Virtual lock for secure shipping

The new SICK LAC (Logistics Access Control) system, to be launched at IMHX 2013, provides a 'virtual lock' for designated secure areas for overseas goods transportation. International antiterrorism measures are placing increased demands on logistics operators to demonstrate that they have secure shipping arrangements in place that are guaranteed to avoid any costly hold-ups by customs authorities.

The system detects and identifies moving people, vehicles and goods while maintaining the flow of traffic.

It combines a LMS 123 laser sensor with a RFU630 RFID interrogation system using UHF coded transponder cards. Operation is via integrated evaluation and monitoring software to help supervisors monitor secure access areas. Stand 17P5
