A free seminar on how sensors can revolutionise manufacturing operations, allowing companies to introduce best-practice procedures into their manufacturing and logistics processes, is to be held at the National Space Centre.

SICK (UK) is offering free places on the seminar, being held on the 12th June. 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, minimise waste and rejection rates through sensors and vision systems - Improve machine safety The event offers visitors a choice of two subject areas per time slot – a choice that 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. The 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. Also we will look at what makes vision systems work, why industry is moving to 3D inspection, 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 of each individual element within each time slot, and how to reserve your place, are available online.
