PickBeam - Introduction

Introduction

Intelligent lighting and sensor solution for Industry 4.0

The PickBeam is a universal IIoT actuator and sensor for industrial applications. It combines precise environmental data detection with dynamic RGB/RGBW LED control. Up to 5 RGB lines of 5 metres each (optionally up to 10 m with additional power supply) can be controlled individually - ideal for pick-to-light, machine visualisation and smart factory workflows. The integrated communication via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, MQTT and HTTP-REST enables open system integration and long-term storage of sensor data.
