Seamless connectivity

New from Sick is IDpro, a standardised software platform to enable all Sick auto-ident devices to communicate with each other, share data and parameters.

The platform is designed to achieve seamless connectivity between Sick's laser barcode scanners, 2D/3D vision cameras and RFID interrogators. The benefits are faster communication and virtual elimination of errors in data transfer between devices, enabling factory automation and logistics control networks to operate more efficiently.

By using the same, powerful SICK IDpro platform for its CLV600 laser scanner devices, its LECTOR620 2D/3D camera and its leading RFID interrogator RHF620, SICK can help customers ensure all product identification equipment in a manu - facturing or logistics environment works smoothly together without interruption.

IDpro delivers full data interchange integration, single device configuration and cloning functionality over CAN networks, and avoids the software, gateway and converter problems that can plague less enabled data scanning portfolios.
