Case Studies
Shiny parts, reliably captured.
How machine builders and manufacturers use LumiScan: what the task was, who built what, and what came out of it.
All case studies
Picking SMD reels and PCB packs from an AutoStore automatically
VDALogistics Award 2022 for the overall concept
Ingolstadt plant, delivered 2021 for Continental (now AUMOVIO)
Inspecting glossy bumpers with light field and LumiScan VGR
13inspection systems in operation
In use in Germany and abroad (as of 2024)
Bin picking oily steel parts from mixed boxes
“We are highly satisfied with HD Vision Systems’ solution for bin picking in our difficult conditions. For example, even hard-to-see shiny objects in boxes that are not sorted by type are detected with the automated grip. In particular, the speed with which the sensor and software have provided the robot with gripping paths is impressive.”
Tested at the BENTELER test centre in Paderborn, 2021
The Platform
From sensor to solution. On one platform.
Four clearly separated layers: you choose the task, the apps do the vision, Keryx connects everything, and the hardware stays your choice.
Solution packages
Built around a task
Bin picking, palletizing, depalletizing, pick & place, visual clamping and machine tending: every package bundles the right apps, vision hardware and a certified integration partner.

LumiScan Keryx™
One interface for everything
Every app exchanges results, commands and status over the same data layer. On Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 that is LumiScan Keryx, on ctrlX OS the ctrlX Data Layer – with the same node paths, data types and handshake.
- Windows 11
- Ubuntu 24.04
- ctrlX OS
- OPC UA
Hardware
Cameras, compute, controllers
LumiScan X light-field cameras for difficult surfaces, GenICam cameras from IDS, LUCID, Pepperl+Fuchs and other makers, ToF and stereo sensors. AI models run as ONNX on NVIDIA, Hailo-8 and other accelerators.

LumiScan Keryx™
Connect once. Combine freely.
LumiScan Keryx is the data layer of the LumiScan Vision Suite on Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04. It speaks the same language as the ctrlX Data Layer: same node paths, same data types, same handshake. Your controller sees every app the same way on every platform.
Your control code stays
Change camera, compute or platform without rewriting the connection to PLCs and robots.
One handshake for every app
Detecting, reading, measuring and picking follow the same sequence. Once you have connected one app, you know the principle for all of them.
From PC to ctrlX – and back
Runtime apps run on an industrial PC and natively on ctrlX OS with the same interface. You decide per project.
LumiScan X · Light Field
Glossy, metallic, film-wrapped: measured, not guessed.
Where reflections fool other 3D sensors, LumiScan X records the scene from 13 perspectives at once. From the shift between the views, LumiScan computes the depth of every pixel – physically measured, in a single shot. The result flows through Keryx into the same apps as any other camera.
- cameras exposing simultaneously – moving objects are captured too

- shot is enough: depth for every pixel, with no moving parts
