THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY AND
EFFICIENCY
Many paths, one goal: “Sensor Intelligence.” epitomizes our clear focus on sensor
technology as a data provider for the intelligent factory, thus making it the most
fundamental module for providing the highest possible levels of transparency in the
supply chain. With our broad product and solution portfolio, we make sure that you
are able to capture the necessary data reliably, evaluate it intelligently, and employ it
purposefully for your application:

•• To produce higher-quality goods in a more efficient and flexible way while saving
resources
•• To enable better tracking of goods
•• To implement innovative safety concepts

In the context of Industry 4.0, sensors that communicate not just at controller level but
also at the higher data level are needed. Our sensors can already do both: They send
data reliably to the PLC, but also to higher-level data and software systems. This en-
sures that this proven technology can continue to be used going forward but you can
take advantage of the additional benefits on a gradual basis.

In the latest issue of SICKinnovations, we present products, systems, and services

which already provide the right solutions for your latest challenges.
