    Hack your IoT solution in the world of industrial automation

    When Jules Verne published his novel "From the Earth to the Moon" in 1865 it was just a science fiction story. But roughly 100 years later, humans actually did land on the moon. The impossible had become a reality. This is just one example on how technological development has always been inspired by open minds and creative ideas that at a first glance may have seemed outlandish. Together with our hack coaches and two hack participants, we talk about innovation and how important it is in today's world as well as how hackathons help to foster innovation in technology.  Find out more on our website and apply for this year's SICK Solution Hackathon on October 15-17, 2024: https://hackathon.sick.com

    "The Holy Grail of Human-Robot Collaboration"

    For years, the use of robots in production was an image one encountered primarily in the automotive industry. Behind high fences, huge robotic arms assembled heavy car body parts. But robots have changed and their tasks now cover a very broad spectrum. Flexible collaboration between humans and robots is the crowning achievement - without fences, without pre-programmed sequences, and still safe at all times. Fanny Platbrood, Head of Strategic Product Management at SICK, explains what it takes to achieve this.
