Safety for automated guided vehicles
Safe mobile platforms: autonomous success
Today’s production and logistics environments are characterized by mobile platforms, which means more flexibility and efficiency are required. If you want to make your processes fit for the future, then you are definitely on the safe side with us. With our modular, scalable safety solutions we ensure smooth processes – both for indoor and outdoor applications.
Mobile platforms are only profitable if they are actually mobile. The simple solution is: high productivity by avoiding collisions and downtimes. We support you with rugged sensors and intelligent software to ensure your automated guided vehicles and carts are operating safely, autonomously, and cost-efficiently. An important component of this is the situation-specific adjustment of the driving speed so that your mobile platforms remain in motion.
The data provided by the sensor can also be used for localization and furthermore, for navigation purposes by our customers: an additional use that makes the deployment of mobile platforms even more efficient. From intelligent sensors for collision avoidance right through to complete safety solutions with integrated localization – we are your partner!
Sensor solutions for mobile platforms: Navigation and positioning
Navigation and positioning
Mobile platforms are moving automatically or autonomously between different points in the production or logistics environment. To make sure that they find their way diverse sensor solutions for navigation and positioning are necessary, which serve to localize and navigate mobile platforms.
Safety systems: Safe EFI-pro System
Safe integration for a productive interaction
Safe EFI-pro system is the result of the consistent development of the successful EFI interface and enables intelligent safeguarding of AGVs, robots and other challenging applications. The industrial Ethernet-based EFI-pro network technology enables the quick exchange and transmission of safe and non-safe data throughout all levels of communication. The central component is the EFI-pro gateway. It ensures safe and fast integration of innovative sensor solutions from SICK as well as direct integration of robot controls into the Flexi Soft safety controller via EtherNet/IPTM CIP SafetyTM. The Safe EFI-pro system is therefore a crucial enabler for implementing Industry 4.0.
Safety systems: Safe AGV Forklift
Protecting automated guided forklift vehicles - efficient and future-proof
Safe AGV Forklift is the efficient safety solution for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with lifting forks. Installation on automated lifting fork vehicles with a drive wheel is easy. The speed and direction-independent protective field switching of the safety laser scanner prevents stops and is gentle on wear and tear parts. Previous solutions prevent automated loading and unloading compliant with standards because the protective field of the laser scanner was violated by the lifting fork. Thanks to the use of the safety encoders, the vehicle can continue to move with the lifting fork lowered at a safely reduced speed. This increases productivity and enables fully-automated and safe operation of AGVs with lifting forks.
