Advantages
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 hand-held 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 bar codes 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 bar codes 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 hand-held 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.
