Q.
What does the future hold for the
company?
A.
For 70 years, the SICK name has stood for
innovative products and solutions that set
standards in the field of sensor technology
all over the globe. The work started by Dr. Erwin Sick
in 1946 is being continued by over 7500 employees all
over the world as they embark on a new future with
industry 4.0. With its products, SICK protects both people
and the environment. SICK is helping to make processes
more efficient and to preserve resources. In 2004, SICK
aligned its company slogan – ‘Sensor Intelligence’ – with
the changes in the world of automation that were just
starting to become evident at that time. Since then, this
slogan has characterised SICK’s commitment to technical
intelligence, which extends far beyond sensor technology
alone. Sensor intelligence has already become successfully
established within the field of automation technology
and is now a key part of Industry 4.0. The possibility of
using a multitude of data to produce and supply goods
in a more efficient and flexible way, while also saving
resources and achieving better quality, ultimately depends
on the reliability of the data which forms the input of
many process chains. This represents the fundamental
starting point for complex systems to be able to make
autonomous decisions. To put it in a nutshell: transparent
data evaluation would be completely impossible without
sensor technology. 70 years of SICK have produced
70 years of innovation in the field of sensor technology.
With its new, intelligent sensors, SICK will keep setting
standards in this field in the future and will promote the
merits of useful technology as its remarkable success story
continues.
