Central platform
because all automation tools can be orchestrated through a single, web-based interface – regardless of location or field device.
Full transparency
because you always keep an overview of all changes, versions, and backups.
Continuous availability
because systems can be restored quickly and reliably in the event of a fault.
Fewer on-site visits
because field devices can be updated remotely – secure and encrypted.
High system interoperability
because the platform works with SEW-EURODRIVE products as well as third-party components.
How can you go digital and still reduce complexity in automation? Modern factories are characterized by a wide range of machines, robots, and automation components: from controllers, motion control systems, and drives to HMIs and edge devices from various manufacturers. This technological diversity creates significant administrative effort: different engineering tools, local software installations, and manual updates make efficient management challenging.

SEW-EURODRIVE’s OrchestrationSuite addresses the complexity with a web-based platform for managing, versioning, and securing automation software. It takes software management to a new technological level: centralized, cloud-based, and vendor-independent.
With SEW-EURODRIVE’s OrchestrationSuite, we are redefining the future of industrial automation. Our approach: software management becomes simple, transparent and vendor independent, fully browser based and built on integrated DevOps principles. Our goal is clear: Simplify Automation with less complexity, higher productivity and fully digital management of the complete automation software.Milan Licina

1. User interface (Frontend)
Custom authentication and role-based permissions ensure secure access control. Everything runs in the browser, no local installation required.
2. Cloud environment (Tenant)
Each customer receives a dedicated, isolated cloud space. All projects, users, and permissions are managed securely and kept separate from other tenants.
3. PLC Ops – backup and versioning
This engine automatically creates backups, versions, and deployments of control code: vendor-independent and securely encrypted.
4. Engineering tools: cloud-based development environment
Pre-installed engineering tools (e.g., MOVISUITE®) run directly in the cloud. No installation, updates, or compatibility issues, just start and work in your browser.
5. AI factory agent: intelligent assistance
An AI model for automation that understands and documents control code, and will increasingly support development and maintenance tasks.
6. Connectivity server: secure connection management
The server-side node within the tenant manages encrypted communication and on-demand VPN connections between the cloud and the plant.
7. Connectivity client: bridge to the factory
Runs on a local edge or gateway device behind the customer firewall. It enables secure access to controllers and devices in the production network and connects them to the cloud when needed, always controlled and traceable.
The goal: simplify automation.
OrchestrationSuite is the central platform for next-generation automation software. It simplifies complexity, accelerates digital transformation, and makes using automation technology as easy as modern IT services. The platform delivers four key modules designed to maximize user benefits:
Secure connectivity and access control
The cloud solution enables role-based access management, scaling according to requirements, and cross-site access to machines and systems.
Backup, deployment and versioning
Software backup, versioning (including comparison), and deployment can be performed either through integrated engineering tools or via automated deployment and backup pipelines.
Translate PLC code into human language
The AI-powered assistant helps users analyze control code and automatically generate technical documentation.
Cloud-based engineering tools
The browser-based architecture gives you access to different versions of engineering tools and IDEs from multiple vendors, without any local software installation.
Use Case – Development (Dev): Development scenario for distributed automation teams
With OrchestrationSuite, automation teams collaborate seamlessly across locations on software projects, directly in the cloud. Changes to PLC code are securely versioned, automatically documented, and fully transparent for all stakeholders. Every modification is time-stamped and assigned to a responsible person. Teams can develop in parallel, compare changes, and restore previous versions when needed. Engineering and development tools from various vendors are also available in the cloud.
Key benefits of this approach:
Use Case – Operations (Ops): Central management of automation software for production systems
Manufacturers securely connect their production systems to the cloud via gateways. The OrchestrationSuite becomes a central platform through which internal teams and external partners – depending on their authorization – can access relevant tools. Updates, backups and analyzes can be controlled centrally. This reduces on-site visits, speeds up service and increases system availability. All changes are documented automatically and can be traced at any time. Controlled access for third parties: External service providers receive access limited in time or content – secure and efficient without compromising system integrity.
