Our On-site Customized Systems Training programs provide the practical knowledge to optimize, maintain and troubleshoot a variety of SICK automatic identification components and systems. These courses are custom developed around a customer’s actual application. 

Training is conducted in three parts:

1. Introduction and concepts are presented in a classroom environment
2. Hands-on, off-line diagnostics of systems with the conveyor turned off
3. Hands-on, run-time diagnostics with “live” product running through the system

(*1) Two weeks notice is required to schedule an On-site Product Training; four weeks notice is required to schedule an On-site Customized System Training.
(*2) An RFQ is required for all On-site Customized Systems Training. 

• Provides more formalized training to a lead person, who can pass information on to others.
• Single shift, program for a maximum of two persons, including training manuals.
• Training time is split between the equipment installation location and classroom type instruction.
• Price includes labor, travel, and expenses for the training instructor coming from SICK’s facility.

Airline Luggage Identification System (ALIS) with Remote Diagnostic Tool (RDT)
  
This course is designed for technicians and maintenance personnel responsible for monitoring performance and maintenance of the ALIS system.

This 8-hour course starts with basic scanner operations, specific to airline baggage systems, then covers the integration of the scanners into a system describing hardware components, cabling and component connections. Using RDT 400 on the installed system, selected displays are used to monitor run time operations and detect abnormal or suspect performance characteristics. Advanced OTC and scanner diagnostics are performed on the system along with scanner and OTC file maintenance procedures. System availability for training may impact the overall length of the course.

Camera System Diagnostics and Maintenance  
This course is designed for technicians and maintenance personnel responsible for monitoring performance and performing system maintenance. Camera Systems Operations is a prerequisite for this course.

This 5-hour session consists of two major maintenance tasks: using fault indicators to locate the source of the fault and performing component replacement. When a suspect component is found, additional diagnostics can be performed to verify the fault. Students will use the manual’s detailed diagnostic procedures to verify component operation. The uncomplicated design of component mounting along with the manual’s replacement procedures simplifies component replacement. System availability for training may impact the overall length of the course.
