Outdoor automation meets
plenty of challenges like harsh weather conditions, solar radiation, shock and
vibration, outdoor safety, pollution, dust and dirt, saltwater or long distances.
SICK is the outdoor specialist for sensor solutions due to multi-echo
technology of its sensors, sensor-integrated filters for pollution, dust, fog
and rain, sensor integrated features, rugged design and AI-based software
algorithms. We test our sensor solutions in our outdoor test center for
long-term testing in outdoor applications with our outdoor experts in all kinds
of industry settings. We make customer-centric validation for availability,
measurement accuracy and reliability: rain and water test, dust and pollution
tests, fog tests, temperature tests, shock and vibration tests, solar radiation
tests and electromagnetic radiation tests. We test our sensors after
production. We simulate customer applications. We make on-site testing. SICK
has a broad sensor portfolio for outdoors: LiDAR, RFID, vision, radar,
ultrasonic, digital solutions and service.
