SICK is one of the world’s leading sensor solutions providers in the industrial sector. Salim Dubbous provides expert insights on efficiently deploying and using sensors on the factory floor.

Automation engineers have heard a lot about condition monitoring in recent years as one of the most common examples of how AI and digital transformation are actually hitting the ground with real results for industry. Sensing is certainly the foundation of the process, but it requires the proper mix of equipment and know-how to move from a simple project to a fully scaled-up implementation.
