INDUSTRY 4.0
Networked reality
Networked production and control processes in complex machine environments
will determine the future in Industry 4.0.
Application expertise
Intelligent sensor technology must be
suited to the task in question. SICK ensures this with industry and application
knowledge.
Data sovereignty
Apart from humans, sensor technology
is the only source of data in production.
The security of this data determines the
success of networked processes.
Smart Factories supply tailored solutions
Having access to a high volume of data provides the opportunity to produce more
efficiently and more flexibly and to achieve higher standards of quality. However, the
success in making this vision a reality is heavily dependent on the reliability of the
data producers: the sensors which capture real-time situations and convert these into
digital signals, forming the basis for the process chain. It is important to precisely define
which data is required. SICK is able to draw on a wealth of industry and application
knowledge in order to find the right solution for every customer. A solution is only intelligent if used in the right way.
Targeted data collection by means of individual configuration provides a reliable basis
for the design of application-specific production processes. The seamless networking
of individual production steps means that these can be combined in any way required,
with full traceability. This enables the creation of tailored products on request. Also, all
production steps become fully traceable in real time: Comprehensive track and trace
solutions provide exceptionally accurate information about each product’s location.
Consequently, quality controls can be carried out directly at each step; production
faults are identified and corrected without delay. Flexibility and transparency are the
hallmarks of the Smart Factory.
Data sovereignty is essential
In order to fully exploit the potential of Industry 4.0, the network of the parties involved
must think and act beyond the boundaries of their own production systems. This is
the only way to link up supplier, manufacturer, and customer processes seamlessly
and automatically. Data security is the key to success in this regard. From collecting
data to transferring, saving, and processing it, the network must be protected against
failures and misuse: Data sovereignty must be ensured at all costs. Industry 4.0 requires a holistic approach: As a product, system, and service specialist, SICK lives up
to this requirement and collaborates with its customers to develop tailored responses
to future challenges.

HUMAN-ROBOT COLLABORATION
HUMAN-ROBOT COLLABORATION
Producing companies want their production workflows to be highly automated yet flexible. This also includes
closer interaction between humans and machines. The factories of tomorrow are increasingly set to blur
the lines between humans and machines, with teams of robots and people working side by side. This calls
for safety solutions which respond with absolute reliability and high levels of flexibility, even in unexpected
situations.
Our 70 years of experience in equipping numerous machines and plants are the foundation for our tailored
solutions, safety systems, and services that are able to meet future requirements. As today’s plants already
contain elements that live up to the requirements of Industry 4.0 – and are waiting for their full potential
to be tapped.
Flexible, safe, reliable
It is already possible to adapt safety sensors accurately to the current machine process.
Intelligent algorithms are making it possible to move away from digitally activated safety
technology in favor of a continuous machine response based on the current position
of the worker or on the plant. This means that the worker approaching the machine
no longer triggers a complete shutdown, but that, instead, the working speed is being
reduced appropriately or the directions of movement are being modified. This ensures
the worker’s safety at all times without having to interrupt the production process,
thus minimizing downtime and unintended shutdowns, cutting down cycle times, and
boosting efficiency and availability in machines and plants.
Safety expertise in the portfolio
The programmable safety controller with accompanying software, which can also be
combined with a safe sensor cascade, makes it possible to protect a large number
of hazardous points at the same time. The new generation of safety laser scanners
reliably protects hazardous areas, access points, and hazardous points. High-performance safety light curtains can be used as compact muting alternatives without
additional sensors and as hazardous point and area protection with high availability.
SICK maximizes the availability of protective devices and keeps machine and plant
downtime to a minimum with its products.

TRACK AND TRACE SOLUTIONS
TRACK AND TRACE SOLUTIONS
As they move toward Industry 4.0, companies are facing the challenge of networking machines and overarching IT systems within their production processes. The aim of this concept is to gain an overview of
all production and logistics processes along the entire supply chain, right through to order fulfillment and
delivery to the customer.
The seamless networking of individual production steps makes products traceable during complex production and logistics processes. Track and trace solutions provide exceptionally accurate information about
the current location and condition of each product.
This optimizes production and delivery networks as a whole. Intelligent sensor solutions generate data and
information which enable complete detection, identification, and tracing in the networked process chain.

INDUSTRY 4.0 | SICK

TRACK AND TRACE SOLUTIONS
Seamlessly networked: every product firmly in sight
Track and trace solutions can be implemented using a wide range of different technologies. When it comes to achieving the best possible reading performance and system
integration, the choice of identification technology varies depending on the respective
requirements.
In Smart Factories, RFID and programmable cameras are the most popular choice as
Industry 4.0-compatible solutions. In the automotive industry, meanwhile, RFID data
cards are increasingly being installed in components. The sensor technology along the
production chain uses the data cards to directly detect which assembly steps are to be
initiated. As a result, it ensures comprehensive transparency up until delivery.
Transparency for every process
Today’s intelligent sensor solutions are not just about recording reality accurately, but
also about processing the information in the sensor. For example, thanks to a flexible
output format, the data output can be adjusted exactly to suit the requirements by setting
and linking the logical conditions. This reduces the level of programming effort in the
control unit. In light of all this, each technology will continue to have its place in the
future: RFID makes it possible to read and write data and thus make use of data cards
in many different ways. The transponders do not even need direct “visual contact.”
Image-based code readers, on the other hand, are able to read 2D codes and plain
text. All stored images can be archived and analyzed.
The SICK AppSpace eco-system delivers maximum development flexibility to minimize
complexity, costs, and risks in the implementation of custom-made image-based track
and trace solutions. SICK AppSpace is based on SICK AppStudio, an open development
system for customer-specific applications on programmable SICK devices. The SIM4000
Sensor Integration Machine – part of the SICK AppSpace eco-system – opens up new
possibilities for application solutions. Data from SICK sensors and cameras can be
merged into a point cloud, evaluated, archived, and transmitted.

FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING
FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING
Low quantities and individualized mass products are the key words of Industry 4.0. To make this a reality,
a machine or plant must be able to handle variable product infeed and adapt to different formats. This is
the only way to ensure that goods can be produced individually to suit customer needs right down to batch
size 1, or be adapted to suit fluctuations in demand as flexibly and efficiently as possible.
Intelligent sensor technology goes hand in hand with a new standard of quality in flexibility. This technology
makes it possible to collect production data in real time. SICK sensor intelligence supports and relieves
data processing tasks by using intelligent functions to evaluate measurement data directly in the sensor
and transferring the relevant user data in the form of prepared information.
Well equipped for the future
In practice, transforming existing plants and systems so that they are fit for this new
world is a considerable challenge. This is why, at SICK, we place great emphasis on
ensuring that our concepts are backwardly compatible. As a result, our products can
be integrated into existing machines or even be connected to higher-quality data
systems.
SICK offers a large range of application-specific sensor and system solutions – including those for identifying and tracing materials and products – thus making it possible
to reduce stock levels and throughput times. Sensor solutions for process monitoring
and quality control offer added flexibility and autonomous adaptation when it comes
to variations in quality or product changes. As a result, they offer resource efficiency, a
lower reject rate, and a high level of throughput.
Flexible production in the starting blocks
As the level of automation in a plant increases, the tasks of the individual components
increase as well: Photoelectric sensors with flexible sensor settings and diagnostic
functions, for example, are already used in applications across a range of industries.
Inductive, IO-Link-enabled proximity sensors perform complex tasks directly in the
sensor. Contrast sensors, level sensors, and electronic pressure switches communicate parameter settings via integrated IO-Link interfaces. Measuring automation light
grids reduce the amount of cabling in production environments and enable access
to diagnostic functions and format changes. Encoders with EtherNet/IP™ feature an
active web server as well as function blocks for fieldbus integration. Compact 2D LiDAR
sensors (also 2D laser scanners) provide reliable object detection in the field of surface
monitoring.
Our application specialists use this portfolio to develop tailored concepts for optimizing
production processes. SICK enables Industry 4.0 in every field.

TECHNOLOGY
Industry 4.0 offers new opportunities for data-based analysis and process measuring technology as well:
In this field, reliable data which is communicated in real time is essential. As any discrepancies, e.g. in
emissions, can have serious consequences.
SICK provides intelligent solutions for waste incineration plants, power, steel, and cement plants, oil and

solutions make an important contribution to protecting our environment.
Secure remote access
As we move toward Industry 4.0, SICK is focusing on data management and remote maintenance services beside its products: Quick and secure Internet connections, tamper-proof authentication methods, and intelligent
sensors and controls are the cornerstones of individual online support for sensors and plants. Industry 4.0
will boost the potential of these networked services. Quick and secure networks not only enable specialists
to intervene for maintenance purposes, but also allow them to supervise an application continuously from a
distance and monitor processes in real time.
Reliable data for networked process control
The emission data management solutions from SICK collect, save, visualize, and evaluate emission data
on a continual basis. When it comes to gas measurements, SICK provides options for gas flow conversion,
event logging, parameter logging, and reports by using state-of-the-art technology. Each module combines
high-precision measurement technology, fast digital signal processing, abundant processing power, versatile
data communication, and high storage capacity.
