Lyman, SC – SEW-EURODRIVE, a global leader in drive automation and motion technology, announced the U.S. launch of DriveTag™, a customized barcode labeling service engineered to simplify product identification, streamline logistics, and optimize internal material flow for industrial customers.
Designed for today’s high-volume, high-efficiency operations, DriveTag empowers manufacturers, OEMs, and system integrators to achieve faster throughput, fewer errors, and greater traceability, all through a simple yet powerful labeling solution.
Each DriveTag is a custom-engineered barcode label applied directly to SEW-EURODRIVE products or their packaging. Customers define the data embedded in the tag, such as their own material number, purchase order number, project number, and the 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 goes beyond labeling; it connects seamlessly with a customer’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) or inventory management platforms. When scanned, DriveTag data flows directly into existing systems, creating real-time transparency across all stages of the material flow process.
Additionally, the Product ID plus app from SEW-EURODRIVE enhances convenience and access: by scanning the DriveTag QR code, users can immediately retrieve product-specific data, technical documentation, and service options right on their smartphone or tablet.
DriveTag delivers measurable efficiency and operational value across every stage of product handling:
