SICK launches sensingCam SEC200 camera-based code reader

SICK has launched the sensingCam SEC200, a new camera-based code reader designed for 1D and 2D identification in industrial and logistics environments. The device features a 1.3-megapixel camera module capable of reading codes at distances between 100 and 300 mm, regardless of the code's orientation or alignment.

To ensure ease of use for inexperienced operators, the reader provides intuitive feedback through a green LED response and an acoustic signal. The hardware is built for demanding environments, featuring an IP65-rated industrial housing that protects against dust and water splashes.

Integration and configuration are facilitated by an integrated web server, allowing setup via a standard browser without additional software. The device supports USB and Ethernet connectivity for seamless integration into existing IT and automation systems. Additionally, a cloning function allows users to copy parameters to other devices to ensure consistency across large-scale installations. The product development also adheres to the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to meet current cybersecurity standards.
