Solutions for the logistics of the future

In order to celebrate 70 years of business in the field of industrial automation, logistics and process, and over 20 years since the founding of its Italian subsidiary, Sick has doubled its presence at SPS, setting up two stands.

While one of them is dedicated to the concern’s latest products, the area “Knowhow 4.0: the future of digital smart industry”, organized in partnership with its technology partner Sew-Eurodrive, hosted multimedia content showcasing the potential of Sick logistics solutions. In the near future, when mass production will be replaced by that of totally traceable small lots, the vanguard will be Cyber Physical Systems, intelligent systems that communicate with one another, guiding the integration of mobile and stationary handling.

Among the many solutions presented by Sick are the TriSpector1000, a 3D vision sensor that is easy to configure, enabling inspection on board the camera, as well as the MicroScan3 safety laser scanner, whose innovative safeHDDMTM scanning technology enables monitoring areas at up to 275° and a protection field of up to 5.5 m. Finally, the Lector63x camera code scanner with S-step and C-step optics is suitable for both short and long distance scanning.
