Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The GLS621 is used for automatic localization of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) in
warehouses, logistics and distribution. The device detects and decodes 2D codes which
are attached in the form of a grid on the floor. Using the data provided by the device,
the AGV is localized and repositioned by a higher-level controller (e.g. PLC). The device
supports 4Dpro connectivity.
The device is primarily designed for use in industrial and logistics areas. The device
meets the applicable requirements for industrial robustness, interfaces and data proc‐
essing.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
