The intelligent factory from a single source

  • SEW image

As an automation partner and system supplier, we offer you, in addition to a broad base of infrastructure systems and software solutions - tailored to the individual processes and interfaces, comprehensive support in planning and project management in the implementation and commissioning of your Industry 4.0 factory.

In Virtual Reality, all aspects of operation and processes can be performed in real time.

In Virtual Reality, all aspects of operation and processes can be performed in real time.

The implementation of the Smart Factory in the virtual world.

For us, this includes not only consulting, planning and project management, but also digital services such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), which open up new options. In the smart factory, tablets and data glasses project assembly and maintenance instructions into the real field of vision of the employees and make complex issues easier and more understandable. In the spirit of "seeing more, knowing more", assistance is offered during the learning phase and the potential for error is reduced, particularly when there is a high level of variance.

Numerous customer projects and last but not least the company's own plants are proof that we don't just talk about Industry 4.0, but have brought our own vision to life. Taking into account the principles of value creation, innovative concepts for various tasks in logistics, assembly and production are tested and continuously developed at our locations. And under real conditions!

Our services for the system planning of your Smart Factory according to the principles of Industry 4.0:

Breaking down the block layouts

Material flow planning

Technical assessment / feasibility

rough simulation

Detailed scale layouts & scenarios

technology specification

System planning & project planning

Fine simulation (also in virtual reality)

Together to success

In terms of holistic factory planning and implementation, process solutions are planned, projected and then implemented by SEW experts together with customers.

We rely on a tiered concept.

The first phase involves determining the basic data, identifying potential and developing a schematic vision concept. This is a holistic, schematic concept for your smart factory, regardless of restrictions. The ideal image of your intelligent factory is created by scaling the vision concept with consideration for premises and restrictions.

Your added value from this phase:

An interdisciplinary team has developed a viable vision for a highly efficient and highly flexible smart factory in terms of human-technology cooperation and interactive networking.

Solution ideas are based on a holistic system view.

More concrete concepts for the redesign are scaled to the agreed area and adapted to short-term feasibility, recommendations for action for the subsequent project phases are defined.

This actual recording of the relevant basic data (product and process structures, information and control system, customer-specific key figures) for the system is of course done together with the area managers and the current/later users.

In the second phase, the findings are converted into a block layout and material flow planning takes place. A first rough simulation gives an idea of ​​the processes in your smart factory.

Your added value from the two phases:

Common understanding of the current situation and framework conditions

Transparency and detailed understanding of the production processes and control concepts in the area under consideration

Required data is determined, summarised and consolidated

Potentials and levers are identified and quantified

The basis for Smart Factory introduction is known, fields of action are defined

Inspection of the planned simulation.

As part of detailed planning, the implementation takes place in detailed, true-to-scale layouts and scenarios. Our technology and process experts plan and design the system solution. In the course of this, the route and radio planning as well as the process-adapted design of the energy infrastructure are carried out using SEW's own tools.

Using virtual reality technologies, the finely planned simulation of the system and factory can be walked through virtually and gives the customer an idea of ​​what will then be implemented. During the entire implementation, our customer is supported by intensive project management, right through to installation, commissioning and start-up support.

Our services:

Project management as a service

Project management by certified project managers

Project management process specially developed for customer projects, adaptable to the respective industry

Alignment of the processes to the current standards (PMI/IPMA/GPM)

Self-developed project management tool, adapted to our processes for effective project management

Training of customer project managers based on our processes and experience

Your added value:

Planning security thanks to realistic estimates and close coordination between SEW-EURODRIVE and the customer

Efficient use of resources through better planning security

Reduction of technical, legal and tax risks through continuous and structured risk management

Organization of workshops for close coordination in the project either at the customer or at SEW-EURODRIVE

Continuous status reporting throughout the project

A contact person for the duration of the project increases trust and improves communication
