SICK presented its latest product innovations, such as the MicroScan security scanner, the Lector650 barcode reader, and the PLR ​​and PLB robot systems. SICK's extensive consulting services were also reviewed.
The event focused on sensor solutions for car manufacturing; however, SICK placed particular emphasis on Industry 4.0. According to Jaume Catalán, Industry Manager for SICK Spain and Portugal, “it is clear that, as technology providers for Industry 4.0, we are already able to present and implement solutions.” SICK's solutions are fundamental to overcoming the four existing challenges at the production level: “quality control” at the sensor and drive level, “flexible automation” at the machine level, “safety” at the production level, and “tracking and tracing” at the corporate level.
