Production logistics get smart
Closing the circle - Sensor solutions in production logistics - even for the smallest spaces in production

Functional safety
Boost your productivity - with safety solutions from SICK
By partnering with us, you can benefit from our expertise in the functional safety of productivity-increasing safety solutions. So that your processes run smoothly, man and machine work as a team, and we can jointly push the boundaries of what is achievable.

Working together as equals
Sensor solutions for robotics
Humans and robots are working more closely together. Sensors help robots make more intelligent decisions and give them the ability to sense objects, the environment, or their own position. Thanks to sensors from SICK, robots perceive more precisely - the prerequisite for close collaboration. For all challenges in the field of robotics: Robot Vision, Safe Robotics, End-of-Arm Tooling, and Position Feedback.

E-Mobility
Electromobility as a driver of innovation
More and more vehicles are relying on electric motors instead of combustion engines and “intelligence” is increasingly being built into vehicles. Developments in the area of electromobility are having a massive impact on industry as a whole.

Industry 4.0 is picking up speed
Sensor solutions for mobile vehicles and carts
Automated flexibility for mobile vehicles and carts: Our modular solutions portfolio for mobile platforms now makes it possible to implement line guidance, navigation, positioning, environmental recognition, security and load handling with ease.

Efficient automobile production with RFID technology
There is a long road to travel between the body shop and the new car’s first outing. Checks are required at many points along the way to ensure that the car is being produced exactly as the customer had intended upon ordering. In the German city of Neckarsulm, Audi is solving this task with the help of an RFID-based identification solution that covers all the types of tasks being carried out at its plant.

Challenges

Safety
Flexible processes and human-robot collaboration (HRC) present special challenges for safety technology in the automotive industry. SICK offers a broad range of safety solution technology here which can be integrated very well into machine and system controls. SICK also supports customers with a comprehensive service package which includes consultation, commissioning assistance, training and education.

Flexible automation
The demand for an increasing number of vehicle types as well as electronic devices and the multitude of individual customer requirements dictate the need for enhanced flexibility and also efficient production. Modern, intelligent sensors from SICK are able to store settings, use automatic teach-in and diagnostic capabilities, and independently evaluate and relay the sensor data in processes. The sensors therefore make a significant contribution towards meeting the requirements of flexible automation.

Quality control
SICK offers the right solution for all quality control applications: Photoelectric proximity sensors for checking that components are present in the assembly process, displacement measurement sensors for precise measurement of components, vision sensors for identifying components and 3D vision systems for high-end testing. All these sensors ensure that the high quality level demanded is achieved.

Track and trace
Reliable identification of objects is a prerequisite for a smooth production flow, and lays the foundations for traceability and continuous quality improvement. SICK offers a wide range of both RFID technology and permanently installed and mobile readers for bar codes and 2D codes. This ensures gap-free traceability throughout the entire production process. Whether 1D, 2D, 3D or RFID – with the 4Dpro, SICK offers uniform connectivity, user interfaces and accessories.
