Safelog, the specialists for software for controlling intralogistics processes, have entered into a cooperation with the drive experts from SEW Eurodrive at LogiMAT in order to jointly develop a high-performance software for controlling mobile and stationary processes in intralogistics.
As part of the collaboration, Safelog will assume the role of the software provider and will further develop its existing system in a targeted and needs-based manner. SEW-Eurodrive will continue to focus on the development of mobile and now also stationary robots, as well as other automation solutions that can be integrated into the software system in a modular and highly productive way.
Pooling strengths
SEW-Eurodrive plans system.integrator to market these products as standalone units, bundles with drive technology, or integrated solutions. Under the Maxolution brand, the Bruchsal-based family business also intends to implement complete projects as a
“The aim of the cooperation is to establish a software system on the market that sets new standards in the control of intralogistics processes – flexible, scalable, and consistently geared towards the user's requirements”says Hans Krattenmacher, Managing Director of Corporate Innovation Mechatronics at SEW-Eurodrive. Both partners can thus concentrate on their strengths and benefit from a future-oriented, collaborative approach.
Convinced of the added value
Michael Wolter, owner and managing director of Safelog, is also convinced of the added value of the collaboration: “We are combining our strengths and developing a state-of-the-art software system for the automation of the future. This allows us to offer customers perfect solutions today for goods-to-person applications as well as for classic logistics processes – with high-performance mobile and stationary robotics.”
The solution will not only be used by customers, but also gradually implemented in SEW-Eurodrive's own plants to demonstrate its potential in real-world operation. "With this cooperation, we are jointly taking a decisive step towards a software-defined factory based on high-performance mobile and stationary robots, which, regardless of the application, draws on SEW-Eurodrive's Movi-C automation toolkit"adds Krattenmacher.
