SEW-EURODRIVE delivers complete, scalable solutions engineered for high-throughput airport applications such as baggage handling and complex material-flow logistics. Modular architectures simplify design, reduce commissioning time, and support flexible modernization. Operators rely on our proven uptime, quiet operation, and exact positioning. With decentralized drives, single-cable technology, high-efficiency motors, and predictive maintenance tools, SEW-EURODRIVE provides the performance, diagnostics, and global support needed to keep airport operations and logistics running smoothly. Decentralized Drive Solutions The decentralized product family is a grouping of distributed drive and automation solutions engineered to simplify installation, reduce energy consumption, and maximize system uptime across high-throughput baggage handling and logistics environments. MOVIGEAR® combines motor, gear unit, and electronics in one efficient housing for energy-saving, fast conveyor setup. MOVIMOT® Performance / MOVIMOT® Advanced integrates a gearmotor and inverter to reduce wiring, save space, and deliver flexible torque control. MOVIPRO® Technology provides decentralized motion and control for positioning, coordination, and zone management. Combined, these technologies streamline commissioning, reduce wiring by as much as 80%, and support modular, scalable system designs, perfect for building or modernizing baggage handling, material handling, and parcel logistics systems across today’s demanding airport facilities. Single Cable Technology Gearmotors with MOVILINK® DDI single cable technology use a true digital motor-interface, transmitting power, data, and diagnostics over one single cable, unlike analog feedback systems. This enables simplified plug-and-play setup, automatic drive/motor pairing, richer condition data, and faster commissioning, making it ideal for high-throughput logistics automation and conveyor systems. DR2C IE5 synchronous motors deliver maximum energy efficiency for airport logistics. Certified to the highest IE class, they reduce power consumption through optimized speed control, smart time management, and right-sized load profiles—keeping baggage moving reliably while cutting operating costs. DriveRadar® IoT Suite brings powerful predictive maintenance to airport baggage handling. It detects faults early, reduces unplanned downtime, and enables data-driven service planning. With easy retrofit, no extra hardware, and cloud/edge monitoring, airports gain faster diagnostics, smarter maintenance, and higher long-term system reliability. MOVI-C® Modular Automation Platform is a fully unified automation and drive platform that combines motion control, power electronics, and engineering tools in one ecosystem. With seamless component integration, auto-parameterization, and advanced diagnostics, MOVI-C® simplifies design, speeds commissioning, and delivers precise, scalable performance for complex baggage handling and logistics automation. The first cross-belt sorter for Baggage Handling To ensure luggage arrives reliably and quickly, you need technology that thinks ahead. With the help of SEW-EURODRIVE, Alstef Group has developed the first cross-belt sorter designed specifically for airports. American Airlines Saves Nearly 40% in Energy Costs at LAX LAX Terminal 4 baggage handling system upgrade met Title 24, power, space, and expansion needs for American Airlines and TSA. Gatwick Airport in London is experiencing constantly rising traffic. The existing luggage transportation systems were expanded in order to cope with this increase. Munich Airport implemented SEW-EURODRIVE's variant management in Terminal 1 to optimize the number of drive variants and reduce the spare parts inventory.
