Sick: Intelligent sensors for the factory of the future

Sick presents intelligent and communicative sensors and sensor solutions for the smart factory. This enables workstations to coordinate their processes and functions independently. This creates units that organize themselves. The prerequisite for this: new functionalities in the sensor that supply the required data to the Smart Factory. Thanks to years of experience and intensive research and development, Sick's broad portfolio of products and solutions offers various ways to create the basis for transparency and flexibilization of processes. The aim is to enable the digitalization and networking of production and logistics systems so that they can optimize and control themselves autonomously. Sick also showcased safety systems tailored to specific applications.
