About SICK
SICK has grown over nearly eight decades into a global leader in intelligent sensors and industrial automation technology solution.
Why Choose SICK
SICK's core strengths lie in its comprehensive sensor product portfolio, deep technological heritage, and system-level solution capabilities.
In sensor products, SICK's portfolio covers photoelectric sensors (photoelectric switches, proximity sensors, etc.), safety sensors (safety light curtains, safety scanners), encoders, automatic identification and measurement products (barcode/RFID/laser scanning, laser distance measurement, etc.), machine vision, and motion control products. SICK holds approximately 22% of the global laser sensor market share, making it one of the absolute industry leaders.
In system solutions, SICK focuses on three core business areas: factory automation, logistics automation, and process automation, providing one-stop intelligent sensor system solutions for industrial robots and mobile robotics, quality control, tracking and tracing, machine efficiency, and safety protection. In recent years, SICK has actively expanded into industrial AI and digital solutions, launching cutting-edge technologies such as deep learning-based vision inspection systems and predictive maintenance solutions.
In reliability and innovation, SICK is renowned for its "German craftsmanship" and maintains stringent requirements for product performance and reliability. The company continues to launch innovative products such as new sensors featuring Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and Visionary AI-Assist 3D cameras. SICK is also an active promoter of Industry 4.0, having established the SICK I4.0 NOW Factory demonstration plant in Freiburg, Germany, which leverages intelligent sensors and automation/digitalization technologies to achieve full transparency and high efficiency in manufacturing processes.
