SICKNIFICANT

When Jules Verne published his novel "From the Earth to the Moon" in 1865 it was just a science fiction story. But roughly 100 years later, humans actually did land on the moon. The impossible had become a reality. This is just one example on how technological development has always been inspired by open minds and creative ideas that at a first glance may have seemed outlandish.Together with our hack coaches and two hack participants, we talk about innovation and how important it is in today's world as well as how hackathons help to foster innovation in technology. Find out more on our website and apply for this year's SICK Solution Hackathon on October 15-17, 2024: https://hackathon.sick.com

"In the think tank, we observe the digital world. We focus on disruptive technologies that have the potential to change a great deal. We are investigating whether and how we can use them for SICK. The Metaverse - and here for us as SICK the Industrial Metaverse in particular - is one such technology." Explains Arnd Sörensen , Project Manager

Deep Learning as a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has become increasingly important in recent years due to the increasing availability of data and computing power. The technology is revolutionizing automation in production and other areas by enabling machines to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. Dr. Christoph Eichhorn, Strategic Product Manager for Digital Services and Solutions at SICK, explains how Deep Learning is revolutionizing automation and production. More information on SICK Deep Learning solutions you'll find on our website:https://www.sick.com/de/en/industrial-artificial-intelligence-/w/artificial-intelligence/ 

For years, the use of robots in production was an image one encountered primarily in the automotive industry. Behind high fences, huge robotic arms assembled heavy car body parts. But robots have changed and their tasks now cover a very broad spectrum. Flexible collaboration between humans and robots is the crowning achievement - without fences, without pre-programmed sequences, and still safe at all times. Fanny Platbrood, Head of Strategic Product Management at SICK, explains what it takes to achieve this. 

In 75 years, SICK has grown from a small southern German company to a global player with more than 10,000 employees. How can SICK maintain the balance between the global network and its local nodes? What effect does a company’s globalization have on its culture and values? And how does the corporate culture support ‘internal’ globalization? In this episode, we welcome Dr. Mats Gökstorp, CEO of SICK, to discuss these issues. 

Wie hängen Digitalisierung und eingelöstes Nutzenversprechen zusammen? Im Gespräch mit Fabian Schmidt, Head of Digital Manufacturing bei SICK, wollen wir nicht nur diese Frage klären, sondern auch generell einen Blick in die Zukunft der Produktion werfen. Dabei ist das Schlagwort „Digitalisierung“ keine realitätsferne Zukunftsmusik, sondern ein greifbares, unverzichtbares Element im Alltag – solange der Nutzen klar ist.  

SICKNIFICANT – was steckt dahinter?  In unserem Unternehmenspodcast wollen wir nicht nur einen Einblick in die Welt der Sensoren geben, sondern vielmehr die Köpfchen dahinter vorstellen, Die Menschen, die unser Sensoruniversum mit Leben füllen!Für SICKnificant treffen wir Freigeister, Kreative, Tüftler und Erfinder und sprechen mit ihnen über die Themen, für die sie brennen. Digitale Transformation, Innovation, Technik & Trends und über alles, was SICK ausmacht.
