AGVs are automatically controlled and guided without manual intervention. Sensors from SICK offer technically leading solutions for navigation, positioning, measurement, identification and safeguarding functions on automated guided vehicles and their systems.
ASRS are rail-guided, single-lane vehicles for the storage and retrieval of goods in high-bay warehouses. Sensors are an important component of these fully automated systems and are used for positioning, controlling, communicating, and safeguarding these vehicles.
Industrial trucks designed for use in narrow aisles pose particular risks to pedestrians within the aisle. Safety and productivity are the main reasons for automated measurement, verification, monitoring and safeguarding.
Long distances can be rapidly covered with transfer vehicles, even with heavy loads. Despite transfer vehicles' simple level of automation and movement, this type of vehicle must nevertheless operate safely and reliably within its work environment.
Lift trucks are one of the most important transport vehicles for goods of all types at almost all companies. Automating the functions of a manned lift truck related to positioning, monitoring, tracking and identification enable fewer accidents, less material damage and higher productivity.
Electric Telpher conveyors (ETC) are a monorail-bound means of transport with individually driven vehicles. The vehicles can move autonomously on the rail system. Sensors for stop functions and human protection, or to prevent vehicles from approaching each other too closely, ensure a smooth, efficient flow of goods.
