<\/a><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo enhance the value of these vital face-to-face discussions, SEW-EURODRIVE will have management and technical experts on hand throughout the exhibition. Dedicated meeting areas will also allow for more private discussions around operational challenges, project requirements or longer-term strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the company\u2019s second exhibition stand which is in Hall 4, SEW-EURODRIVE will focus on its electronics offerings while also showcasing its on-site energy surveys. The company\u2019s experts will demonstrate how they use advanced tools to conduct these surveys and the important benefits they deliver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will unveil selected newer technologies on our stands with the focus on showing how this innovation is driven by customer need,\u201d McKey says. \u201cWe avoid promoting products for their own sake; rather, we use these forums to ask visitors about the technical challenges they face and then we design our solutions to address them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This extends beyond physical equipment to include digital tools, training, service agreements and maintenance programmes. SEW-EURODRIVE will also be showcasing its training, digital solutions, after-sales and maintenance service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnother theme at the exhibition will be the modernisation of existing plant infrastructure,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is particularly relevant to mining operations where legacy equipment often remains in service for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n While older systems may still be functional, their performance may be compromised and cost effectiveness may not be optimal. SEW-EURODRIVE increasingly works with customers to evaluate existing installations, comparing them against current technologies and identifying opportunities for improvement. This can include energy surveys, drivetrain assessments, maintenance reviews and broader operational optimisation studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can modernise those products, give better service life and make an impact across multiple facets of a customer\u2019s business – including running costs,\u201d he says. \u201cWe can enhance all of that by modernising the plant with technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Importantly, the company aims to reduce the disruption often associated with upgrading legacy infrastructure with specialised solutions to streamline the transition while mitigating the associated risk. Another key talking point across the stands will be SEW-EURODRIVE\u2019s growing service capability in South Africa including its expanded aftermarket support, reverse engineering and repair services. This capability extends beyond servicing its own products, to include other OEMs\u2019 equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur recently expanded facilities in Aeroton, Johannesburg, have further improved our service capabilities not just for our own product but also for non-SEW products,\u201d he says. \u201cWith our depth of technical expertise and specialised workshop equipment, we can reverse engineer and repair obsolete products back to workable health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n By visiting SEW-EURODRIVE, Electra Mining Africa visitors can begin a holistic discussion about their current operational demands and future plans at their specific mine or industrial plant. The experienced SEW-EURODRIVE people on hand at the exhibition will help plot the road the improved asset performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur presence further underscores that mining remains a major global growth sector for us, especially as mines look for ways of getting minerals out of the ground more efficiently,\u201d McKey says. \u201cThis pressure is accelerating demand for modern drive technology, automation and broader operational optimisation which are the areas where we see growing opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n McKey also expects plenty of interest from Electra Mining Africa visitors in infrastructure development and asset improvement more broadly. He notes that SEW-EURODRIVE is increasingly becoming involved in projects that not only support industrial operations, but help modernise economies through better engineering, improved reliability and smarter technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEW-EURODRIVE Hall 5 J20<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEW-EURODRIVE Hall 4 C12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Industry-specific focus and life cycle support are the standout features of SEW-EURODRIVE\u2019s presence at Electra Mining Africa 2026, according to Jonathan McKey, National Sales & Marketing Manager at SEW-EURODRIVE. \u201cOur exhibition stands will reflect how we partner with customers across the full operational lifecycle \u2013 from new installations through to maintenance, upgrades, optimisation and long-term … Continue reading INDUSTRY EXPERTISE DRIVES SEW-EURODRIVE\u2019S ELECTRA MINING AFRICA PRESENCE.<\/span> <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
