EDAS GO Enables Zero-Touch Automated Inline Inspection
As manufacturers push toward fully automated, lights-out production, inline inspection systems must deliver not only accuracy but also reliability, simplicity, and continuous uptime. EDAS GO meets this challenge by turning complex inspection logic into a zero-touch, appliance-like runtime system.
Engineering vs. Execution
At the heart of EDAS GO is the full EDAS platform, a versatile software environment that unifies design, programming, and metrology in a single framework. EDAS allows engineers to configure measurement strategies, define automation logic, integrate sensors and robots, and simulate inspection workflows before deployment. By combining industrial connectivity, observer-driven automation, and robust recovery features, EDAS provides a comprehensive foundation for reliable, repeatable inline inspection – enabling EDAS GO to deliver a truly zero-touch experience on the production line.
EDAS GO separates engineering from execution. Engineers define measurement strategies, automation logic, and system connectivity in EDAS using Design, Programming, and Metrology Modes. Once validated, projects move to Execution Mode, where EDAS GO enables operators to run inspections without accessing engineering tools.
This separation ensures a secure, consistent, and simple runtime, reducing operator errors and boosting confidence in 24/7 operations.
Minimal Interface – Maximum Clarity
Operators interact with EDAS GO via a clean interface: select a project and press play. No access to command trees or engineering settings is required. Under the hood, EDAS GO uses Execution Mode, guaranteeing consistency while keeping runtime simple and repeatable. Zero-touch starts at boot. Engineers configure a dedicated ‘Go folder’ in EDAS and enable auto-load. EDAS GO then automatically launches the correct project, eliminating manual navigation. Operators can focus on supervision rather than setup.
Industrial Connectivity and 24/7 Readiness
EDAS GO inherits EDAS’ proven industrial connectivity, supporting robots, PLCs, and sensors via Ethernet/IP, Profinet, TCP/IP, and USB. Integration-tested for continuous operation, it handles automated signals, interlocks, and live production workflows seamlessly.
Observers and Triggers: Sensing and Acting
Observers monitor variables, program states, and system events – functioning like the cell’s nervous system. Triggers act when conditions are met, starting or stopping programs, switching projects, or displaying messages. Together, observers and triggers enable automatic start, stop, and changeover, classic zero-touch patterns, without external scripting.
Recovery and Resilience
EDAS GO inherits robust recovery features from Execution Mode. If execution fails, it can back-trace machines safely, plan controlled motions, or resume from the point of failure. Built-in auto-reconnect, robot auto-homing, and data housekeeping ensure long-term, uninterrupted operation.
EDAS GO as an Inspection Appliance
With engineering handled upfront, runtime simplified, and automation driven by observers and triggers, EDAS GO behaves like a self-contained inspection appliance. Operators launch it, and the cell executes inspections reliably under 24/7 conditions, giving production teams trust in both accuracy and uptime.
EDAS GO demonstrates how sensor-driven, automated inline inspection is evolving – turning complex metrology into a predictable, zero-touch tool for the smart factory of the future.
