LUMISCAN / APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Depalletizing

Q: Which loads can LumiScan depalletize?

Pallets unloaded layer by layer at goods receipt or in intralogistics, including mixed or shifted cartons and sacks. Vision locates the accessible items so the robot can transfer them to the next process.

Q: Which hardware does the solution set use?

Set 01 combines a Pepperl+Fuchs 3D stereo sensor with LumiScan VGR Lite. The sensor model is selected for the load and the working distance.

Q: Do we need CAD models of the cartons or sacks?

No. VGR Lite works AI-based with a trained network; you create it with LumiScan Annotation Framework and Training Framework.

Q: Can we test with our own parts?

Yes. Send us sample parts or images and we run an application test at LumiScan Labs in Heidelberg. Together we define the configuration and the acceptance criteria before you invest.

LumiScan Advantages

< 1 s Path planning for bumper inspection

In one bumper inspection application, LumiScan VGR calculated the robot path in under a second. Calculation time depends on the task.
20 min Our fastest application setup

We configured an application in 20 minutes using ready-made LumiScan apps.
ROI Lower upfront costs

Reuse existing hardware and license only the apps you need. This can shorten payback compared with buying an entirely new cell.
100+ Compatible sensor models

Choose the sensor that suits your parts, or keep using compatible equipment already in your cell.
30 years Of machine vision engineering experience

Work one-to-one with our engineers to select the sensor, lighting and inspection sequence for your part.
One-Time Installation for multiple tasks

Add compatible apps to the same LumiScan installation as your cell takes on new tasks. License the apps you add.

Application demo · Pepperl+Fuchs

Locate the next carton on a pallet

See how a Pepperl+Fuchs 3D stereo sensor and LumiScan VGR work together in an automated depalletizing setup. The camera captures the load so the robot can approach the next pick.

Solution packages

Unload cartons or bags layer by layer in goods receiving and intralogistics, including mixed or shifted loads. Depalletizing removes goods from a pallet; the related Mixed Palletizing solution builds the outgoing stack.

Pepperl+Fuchs SmartRunner — SmartRunner shown as a sensor example. Model selection depends on the load and working distance.

Package 01

Pepperl+Fuchs + LumiScan VGR Lite

Measure the exposed load, identify a package and pass its position and orientation to the handling controller. Capture the changed layer again after removal.

Suitable workpieces: Palletized cartons or bags with a usable gripping surface; validate single-SKU, mixed and shifted loads separately.
Software & role: LumiScan VGR Lite; camera acquisition, calibration and detection modules are specified for the chosen setup.

Technical configuration

Sensor model: Pepperl+Fuchs · SmartRunner family example
Software modules: LumiScan VGR Lite
Detection, camera acquisition, calibration and app-specific runtime licences are scoped for the selected sensor and load.
Licences & purchase: Engineering across projects + runtime licences
Buy directly from HD Vision Systems. Runtime licensing depends on the apps used. Modules, quantities, term and activation are specified in the quote.

Select this set

Sensor images show the named devices or family examples.

Software matched to the task: LumiScan VGR Lite is the proposed vision route. The Pepperl+Fuchs equipment shown is a selection reference; other 3D, ToF or RealSense cameras and ctrlX / PLC integration are assessed with the exact driver, runtime and application.
Application limits: Define cartons versus bags, single-SKU or mixed loads, stack height and grip surfaces. Stretch film, tightly packed layers, deformation and shifted goods can require preparation or a different grasp strategy; agree film removal and recovery steps before testing.

Licences & delivery scope

Buy engineering and runtime licences and vision hardware directly from HD Vision Systems, with training and support. Engineering is used across projects; runtime licence quantities depend on the selected apps and configuration. The quote lists those quantities, software and hardware, plus the agreed integration and support scope and any customer-supplied components.

To specify in the quote: Licence term and activation, exact hardware / OPU model, delivery date, commissioning and training scope.

For the application trial

Test the agreed cartons or bags, SKU mix, shifted layers, wrapping conditions and pallet heights, then measure a complete removal-to-handover cycle.

LumiScan software & algorithms

Where is the next carton?

Illustration of the selected top face and grasp position on a pallet. Enlarge image

Input
A stereo sensor measures the exposed surfaces of the load.
Algorithm
LumiScan VGR Lite locates a carton in the depth data. Its position and orientation define the target for the pick.
Output
The controller uses the target for removal. A fresh capture shows the changed layer after the pick.

THE TASK IN CONTEXT

From the workpiece to the next process.

01
Inspect the load
Define how products are presented and which surfaces and edges are available to the camera.
02
Choose an accessible product
Assess gripping access and the removal sequence for the load.
03
Remove and transfer
Coordinate placement on the downstream conveyor or station and define recovery behavior.
