The SIM4000 Sensor Integration Machine – part of the SICK AppSpace ecosystem – is opening up new possibilities for application solutions. Data from SICK sensors such as laser scanners and cameras can be merged into a point cloud, evaluated, archived, and transmitted. 8 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are available for 2D or 3D cameras, and in some cases feature a voltage supply over Ethernet (PoE).
2D and 3D machine vision applications. The HMI and data visualization features can be provided on any browser-enabled notebook, PC, or tablet. The app is created using the SICK AppStudio SDKs and - when using HALCON - using HDevelop from MVTec.
