SEW-Eurodrive introduced a customized barcode labeling service designed to simplify product identification, streamline logistics and optimize material flow for industrial customers.
Designed for high-volume, efficiency-driven operations, DriveTag helps manufacturers, OEMs and system integrators achieve faster throughput, fewer errors and greater traceability – all through a streamlined labeling solution.
“DriveTag transforms the way our customers manage their operations, connecting physical inventory with digital intelligence,” says Jeff Belk, mechanical product manager at SEW-Eurodrive. “By embedding customer-defined data into every product label, we’re giving them the ability to automate identification, improve visibility and take control of their internal logistics with speed and precision.”
Each DriveTag is a custom barcode label applied directly to SEW-Eurodrive products or packaging. Customers determine the data embedded in the tag – such as material number, purchase order, project number and SEW serial number – creating a fully personalized system that mirrors their internal processes.
DriveTags are available in multiple barcode formats, including DataMatrix, Code 39, Code 128 and PDF417, ensuring compatibility with existing scanners and data-capture systems. With one quick scan, users can instantly identify products electronically, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors across receiving, warehousing, assembly and service operations.
DriveTag integrates with customers’ enterprise resource planning and inventory management systems. When scanned, DriveTag data flows directly into existing systems, creating real-time transparency across all stages of the material flow process.
The Product ID Plus app from SEW-Eurodrive, meanwhile, further enhances convenience. By scanning the DriveTag QR code, users can instantly access product-specific data, technical documentation and service options on their smartphone or tablet.
