Efficiency is the prerequisite if processes are to be implemented economically. Many production processes are automated because doing them manually today would be far too expensive, take longer and lead to errors. Automation is therefore the sequence of independently running steps as part of a defined overall process. The use of sensors is often absolutely necessary for this, because they can record certain properties and conditions of their environment and convert them into electrical signals that can be processed further. This allows, for example, a completed process to be recognized and a subsequent one to be started. Sick is a manufacturer of such sensors and sensor solutions and is active in all areas of automation technology, safety technology, analysis and process measurement technology. With its innovative sensor solutions, the company keeps industry moving. As a technology and market leader, with sensor intelligence and application solutions, it offers the perfect basis for controlling processes safely and efficiently, protecting people from accidents and avoiding damage to the environment. Since Sick was founded by Erwin Sick in 1946, it is one of the pioneers of sensor-controlled automation processes. More than 50 subsidiaries and holdings as well as numerous agencies ensure the company's presence all over the world. More than 10,000 people work for Sick around the globe.
