Load Handling
Ensure safe and efficient load handling throughout the warehouse. Typical applications include Pallet profiling and over-height detection, or pallet/dolly positioning for automated guided vehicles and fork lifts.
Detection
Pallet Pocket
3D snapshot - for the detection and position determination of pallet pockets.
The Pallet Pocket Detection SensorApp provides the data required for precise detection of storage spaces and pallets. It runs directly on the Visionary-T AP 3D vision sensor from SICK. The measured values required to pick up the pallet are pre-processed and evaluated on the sensor, then transmitted to the control of the automated manned forklift truck. The Pallet Pocket Detection SensorApp is based on SICK AppSpace and can be loaded on the sensor as a complete, application-specific Key App.
Dolly Detection
Precision is key when it comes to the automated pick-up of dollies with an automated guided vehicle system (AGV system). The fine positioning of the AGV system requires the exact identification of the relative place and position of the dolly. The Dolly Positioning SensorApp provides the data needed for this purpose. It runs directly on the Visionary-T AP 3D vision sensor from SICK. The measured values required to automatically pick up the dolly are pre-processed and evaluated on the sensor, then transmitted to the control of the automated guided vehicle system. The Dolly Positioning SensorApp is based on the SICK AppSpace concept and can be loaded on the sensor as a complete, application-specific Key App.
Overheight-Detection
2D LiDAR Sensors can be mounted in a single position where low hanging structures/ducting are present, to detect potential overheight issues. They are configurable to create alert/alarm zones via Digital I/O to simplify the communication. With a long range (80m) a single device can cover a large area of your warehouse/site.
Safety solutions
Sick have a number of solutions that are pre-engineered to safe you time and effort in developing safety applications. SICK hope to become a comprehensive, strategic partner for our customers helping them improve productivity through safety.
Safe AGV's
Safe AGV Easy is the perfect safety solution for large and small automated guided vehicles and carts. Vehicles are made safe in an instant thanks to components that are easy to install and configure. The Safe AGV Easy safety system ensures safe, economical, and compliant vehicle operation.
This enables important logistics objectives, such as short throughput times, low stock levels, and high flexibility to be reliably achieved. The high reliability of the tried-and-tested SICK components increases availability and reduces follow-up costs.
Person protection
Since inventing the safety laser scanner, SICK currently offer the most comprehensive range on the market. From the world’s smallest safety laser scanner (nanoScan3) to worlds only scanner certified for outdoor use (outdoorScan3). SICK can offer their customers a scanner that it is fit for their applications as well as providing first class support with it's scanner and industry knowledge and team of TUV certified functional safety engineers.
Safe Entry Exit
The Safe Entry Exit safety system is a TÜV-certified alternative to classic muting: It reliably differentiates between humans and materials without the need for additional muting sensors. It requires just a single signal from the process controller. As soon as the transport goods have passed the protective device, the system is automatically ready protect again. Depending on requirements, any type 4 electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE) can be combined with the software. Variants are available using the SICK Flexi Soft safety controller or Siemens S7.
