The Graben-Neudorf showcase factory

From Drive & Automation technology to complete system

In the showcase factory at the Graben-Neudorf site, the company tests their own newly developed solutions under real – not laboratory – conditions. Real customer orders are created end-to-end in the showcase factory.

Industry 4.0 is an evolution in production and logistics processes. SEW-EURODRIVE is also developing and testing networking technologies, systems and processes in its own processes first. The lean philosophy forms the basis for the successful implementation of the Industry 4.0 approach at SEW-EURODRIVE.
