Whether it’s the Watchman, Optotrap OTD or PLS – SICK represents innovation in laser scanner development. SICK has been working in the field of laser scanners for nearly 40 years and recognized early that using laser beams to perform monitoring and measuring tasks leads to enormous productivity gains. That’s why SICK has invested significant amounts in laser measurement technology, in both new technologies and product innovations alike. Continue reading
The machine vision specialist, IVP AB, was founded more than 25 years ago in the university city of Linköping in southern Sweden as an offshoot of the university there. Since then, the company has been working with machine vision, thereby creating the foundation for SICK AG’s current Vision range. Continue reading
The French regional transport operator RATP has completed a project investigating the rolling characteristics of its regional trains. The aim of the project was to identify rail wear zones in order to avoid complicated and costly maintenance work. The use of eight SICK Ranger 3D vision sensors enabled the project to be completed in record time. Continue reading
Drivers are familiar with winding around annoying curves in the parking garage until finally sighting an open spot. If the driver has a plane or train to catch, this can be especially unpleasant. This problem led Serva Transport Systems, a German company based in Grabenstätt on Lake Chiemsee, to develop a special application that parks, sorts and picks up cars autonomously. Continue reading
