Flexibility: you can build any automation cell. With any robot, any plc, any sensor, any tool. In any size and shape.
Universality: no matter what you are doing, all happens in one universal software that unifies the experience and speeds up the design, programming and execution process.
Plug&Play Hardware: To use our software you do not need experience operating hardware. Everything is plug & play. We changed the paradigm now the software is the master, which accelerates and simplifies operating with hardware.
It means that with one software, one unqualified operator, you can run any automation cell. And if your manufacturing process needs to quickly be changed, because your demand shifts or your production changes, with the same software you can rebuild your automation cell for its new purpose.
Right, metrology is our key market, but our software is capable of much more.
Nonetheless metrology is one of the most complex processes in manufacturing and requires constant iteration, so it's the perfect example for our software. This is because metrology is checking the quality of the manufactured parts, meaning that it is responsible for detecting the accumulation of all the errors in the factory. And this changes constantly.
Due to this constant change and need for adaptation, metrology automation cells fully benefit from our software's flexibility. EDAS brings to zero the iteration time between new measuring needs and running the new measurements. To zero. Program and run, that's it.
Let's talk about a particular feature that makes our software very powerful.
It takes out the risk. When we validate a program we make sure all hardware will run smoothly, no collision, no singularities, no overspeeds, no wrong configurations... The validation feature in our software gives you safety and peace of mind. The software protects you against mistakes and automatically solves them for you.
Look, you don't have to be very smart to use our software, that's it.
Let me give you an example. Let's imagine that you have to measure 2 different parts. Those parts come in into your cell. There is a QR in the AGV that transports the part, that identifies it with a serial number. Once the part is in you want to measure based on what part it is.
Once measured you want to analyze some features. If some feature fails you want to remeasure it. Once remeasured, if it fails, you need to send a signal to a server telling which part failed and why. If it is okay, the data needs to be stored for tracing and a report generated. Moreover, you want to show a simple dashboard that displays how many good parts and how many bad parts have been measured.
Now based on that example, how many people do you need (each with its own software)? someone to program the plc, someone to program the AGV, someone to program the robot, someone to program the QR reading, someone to communicate data with servers, someone to be able to communicate all the data from the sensor to the metrology software to generate reports, and someone that can tap onto that data and build you some simple dashboards.
I counted 7 someones. 7 softwares. 7 different processes to coordinate.
Well good news for you, with EDAS you only need 1 someone and 1 software to run and coordinate all these actions.
You need to realize one thing. Automation is not anymore about having a robot do the work. It's about automating the building and operating of the automation. Our software automates the automation. One software. With us you can unlock automations' real potential.
Multi-robot multi-sensor with one master software. One software to run many robots, many sensors, many hardware together and coordinated. This means not only any hardware, but any and many hardware within one software instance. You will be able to simulate and operate your whole factory from one place.
Simulating and commanding AGVs and mobile stations. We will integrate AGVs in our software to further push towards the idea of One Software to Rule Them All.
Support for grippers, welding, and many other tools. This way, our software can speed manufacturing helping other processes besides the metrology automation.
Look, automation has existed for a long time. A very very long time. Why would a software change this? There is one particularity on how automation happens now. You have 100 robots. You have 100 controllers. All independent, and somewhat coordinated via PLCs which are hardcoded (meaning that an specialist software programmer needs to program it).
How does this scale? Badly, you need a lot of specialist knowledge to run your factory. What about if you want to adjust your process on the fly (based on demand, constrains...)? You can't. You would have to reprogram the controllers and the PLCs, one by one.
Now what if you had 100 robots, but only one controller? Only one software? A software that controls and knows about all the robots. How fast can you change your process? With just few clicks, our smart algorithms, and no specialist knowledge. None.
Do you see now the Industry 4.0? Yes, it's us.
