Our Generation B modular automation system – which includes popular products such as MOVIFIT®, MOVIDRIVE® B, MOVITRAC® B, and MOVIAXIS® – has been used with great success in countless applications and sectors for many years. In conjunction with innovative functions such as software application modules for programming-free startup, this system's reliability and user-friendly operation have continuously boosted our customers' competitiveness.
Despite the Generation B modular automation system enjoying many years of success and benefiting from continuous further development, market needs and customer preferences change over time, meaning that growing technological and standards-based requirements need to be considered.
In order that we can continue actively boosting our customers' competitiveness and offer them the latest innovations, the products in the Generation B modular automation system are gradually being switched over to the new MOVI‑C® modular system.
We have listed the exact dates for the product phase-outs and the related changes below. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
At SEW‑EURODRIVE, a product phase-out follows a fixed process based on the product life cycle (PLC), and this general procedure applies to all SEW-EURODRIVE's standard mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic products.
The following overview shows the current schedule for the product phase-outs:
