The SICK Mindset for Digital Transformation and IIoT
Intelligent sensors play a critical role in the successful implementation of IIoT and digital transformation applications. These sensors not only gather data but also convert it into valuable information that aids decision-making. They go beyond mere sensing capabilities and possess the ability to enhance processes in the realm of industrial automation.
SICK offers a range of products and solutions that boast seamless connectivity across various platforms, including cloud solutions and their Telematic Data Collector (TDC). Their offerings encompass SICK AppSpace, advanced deep learning technologies, quality control mechanisms, localization and navigation technologies, as well as a wide array of cutting-edge Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors.
“SICK offers a game-changing product and service portfolio with common connectivity across platforms to the cloud, and the company’s TDC, an intelligent network solution that facilitates data gathering from legacy machines. The company outfitted TDC with innovative technologies, including deep learning and LiDAR. SICK allows customers to link ‘islands of information’, optimizing production across the entire organization,” said Sebastián Trolli, Sr. Industry Analyst, Industrial Technologies at Frost & Sullivan.
There is some market resistance to implementation, despite the proven benefits of digital transformation and IIoT principles. Most adoption resistance comes from overcoming challenges with implementation related to costs, complexity, and perception.
With a customer-centric strategy, SICK continues to take strides to address these challenges. A combination of sensor intelligence with industry and application expertise can take our partnership with customers to the next level and help others rapidly develop sensor-based applications.
Because of these commitments are our continued work in the IIoT space, SICK earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2023 Global Company of the Year Award in the IIoT sensor industry. Check out the full report from Frost & Sullivan.
