Wherever material is transported or moved, there is a serious danger of collisions between machines, vehicles or obstacles. Incidents like this can not only increase costs, but also significantly disrupt the operational process. With Visionary AI-Assist, SICK has developed an AI-supported solution that precisely and selectively records objects and people. The system issues warnings in good time, minimizing the risk of collisions. Every day, machine operators face the challenging task of maneuvering huge vehicles weighing several tons, such as front-end loaders or dump trucks, through complex working areas. Narrow roads, obstacles, blind spots and the dynamic movement of people and other machines demand a high degree of concentration. Visionary AI-Assist from SICK combines the robust 3D camera Visionary-B Two and the intelligent Software AI-Assist. Thanks to 3D snapshot stereoscopy, the camera provides high-resolution depth and color data in real time. The camera records both people and objects with millimeter precision, even if they are only partly visible. Depending on requirements, the field of view can be adjusted to cover a wide area or focus on the immediate vicinity.
