iLEAN Edge · AI on the plant floor
iLEAN Edge — 29 documented use cases.
Edge is the terminal that lives on the line: it sees, decides and triggers the actuator in milliseconds, with no dependence on connectivity. These are its documented use cases. Each page follows the same discipline: the real problem, how it fits the IRIS system, a before/after table and an impact estimate to be validated with your numbers.
iLEAN Edge on real lines.
Every case is written for the person who runs that line — with the numbers the committee asks for.
