There is no other industry where production flow is as important as in the automotive industry. In the same way that the vehicles immerse in the digital world with all the electronics and communicative functions, automation solutions must be intelligently, efficiently and comprehensively become part of the manufacturing processes. Mobile assembly assistants, for example, are used as mobile workbenches and allow for optimum human-technology interaction.

Depending on the industry and application, different requirements must be met for the automation of your machines. With our machine automation solutions that are tailored to your needs, you get reliable, innovative technologies that are quickly available and future-proof – everything from one manufacturer. This guarantees the utmost flexibility regarding changing requests, a high-precision product flow as well as fast startup and intuitive operation.

In automotive production, every minute counts: Manufacturers who produce "just in time" and "just in sequence" cannot afford downtime. This requires flexible, efficient drive solutions and intelligent automation designs. Benefit from our fully integrated drive solutions that have been specifically tailored to your automobile production needs.

Your logistics systems have to move immense quantities of goods every day. System availability is a number one priority. Precise control and finely stepped torques ensure accurate positioning and gentle handling of transported materials. Packages and pallets always arrive safely, reliably and efficiently at their destinations.

As beverage companies, our customers constantly have to adjust their systems to new processes, batches and production programs based on changing seasons and markets. Our modular system of drive components, customer-specific system solutions and the fast worldwide availability of our drive technology ensure that their production and filling systems always meet their current requirements.

In the future, airport operators will have to transport passengers and their baggage even more quickly and efficiently. One contributing factor will be the ability to keep airplane downtimes as short as possible. This is why you should count on us, your experienced system solutions partner. For years now, drive technology "made by SEW-EURODRIVE" has been playing a vital role in ensuring smooth transport and logistics procedures at a host of international airports.

Wherever effective automation based on dynamic, powerful and precise movements is required, SEW-EURODRIVE is the right partner. Thanks to active communication with our customers and our many years of experience in the field, we have in-depth knowledge of a wide variety of industrial sectors around the world. We are sure to have the right solution for your sector, too.

With our Life Cycle Services – in addition to our support services – we offer a wide range of supporting resources and tools throughout the entire system's life cycle. This begins in the initial orientation phase and continues all the way through to the operation and modernization of your machinery and systems. No matter at what point of the life cycle you are: We are at your side. As good partners, we are there for you, even when things are going well.

Before you invest a lot of money in new systems and machines, we offer advice and assistance. This way, we make sure we are on the right path and, as a good partner, show you everything that is possible. We offer expertise and provide all required information to help you make an easy decision.

Co-engineering is our first priority to guarantee optimized planning. You tell us your ideas and requirements and together we develop a drive and automation solution tailored to your application needs. This is possible thanks to experts who are always near. Of course, you can also access all our supporting planning and engineering tools at your workplace via our Online Support customer portal.

You are looking for smooth procurement instead of complicated logistic procedures? With us as your partner, you profit from our comprehensive know-how also in this phase of your system's life cycle. By increasing both speed and quality in dealing with your inquiries and orders, you ensure smooth and more efficient logistical processes.

You want your systems up and running successfully, cost-effectively and on time? Then you require a capable partner to support you during startup. We ensure the functionality of your system by a certified installation of the drive and automation technology. At the same time, we help you optimizing your machine and system processes, decreasing your startup costs and preventing consequential damage.

The "Operation" phase is the phase that most influences the life cycle costs of your machines and systems. This is why we are there for you – even if everything is running smoothly. We support you to guarantee that your production is reliable and efficient. We are happy to show you where you can further reduce your costs and how to increase the productivity of your system.

Not only does the legal and normative framework change with the increased service life of a system. Also the requirements regarding productivity, performance, as well as system and parts availability change. This means modernization of the system – or even just parts of it.
