By ·

Key takeaways

  • Aeva signed a supply agreement with Micro-Epsilon that includes a multi-thousand sensor order.
  • Micro-Epsilon ships more than 100,000 precision sensors annually for factory automation and quality control.
  • Micro-Epsilon plans to integrate Aeva's FMCW-based Eve technology for co-axial measurement regardless of materials, stand-off distance and lighting.

Aeva signed a supply agreement with Micro-Epsilon that includes a multi-thousand sensor order for factory automation sensing solutions, Business Wire reported on November 3, 2026. Micro-Epsilon plans to integrate Aeva's Eve high-precision technology into its next-generation sensing products.

How the Micro-Epsilon Integration Works

Micro-Epsilon ships more than 100,000 precision sensors annually for factory automation and quality control, including distance and thickness measurement in automotive, robotics, electronics and semiconductor industries. The company is using Aeva's FMCW-based technology to bring co-axial measurement at speed and accuracy regardless of materials, stand-off distance and lighting, which the companies say can improve throughput, quality control and costs in manufacturing.

"Aeva's technology sets a new standard for accuracy, speed and versatility in high-precision sensing for factory automation," said Dr. Thomas Wisspeintner, CEO at Micro-Epsilon. "By bringing Eve's capabilities into Micro-Epsilon's product portfolio, we will enable our customers to automate and control processes more reliably and efficiently across a broader range of applications."

Soroush Salehian, Co-founder and CEO at Aeva, said the technology delivers the precision and speeds required in factory automation where current solutions are challenged. "Micro-Epsilon's selection of Aeva further demonstrates our commercial momentum with leaders in industrial sensing," Salehian said. Behsan Behzadi, Head of Product at Aeva, said Micro-Epsilon's trust is validation of the scalability and versatility of the technology.

Aeva's Funding and Production Record

Aeva completed a $115 million follow-on equity offering in June 2026 at a $1.647 billion valuation, extending operating runway ahead of expected 2028 production ramps, according to akta.pro company records. The same records list a $100 million convertible senior notes investment from Apollo Global Management due 2032 at a 4.375% interest rate, announced in November 2025, and total funding of $683.5 million.

Earlier Aeva Industrial and Automotive Steps

Aeva's 4D LiDAR received regulatory certification as a secondary speed measurement device for Sensys Gatso's automated speed enforcement system in Australia, Stock Titan reported in October 2026, enabling dual-sensor verification with Atlas measuring velocity across up to six lanes. In May 2026, Aeva delivered initial C-sample Atlas 4D LiDAR units to Daimler Truck North America and Torc Robotics for series production of SAE Level 4 autonomous Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia trucks, with North American production capacity planned at up to 200,000 units annually, according to akta.pro records.

Aeva's 2028 Production Timeline

Aeva secured an exclusive global Tier-1 production contract with a Top 10 European passenger OEM for Level 3 automation vehicles, with production starting in 2028, according to akta.pro records. The company's June 2026 offering was described as extending runway ahead of expected 2028 production ramps.
