How you benefit – three technologies for any application
Being a global company, SICK can support you wherever you are in the world. Our services comprise accurate analysis of your requirements, technical and systems expertise, strong products, and comprehensive on-site support. SICK is the market leader in automated identification, and can advise you on finding the right technology for your application. Whether laser, camera, or RFID: We will show you how all three technologies can be combined if required. Whether it be a permanently mounted sensor or a mobile handheld scanner, the best solution is always individually and precisely tailored to your requirements. With SICK, your visions become reality.
- Flexible reading of various code types, for example 2D codes such as data matrix codes, regardless of the code alignment (360°)
- Monitoring of code qualities to optimize processes by using code analytics in the device
- Subsequent image analysis as images of identified objects are stored
- Reading, evaluation, and analysis of severely damaged codes due to corrective image processing algorithms
- Reading of barcodes at various distances and with different object sizes with just one device thanks to a large depth of field
- A single device also provides coverage of wide reading areas due to a large aperture angle
- High read stability even in varying ambient light due to outstanding ambient light immunity
- Low commissioning costs as auto-focus function means setup couldn't be simpler
- Reliable identification of concealed or contaminated objects, as no visual contact with the RFID tag is necessary
- Identification of large objects with undefined tag position due to large reading distances and reading field widths
- Reads and writes data
- High level of counterfeit protection and data protection due to encrypted data transmission
- Mobile scanning of a variety of code types (for example barcodes and 2D codes such as data matrix codes) and ability to read the code regardless of its orientation (360°) – for maximum flexibility
- Reading distances of up to 16 m for time-saving code scanning and therefore higher productivity
- Solutions from a single source: either as a supplement to our permanently mounted identification sensors and systems or as a standalone solution
- Mobile handheld scanners and external devices can also be integrated into our customer's machine and plant control systems via our fieldbus module
SICK gives you that choice. Three technologies, one philosophy: Your customer requirements come first.
4Dpro – THE FLEXIBILITY YOU NEED
The sensor manufacturer SICK offers a broad portfolio of identification and vision solutions which are developed and produced in-house. Whichever solution you choose today, you can be sure of a flexible future with the 4Dpro concept. All 4Dpro sensors are compatible and interchangeable with one another. Standardized connectivity, a standardized user interface, and a standardized accessory concept – we call this unique combination 4Dpro.
Investment security, easy commissioning, low level of training required, fast and flexible exchange, even when switching between different identification technologies.
