A core function of mobile platforms is the transportation of goods. SICK offers a wide solutions portfolio for detecting, positioning and identifying goods.
Load detection
Sensors detect the presence of goods, check for empty shelves or the correct alignment on the mobile platform towards the freight. The solutions range from simple detection sensors, through measuring devices, to 2D LiDAR sensors.
Detection with Photoelectric sensors
Detection with Ultrasonic sensors
Identification and tracking
SICK offers a comprehensive portfolio of all commonly used identification technologies. Scalable solutions for 1D and 2D bar codes as well as RFID technologies are available.
Identification using fixed mount bar code scanners
Load positioning
Sensors determine the dimensions of the load and its position on the mobile platform as well as in the storage locations.
Load positioning with photoelectric sensors
Load positioning with wire draw encoders
Load positioning with mid range distance sensors
