S
and logistics to ports, transport systems or waste management facilities, can begin to digitalise their processes on the road to Industry 4.0. Enabled by pre-configured Apps on a wide range of SICK sensors, the Monitoring Box provides transparent data monitoring through an intuitive, browser-based dashboard for desktop or mobile devices. Device data is processed via powerful IoT gateways to enable local data storage on a customer premises or via secure connection to the SICK cloud.
Simple and Adaptable “The SICK Monitoring Box is so simple and adaptable that the opportunities for condition monitoring are limited only by your imagination,” says Neil Sandhu, SICK UK Product Manager for measurement and systems. “Bolt on the SICK Monitoring Box and transparent information about the health of your machines is just a few short steps away. Depending on your requirements, information such as operating hours, wear, temperature, energy usage or level of contamination, turns into a valuable resource. “As a result, your machines and systems become more available and efficient.
Unplanned maintenance time is reduced and operating staff can be deployed more efficiently to respond to any issues that occur. You will extend the operating life of machines through a better understanding of historical trends and patterns.” Data at a Glance To get started, a SICK service employee installs and activates the gateway, your
devices are connected and data transmission begins. If preferred, customers can then choose to hand over their entire device monitoring to SICK service, not only of SICK sensors, but also of third-party devices where appropriate. Simply log in and view all your devices at a glance with the AssetBrowser, search by
device status using the AssetFilter, view incidents and graphical representations to identify historical patterns and trends. Use the Data Explorer and Event Log to review a record of alarms and notifications. Email alerts can be set up, e.g. to notify operators when values go under or over pre-determined limits, enabling a more speedy response to maintenance and servicing needs.
Robust Security The SICK Monitoring Box offers a reliable system architecture, robust data security and password-protected access rights.

NEW CANTING KIT FOR OKW’S SMART-TERMINAL EXTRUDED ALUMINIUM ENCLOSURES
New canting kit for OKW’s SMART-TERMINAL enclosures O
KW has updated the canting kit for its elegant SMART-TERMINAL extruded aluminium enclosures – further enhancing their stability when used as a desktop housing
SMART-TERMINAL is a stylish and sophisticated handheld, desktop and wall-mount
enclosure for peripheral and interface equipment; office and communications technology; safety engineering; biometrics; medical and laboratory technology; automation, Smart Factory and Industry 4.0; gateways; measurement and control engineering.
OKW has subtly redesigned the canting kit (Product no. B3507030) used to incline
SMART-TERMINAL at a 12° angle for more ergonomic viewing and operation. Each of the two triangular canting stands now features additional location elements – ensuring even greater stability during use.
The new canting kit includes two stands and four anti-slip rubber feet. The stands are
moulded from ASA+PC-FR in lava to match the enclosure end covers. No screws are needed, the stands slide into the base and are held in place by the end covers and soft- touch TPV seals.
SMART-TERMINAL’s matt anodised aluminium case body features a large recessed area
on top for displays, membrane keypads and operating elements. Horizontal guide rails and T-groove screw channels are provided inside for fitting PCBs.
SMART-TERMINAL is available in one width (170 mm) and height (50 mm) and three
standard profile lengths: 160, 200 and 240 mm. The end covers are moulded in UV-stable ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) and – along with the TPV seals – add a further 42 mm, bringing the enclosures’ total lengths to 202, 242 and 282 mm.
Other accessories for SMART-TERMINAL include a wall suspension element, VESA
mounting plate (on request), rubber feet and mounting hardware. Customising options include CNC machining, lacquering, printing or laser marking of
legends and logos, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding, installation and assembly.
