SICK Image-based code readers GLS100

The cost-effective GLS100 sensor automatically navigates and localizes automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or mobile platforms.

The integrated camera reliably detects and decodes colored tapes or tracks for optical line guidance as well as various types of 2D codes. These include QR codes, Data Matrix single codes and multicodes as well as code tapes. The 2D codes can also be applied in the form of a grid.

A higher-level controller – e.g. in the form of a PLC – relocalizes and repositions the AGV based on the data made available by the device.

Thanks to the detection of colored tracks and 2D codes, the GLS100 provides a flexible solution and enhancement options for navigating automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems.
