In discussion: Siegfried AndraB, SICK AG

摘要

Global Cement (GC): Please could you introduce the company SICK AG? Siegfried Andrdfi (SA): SICK was founded by Dr Erwin Sick in Munich in 1946. In 1952 the company presented the first marketable safety light curtain for accident prevention, which can be seen as a starting point for the company to develop other products. SICK's first move into monitoring systems, which it is most famous for in the cement sector, came in 1956 when it launched the first optical-electronic flue gas monitor. Many further technical developments have since been made across a very wide range of applications, including optical sensors for fill levels, emission and process monitoring systems for various pollutants, and safety sensors and systems applicable to cement.
