What is the difference between LumiScan VGR and VGR Lite?

Both include collision checking and collision-free path planning. The difference is the recognition method: LumiScan VGR localizes parts by 3D model (CAD) matching or with AI, VGR Lite works purely AI-based with a trained ONNX network, which you create with LumiScan Annotation Framework and Training Framework. Neither product requires a CAD model.

Which apps does VGR Lite work with?

LumiScan CamDriver connects the camera, LumiScan Calibration converts image coordinates into robot coordinates, and LumiScan AI Object Matching runs the trained detection models. For mixed cartons, LumiScan Mixed Palletizing Engineering calculates the pallet arrangement.

Which platform does VGR Lite run on?

Currently on Windows 11. The camera driver and the other runtime apps also run on Ubuntu 24.04 and natively on ctrlX OS.

Do we need our own trained network?

Yes, VGR Lite uses an ONNX network for detection. You create it with LumiScan Annotation Framework and Training Framework.

LumiScan Ecosystem: Core Systems

LumiScan VGR Lite

A streamlined VGR for quick integration into standard automation lines.

LumiScan VGR Lite is a streamlined, lightweight version of LumiScan VGR, our core platform for vision-guided robotics. It is designed for quick integration and efficient processing of standard automation scenarios, so a robot cell gets machine vision without a lengthy setup.

VGR Lite works with the other LumiScan apps: Cam Driver connects the camera, Calibration converts image coordinates into robot coordinates, and AI Object Matching runs trained detection models. For palletizing mixed cartons, LumiScan Mixed Palletizing Engineering calculates the pallet arrangement.
