through Anwenderseminare (€2,410 per participant, 4-day program) and Expertenseminare (€2,690 per participant, 3-day program) delivered at training facilities in Baunach and Prien am Chiemsee. Hardware pricing is quote-based with no public list prices, reflecting an enterprise B2B sales-led motion segmented regionally into Germany, Austria/Switzerland, and International.

The go-to-market is direct sales supplemented by industry events, the multilingual (13+ language) corporate website, a YouTube channel, LinkedIn presence, and strategic IoT-connectivity partnerships with telcos including Vodafone and Telekom. Named deployments include Stadtwerke Witten, Stadt Baunach, Miami Dade County, SAUR France, Ohio Utilities, and South Africa's Gauteng province. Operational quality is signaled by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications issued by DEKRA in 2025.

Core offering

SebaKMT develops and manufactures acoustic leak detection and water network monitoring equipment for drinking water distribution networks, including IoT noise loggers (SmartEAR), correlators (Correlux C-3), ground microphones (HL 7000, HL 50-BT), flow measurement devices (Sebaflow, UDM 300), and pipe location systems (Ferrolux, Carloc, Easyloc, Rohrspecht RSP 3). The hardware is complemented by the POSEYEDON cloud analytics platform for real-time visualization and the SmartEAR-Go! setup app, enabling water utilities to detect leaks, reduce non-revenue water, and prevent pipe bursts.

Product overview

SebaKMT offers a comprehensive water leak detection and network monitoring solution portfolio. The core offering centers on SmartEAR, an IoT-based acoustic noise logger for permanent network monitoring combined with POSEYEDON Cloud for data analytics and visualization. The product range includes electroacoustic devices (HL 7000, HL 50-BT) for field leak detection, Correlux C-3 correlators for precise leak location, flow measurement devices (Sebaflow Classic, Sebaflow-Bat, UDM 300) for Non Revenue Water analysis, pipe location systems (Ferrolux, Carloc, Easyloc, Rohrspecht RSP 3), and valve rod search equipment (VM-880). The modular SmartEAR+ family (eC, ePF, iP, eH) provides specialized monitoring extensions. Software includes POSEYEDON Cloud platform and SmartEAR-Go! setup app. Together these products enable water utilities to detect leaks early, reduce Non Revenue Water, and maintain infrastructure efficiently.
