What we do in omlox

For more than 70 years, from factory automation to logistics automation and process automation, SICK’s sensor solutions are keeping industry 4.0 moving. As a technology and market leader, SICK provides sensor intelligence and application solutions that create the perfect basis for controlling processes securely and efficiently, protecting individuals from accidents, and preventing damage to the environment.
The added value of sensor communication depends significantly on the quality and stability of the delivered data. In order to create the best-possible basis for a future-ready automation system, omlox, an open standard for localization enables operators to take business to the next level.

What we offer

As a leading sensor manufacturer with probably the widest portfolio not only for stationary storage and conveyor technology, but also for automated guided vehicle systems, partially-automated industrial trucks and mobile platforms, SICK is also counting on more productivity as well as product and process quality with localization technologies inside omlox standard.

The basic requirement of any localization and asset management solution in logistics – in addition to labeling and identification – is localizing all objects relevant for the material flow. There are various SICK sensor technologies available for this according to the required positioning accuracy and update rate.

The Coriva System is a omlox certified real-time localization system (RTLS) for industrial applications based on ultra-wideband. It determines the exact position of assets such as vehicles, workpieces, materials, etc. in real time. The recorded position data is used for seamless tracking and tracing of assets, thereby enabling continuous monitoring of goods movements and material flows. The system consists of mobile UWB tags (CorivaTag) that are located, and a permanently installed infrastructure (CorivaSat) in the location area.

Location Management lays the foundation for transparent and efficient material flow by tracking and tracing assets in real time. CorivaHub is a core software solution for location management that transforms location data into standardized, globally consistent geographic coordinates. Based on the omlox hub standard, location data is sourced from various providers and locating technologies such as UWB, WLAN, GNSS, WPAN and RFID.
