Identification solutions
Product traceability and anti-counterfeiting solutions require reliable automatic identification products. SICK offers the three most common industrial identification technologies: laser-based scanners for 1D codes, image-based 1D and 2D code readers, and RFID readers. Integrated interfaces enable the readers to communicate inside industrial networks and innovative functionality makes commissioning and operation easy.
How you benefit – three technologies for any application
Being a global company, SICK can support you wherever you are in the world. Our services comprise accurate analysis of your requirements, technical and systems expertise, strong products, and comprehensive on-site support. SICK is the market leader in automated identification, and can advise you on finding the right technology for your application. Whether laser, camera, or RFID: We will show you how all three technologies can be combined if required. Whether it be a permanently mounted sensor or a mobile handheld scanner, the best solution is always individually and precisely tailored to your requirements. With SICK, your visions become reality.
Image-based code readers
- Flexible reading of various code types, for example 2D codes such as data matrix codes, regardless of the code alignment (360°)
- Monitoring of code qualities to optimize processes by using code analytics in the device
- Subsequent image analysis as images of identified objects are stored
- Reading, evaluation, and analysis of severely damaged codes due to corrective image processing algorithms
Fixed mount barcode scanners
- Reading of barcodes at various distances and with different object sizes with just one device thanks to a large depth of field
- A single device also provides coverage of wide reading areas due to a large aperture angle
- High read stability even in varying ambient light due to outstanding ambient light immunity
- Low commissioning costs as auto-focus function means setup couldn't be simpler
RFID
- Reliable identification of concealed or contaminated objects, as no visual contact with the RFID tag is necessary
- Identification of large objects with undefined tag position due to large reading distances and reading field widths
- Reads and writes data
- High level of counterfeit protection and data protection due to encrypted data transmission
Mobile handheld scanners
- Mobile scanning of a variety of code types (for example barcodes and 2D codes such as data matrix codes) and ability to read the code regardless of its orientation (360°) – for maximum flexibility
- Reading distances of up to 16 m for time-saving code scanning and therefore higher productivity
- Solutions from a single source: either as a supplement to our permanently mounted identification sensors and systems or as a standalone solution
- Mobile handheld scanners and external devices can also be integrated into our customer's machine and plant control systems via our fieldbus module
