One connection you take from project to project – whichever camera or computer the customer has.
PLATFORM / LUMISCAN KERYX™
LumiScan Keryx™
The data layer of the LumiScan Vision Suite.
Through Keryx, the LumiScan apps exchange results, commands and status with your controller. On Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 it uses the same node paths, data types and handshake as the ctrlX Data Layer on ctrlX OS – your cell sees every app the same way on every platform.
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.
The same interface on Windows 11Ubuntu 24.04ctrlX OS
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.
Where Keryx makes the difference
Machine builders
Variants of your machine with different vision hardware, without rewriting the control connection for each variant.

Industrial PC today, ctrlX OS tomorrow: your runtime apps move, the interface stays.

Frequently asked questions
What is LumiScan Keryx?
The data layer of the LumiScan Vision Suite. Through Keryx, the LumiScan apps exchange results, commands and status with your controller.
On which platforms does Keryx run?
On Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04. On ctrlX OS the apps use the ctrlX Data Layer – with the same node paths, data types and handshake, so your cell sees every app the same way on every platform.
How do PLCs and robots connect?
Through the interfaces of the apps, for example OPC UA. Once you have connected one app, the principle is the same for all of them.
What happens when we move from an industrial PC to ctrlX OS?
The runtime apps move, the interface stays: node paths, data types and handshake do not change, so the control connection does not have to be rewritten.
