Sick (UK) Ltd is offering free places on a technology seminar being held at the National Space Centre in Leicester on 12 June 2007. The event has been designed to give engineers an insight into how sensors can revolutionise manufacturing operations, allowing companies to introduce best-practice procedures into their manufacturing and logistics processes.

It is envisaged that the visitors who will gain the most benefit will be those looking to:

  • Implement item tracking and/or volume measurement
  • Improve quality control and minimise waste/reject rates through sensors and vision systems
  • Improve machine safety

The event offers visitors a choice of two subject areas per time slot – which will allow them to pick and choose topics, from either stream, that are most closely allied to their needs, application or factory environment. The day is broken down into five easy-to-digest sessions with breaks for refreshments and lunch.

Seminar presentations include: access guarding and entry/exit safety systems, improving machine utilisation during product changeover, safety controls and new standards, registration/contrast mark detection and quality management using high-accuracy laser measurement. There will also be an opportunity to see what makes vision systems work, why industry is moving to 3D inspection (and enhancing efficiency and profit through identification and volume measurement), three quick ways to achieve accurate label validation and quality, and ten tips to get the best out of fixed-position barcode scanners.

Full details are available on the web at www.sick.co.uk/event.

It will be held on 12 June 2007 at the National Space Centre in Leicester. The Seminar exhibition and refreshments area is located at the bottom of the Rocket Tower, where Blue Streak and Thor Able are suspended. Attendees will also have access to all of the attractions at the National Space Centre and can take part in an interactive space flight!
