SICK joins Mitsubishi Electric ’ s e-F @ ctory Alliance
A joint solution for easy integration of vision technology is now available . Machine builders , systems integrators and end users can now quickly realise inspection , validation , position detection and quality control applications built around SICK cameras and Mitsubishi Electric Devices .
The solution has been developed for applications across a number of different industries , including automotive , food and beverage , life sciences , machine building and OEM design . It combines a SICK vision camera with ready-built and tested function blocks for the Mitsubishi Electric GX Works PLC programming environment . This makes it simple to set up vision applications on Mitsubishi Electric PLCs . Users will also have the assurance of full support from Mitsubishi Electric and SICK .
Both companies believe that vision solutions provide essential information that can enhance a whole range of automation processes . But more than that , they are the eyes of Industry 4.0 and therefore a key element of the digital transformation of industry .
SICK and Mitsubishi Electric have worked together closely for a number of years . Now they are taking that collaboration to the next level , as SICK joins the e-F @ ctory Alliance . This has led to a newly developed solution , which makes it easier than ever for users to embed vision technology into applications such as product manufacturing , handling and packaging .
