Case Study: SEW-EURODRIVE achieves global SAP observability and zero-disruption operations with Avantra

SEW-EURODRIVE increases monitoring efficiency in SAP ERP and Smart Factory operation with Avantra

SEW-EURODRIVE, a leading manufacturer of drive and automation technology, faced the challenge of managing over 130 complex SAP systems in its Industry 4.0 production environment. Their previous monitoring tools were unreliable, and they needed a way to integrate IoT-driven manufacturing with their SAP operations to maintain high availability and minimize downtime across their global plants. They chose the Avantra intelligent observability and automation platform for their SAP landscape to solve these issues.

With the Avantra platform, SEW-EURODRIVE implemented centralized, global monitoring and developed over 650 custom checks. This solution provided predictive, automated operations and end-to-end system coverage. The measurable impact included fewer than 25 false alerts in 10 years, significantly reduced assembly line downtime, and the enabling of a new predictive maintenance cloud service for customers. Avantra empowered their teams to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive innovation.
