Intro
Idle
How Edmund thinks.
One question from the shopfloor. Five disconnected sources , schematics, PLC code, datasheets, IoT readings, decades of maintenance journals. One traced answer , with citations.
Maintenance technician asks
"Why is the gripper not opening?"
01
Step one
Context linking
It knows where the question lives.
Edmund classifies the question and locates the exact file in the right silo of your factory's knowledge graph, the PLC project, the function block, the line of structured text where the gripper-open routine is written.
02
Step two
Cross-source correlation
It threads the answer across silos.
From that line of code, Edmund follows the mag_ejected variable into the wiring diagram, traces the wire to the sensor, opens the sensor datasheet, and surfaces the manual section that describes the retraction routine.
03
Step three
Pattern recognition
It sees the fault before you see it.
Edmund matches this fault signature against years of measurement reports, every paper notebook, SAP ticket, SharePoint entry, and recognises this exact failure has been logged before.
+47
similar fault patterns logged across 12 machines over the past 90 days
04
Step four
Structured insights
It comes back with an answer.
Not a 50-PDF search result. Not a chatbot guess. A traceable answer the technician can act on, with every source clickable, every claim cited.
"Why is the gripper not opening?"
The gripper-open logic lives in Eject_Mag.scl. It only fires when:
eject_mag = TRUE
mag_empty = FALSE
no fault flags in mag_eject_fault or mag_retract_fault
This exact fault has been logged 47 times across 12 machines in the last 90 days, and resolved 41 of 47 times by re-pressurising Module 3 to 5.5 bar and resetting the magazine.
