PALLETIZING / LOGISTICS & E-COMMERCE

LumiScan
Mixed Palletizing.

Q: What does LumiScan Mixed Palletizing Engineering do?

It calculates the position of every carton from dimensions, weights and planning rules such as maximum top load, minimum support ratio and whether a carton may be placed on its side. You review the planned pallet in 3D, then specify vision and robot handling for the cell.

Q: Which hardware does the solution set use?

Set 01 combines a LUCID Helios time-of-flight camera with LumiScan VGR Lite. The camera variant is chosen for the working volume of your cell.

Q: Which industries is it for?

Intralogistics, fast-moving consumer goods and e-commerce – wherever pallets are built from cartons of different sizes.

Q: What do you need from us to start?

Product dimensions, order quantities and pallet limits. With these we define a representative planning example, the cell configuration and the acceptance criteria.

High-performance vision.
Your choice of hardware.

Build stable pallets from cartons of different sizes for intralogistics, fast-moving consumer goods and e-commerce. Combine pallet planning with vision-guided robot handling around your carton mix.

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.

Solution packages

Build a stable pallet from cartons of different sizes for intralogistics, consumer goods and e-commerce. The planner defines the arrangement; the handling cell implements it. Initial customer commissioning is underway.

Package 01

LUCID Helios + LumiScan VGR Lite

LumiScan Mixed Palletizing Engineering calculates carton positions from dimensions, weights and planning rules. Review the result in 3D, then specify vision and robot handling for the cell.

Suitable workpieces: Mixed carton orders in intralogistics, consumer-goods distribution and e-commerce.
Software & role: LumiScan Mixed Palletizing Engineering for the packing plan, plus LumiScan VGR Lite for the selected visual-guidance task.

Technical configuration

Sensor model: LUCID Helios · ToF
Helios2 family shown as an example.
Software modules: Mixed Palletizing Engineering + LumiScan VGR Lite
Confirm planner / runtime versions and the chosen vision functions; app-specific licence quantities are quoted.
Planner availability: Initial customer commissioning
Request current availability directly from HD Vision Systems. The independent ctrlX Store listing, product name and release version are still to be confirmed.
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 Mixed Palletizing Engineering plans the stack; LumiScan VGR Lite supports the agreed vision task. The shown LUCID ToF setup is the starting configuration. Other ToF or RealSense cameras and a ctrlX control route are candidates for application-specific validation.
Application limits: Agree carton materials, dimensions, weights, placement rules and stack-height tolerance. Stability depends on the real cartons, gripper, order sequence and pallet conditions; validate the physical stack and complete cycle, including gaps, damaged cartons or slippery packaging.

From selection to delivery

Request a configuration

Share your task
Provide sample parts or images, the process and existing equipment.
Define the setup
Agree the sensor, processing unit, interfaces and test criteria.
Review the quote
Confirm software licences, hardware and the agreed engineering scope.
Integrate & verify
Set up the application, test the agreed sequence and document the handover.

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

Agree carton dimensions and weights, order mix, pallet limits and the handling sequence before testing the planned stack.

Package configuration

Input
Enter the carton sizes, quantities, pallet footprint and stacking limits.
Algorithm
The planner calculates carton positions within those constraints. Inspect individual layers in the 3D result.
Output
Review which cartons fit and which remain unpacked before you set up the handling cell.

HD VISION SOFTWARE

Plan the pallet.
Guide the robot.

Two distinct software roles: calculate the packing arrangement, then add visual guidance where the handling process needs it.

PALLET PLANNING

LumiScan Mixed
Palletizing Engineering

Define cartons and pallets, apply stacking limits and calculate a packing pattern. Inspect placements and packing statistics in the 3D result view.

VISION-GUIDED ROBOTICS

LumiScan VGR Lite

Configure visual robot guidance with the camera and computing hardware that fit the application. Connecting the calculated pallet plan to the handling process is a separate integration step.

LumiScan software demo. Follow a mixed carton order from package dimensions to the resulting pallet plan.

RECORDED SOFTWARE EXAMPLE · ONLINE EXAMPLES COMBINED

Packed packages: 58
Unpacked packages: 0
Package weight: 250 kg
Maximum height: 824 mm

Values from the plan shown in the video poster. They describe this example arrangement, not cell throughput or equipment load capacity.

Inspect placements and remaining cartons

Use the height-slice view and package labels to inspect the arrangement. The result summary reports packed and unpacked packages, weight, maximum height and utilization.

Evaluate the complete cell

For a production trial, agree the carton mix and infeed sequence, then measure completed pallets and handling cycles with the actual robot, gripper and material flow.

Stacking rules in practice

Maximum top load: The permitted load above a carton, entered for each package type.
Minimum support ratio: The required proportion of support beneath a package in the planned stack.
Side placement: Specify whether a carton may be placed on its side, alongside its dimensional and weight data.
