Sensing the way forward to a mobile future

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and their smaller cousins Automated Guided Carts (AGCs) promise to free more production environments from the slavery of fixed lines, conveyors and linear processes and make workflows more flexible.

On track for total RFID solutions

Large global companies demand RFID-based solutions that can be provided by a single source worldwide, across multiple manufacturing or supplier sites. Conversely, there is a multitude of smaller companies that have not adopted RFID due to the complexities of dealing with numerous technology partners.

Laser line scanners: the eyes of your robot

Robots are becoming increasingly independent and are able to tackle more complex tasks. Laser profile sensors play a crucial role in ensuring that robots move safely, as well as precisely guiding and locating their positions.

Internet of Things and compensated air quality sensors

By adding air quality sensors to smart building systems, engineers can implement early warning of the buildup of hazardous gases and chemicals, but commercial air quality sensors lack the integrated capabilities required to join a smart building network.
