Challenges

Detection
Sensors from SICK are ideal for application monitoring of persons and objects. The large selection of photoelectric sensors, light grids and 2D LiDAR sensors offers the right sensor for every task.

Protection
In the field of safety, sensors and systems from SICK ensure that safety requirements are met in compliance with applicable laws and standards. They efficiently protect hazardous areas and enable the highest plant availability at the same time.

Identification
SICK RFID read/write devices reliably read transponders for access control. This ensures that only persons or vehicles with access authorization can enter certain buildings or areas.

Position determination
Sensors from SICK ensure maximum positioning accuracy, reproducibility, speed and optimal PSDI times. Its comprehensive portfolio of distance sensors, encoders and vision sensors allow optimal adaptation to the requirements of the respective applications.
