20.08.26 • Digitalization and automation are key drivers in improving efficiency, flexibility, and competitiveness in beverage production. We have compiled the most important trends shaping the industry's future, ranging from condition monitoring and predictive maintenance to sustainability and responsible operations.
Transparency and Condition Monitoring
In highly automated beverage production environments, transparency provides the foundation for process optimisation, improved efficiency, and effective risk management.
AI-powered solutions integrate data from multiple production systems and sources, providing a unified view of the entire production line's performance and condition. This enables faster decision-making, more accurate monitoring, and proactive maintenance planning.

Our Solution
DriveRadar® IoT Suite enables continuous monitoring of drive components, machines, and systems, providing reliable insights for condition monitoring and maintenance. By collecting and analysing operational data in real time, it helps identify potential issues early and supports proactive maintenance planning.
CDM® (Complete Drive Management) enhances transparency across the installed drive base by providing a clear overview of the condition and life cycle status of drive systems. The service covers not only SEW‑EURODRIVE drives but also drive technology from other manufacturers, enabling comprehensive asset management across the entire facility.
Predictive Maintenance and Machine Learning
Unplanned downtime causes production interruptions, unexpected costs, and delivery delays. Therefore, a predictive maintenance strategy is one of the most important ways to improve production efficiency.
Our Solution
DriveRadar® APPredict is an intuitive, browser-based application optimised for mobile devices that enables continuous condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of production equipment. The solution provides early warning of developing issues, helping maintenance teams make informed decisions and ensure maximum system availability.
Availability and Installed Base Management
High availability is a key requirement for production equipment. Up-to-date information on drive technology assets and spare parts is an essential part of predictive maintenance.
Our Solution
CDM® installed base management is suitable for drive technology from all manufacturers, including gearmotors, gear units, electric motors, and frequency inverters. An up-to-date installed base and spare parts inventory help anticipate required maintenance and repair activities, among other benefits.
Flexibility and automation
Growing product portfolios and fluctuating demand require greater flexibility from production operations, making it one of the most important competitive factors.
Our Solution
The modular and flexible MOVI‑C® automation system is suitable for all automation tasks in the beverage industry. It provides a unified and scalable platform ranging from gear units and induction motors to servo motors, drive systems, frequency inverters, and controllers.
Cybersecurity and Data Ownership
As digitalisation advances, the volume of data continues to grow, increasing the importance of protecting it. A secure infrastructure is essential for ensuring uninterrupted production.
Our Solution
DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector automatically collects valuable IoT device and sensor data from SEW‑EURODRIVE drive systems. The software stores analytics data in an external information system and enables easy access to the collected information.
Sustainability and Carbon Neutrality
New technologies play a key role in advancing sustainability. Digital solutions make energy consumption and emissions measurable and optimisable.
Our Solution
We offer comprehensive modernisation services, not only for individual components but also for entire machines and systems. Optimised processes can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%.
