Inspect. Ask. Act.

AI on the line, not in a data centre.

Factory floors need answers at line speed, and images of your parts shouldn’t leave the plant. RageEdge runs vision and language models on gateways, HMIs and operator tablets, trained on your own SOPs and fault history.

See it work

The camera flags it. The operator asks why.

Inspection and work instructions on the same station, with nothing sent outside the plant.

  1. Inspect every partA vision model on the gateway checks each part as it passes.
  2. Ask why it stoppedThe operator asks the station in plain words.
  3. Answer from your SOPsThe answer uses your own work instructions and fault history.
  4. Send it to maintenanceOne tap opens a ticket for the right team.

Use cases

What teams in manufacturing ask it.

13 use cases, grouped by where the work happens. Each one has its own page.

On the line4 use cases

01Work instructions operators can question

Station tablet

Operators ask about a step, a tolerance or a fault code and get the answer from your own SOPs.

“Tolerance for the bore on part 4471?”

12.00 mm, plus 0.02 or minus 0.01. Measure at both ends, per SOP 8.1.

Example answer

02Changeover assistant

Tablet

Step-by-step changeovers with the settings for the next product, so the line restarts sooner.

“Changeover from part 4471 to 4480 on press 3?”

Swap die D-12 for D-15, set the stroke to 85 mm and run five test parts before release.

Example answer

03Operator help in their own language

Station tabletVietnamese

Operators ask in the language they’re most comfortable in, from the languages you train it on.

“Mã lỗi E-42 nghĩa là gì?”

What does fault code E-42 mean?

Cảm biến áp suất thấp. Kiểm tra đường khí nén.

Low pressure sensor. Check the air line.

Example answer, in Vietnamese

04Shift handover notes

TabletDesktop

Supervisors dictate handover notes on the tablet, and the next shift asks questions about them.

“What did the night shift change on line 1?”

They replaced the gripper pads at 03:10 and lowered conveyor speed by 5% until the new pads bed in.

Example answer

Quality3 use cases

05Camera inspection at line speed

Camera gateway

A vision model on the gateway checks every part and flags defects without sending images out of the plant.

“How many rejects on line 2 this shift?”

14 rejects, 11 of them surface scratches on the left side. That’s twice the usual rate.

Example answer

06Out-of-tolerance decisions

Tablet

Inspectors check what to do with a part that’s outside tolerance, from your quality procedures.

“The bore is 12.03 mm. Can I release it?”

No. It’s 0.01 mm over the limit. Tag it red and log it for the quality engineer, per procedure QP-4.

Example answer

07Quality report from the floor

TabletRugged handheld

With tools connected, inspectors raise a nonconformance with photos and details filled in.

“Raise a quality issue for batch 2214.”

I’ve drafted it with the photo and batch details. Approve to submit?

Example answer

Maintenance3 use cases

08Predictive maintenance

Edge gatewayDesktop

Models read machine signals on site and warn the maintenance team before a stoppage.

“Which spindle needs attention this week?”

Spindle 3 on machine 7. Vibration has risen for four days, in the same pattern as the last bearing failure.

Example answer

09Fault code lookup for technicians

Rugged handheld

Technicians get the cause and the fix for an alarm without walking back to the office.

“E-207 on the robot cell?”

Gripper vacuum lost. Check the suction cups and the hose at joint 6, then reset from the pendant.

Example answer

10Spare parts and tools

Rugged handheldPhone

Technicians check what’s in the store before they strip a machine down.

“Do we have a spare servo for axis 2?”

Yes, one in store B, bin 14, per this morning’s sync.

Example answer

Safety and training3 use cases

11Safety and quality procedures

KioskRugged handheldTablet

Anyone on the floor can ask how to do a task safely, in their own language.

“Lockout steps for the press?”

Stop the press, isolate the main switch, fit your lock and tag, then test the controls before you start.

Example answer

12EHS first steps

Kiosk

The right first steps after a spill, a splash or a near miss, straight from your EHS procedures.

“Chemical splash on my arm.”

Go to the eyewash and shower station by door 3 and rinse for at least 15 minutes, then tell your supervisor.

Example answer

13New-operator training

Tablet

New operators ask why a step matters, not just what to do.

“Why do we measure the bore at both ends?”

Because the bore can taper. SOP 8.1 explains the check and shows which gauge to use.

Example answer
Why on-device

Why on-device matters here.

  • Images stay in the plant

    Camera frames and production data never leave the building.

  • Line speed, not round trips

    Decisions happen on the gateway in milliseconds, without waiting on a network.

  • Shop floors drop signal

    Metal, machines and big buildings don’t stop the assistant.

Devices it runs on

  • Edge gateways
  • Line cameras
  • HMIs and desktops
  • Operator tablets
  • Supervisor phones
The loop

Every fix reaches every device.

The same three steps run behind every RageEdge assistant, whatever the industry.

  1. Train on your data

    Manuals, catalogues, SOPs, tickets and images, trained on your premises, in your cloud or in ours.

    How training works
  2. Deliver over the air

    Signed, staged updates reach every device on the schedule you set, with one-click rollback.

    Update controls
  3. Report and improve

    A wrong answer is one tap away from the right team. They fix the data, and the next version fixes it everywhere.
