Quality
MSA, FMEA, SPC and risk management: the tools that stop defects from first surfacing at the customer.
// esp ACADEMY
EDI has seen too many mistakes go live in a project not to spare you from them.
Knowledge from real projects: explained clearly, ready to use.
EDI
The Expert
Knowledge you can use straight away.EDI already made the mistakes for you.From practice, for practice.MSA, FMEA and friends, finally understandable.Training without the sleep mode.
We do not teach from the textbook. We teach from what went wrong in our own projects and how we solved it. EDI bundles that practical knowledge into workshops and courses you can apply in your own project the next day.
// Topics
What EDI teaches you
02
Design
Tolerance analysis and design for manufacturing, so the drawing still works on the shop floor.
03
Lean
Lean management, kaizen and process optimisation, hands-on rather than theoretical.
04
Vision and optics
Camera systems, illumination and optical metrology: the fundamentals that make or break every vision project.
05
Project management
Technical projects and product development, taught by people who are in the middle of such projects themselves.
06
Consulting
Analysis, coaching and implementation support, for when you need a sparring partner rather than just a course.
// Format
On site, online or tailored individually, whichever fits your team best.
// Courses
esp ACADEMY courses
Training from real projects, in small groups here in Gais or at your own site. Dates are arranged with you, and prices are per person for groups of four to eight.
-
Reading and checking technical drawings
Learn to read technical drawings with confidence and check them for errors, the basis of every conversation between design and production.
Next date Date on request -
Creating technical drawings: standards and design rules (optics, mechanics)
From sketch to standards-compliant drawing: how to document optical and mechanical parts so that production understands them unambiguously.
Next date Date on request -
Tolerance analysis for parts and assemblies
How much tolerance can a part carry before the assembly stops fitting? Hands-on tolerance analysis for single parts and complete assemblies.
Next date Date on request -
Sensitivity analysis
Which quantity has the largest influence on your result? We show how to find that out systematically instead of by trial and error.
Next date Date on request -
Frequency and modal analysis
Where does your design resonate, and why? The fundamentals of frequency and modal analysis, explained in practice.
Next date Date on request -
Vibration analysis and amplification
How resonances and amplification arise, and how to design them out instead of repairing them later.
Next date Date on request -
Controller design and tuning
From the PID controller to fine tuning: how to design control loops systematically instead of guessing at parameters.
Next date Date on request -
Gitflow
A clear branching workflow that lets your team develop in parallel without getting in each other's way.
Next date Date on request -
Measurement system analysis (MSA 1, MSA 2, ...)
Before you doubt your process, check your measuring system: MSA shows whether your readings mean anything at all.
Next date Date on request -
Gage R&R
How reproducible is your measuring system really? Gage R&R gives you the number, and shows where the variation comes from.
Next date Date on request -
Six Sigma methodology
A structured approach to lasting process improvement: DMAIC, from defining the problem to keeping it solved.
Next date Date on request -
Process validation
How to prove that a process reliably delivers what it should, not once but permanently.
Next date Date on request -
Process development (PEP)
Structured process development, from the first idea to a released, stable process.
Next date Date on request -
Product development (PRP)
The product development process at a glance, from requirement to series maturity.
Next date Date on request -
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
The ground rules of good manufacturing practice, relevant as soon as quality is not merely important but prescribed.
Next date Date on request -
FMEA and risk analysis
Find failures before they happen: FMEA as a systematic tool for risk analysis in design and process.
Next date Date on request -
Quality function deployment (QFD)
Translate customer requirements into technical characteristics systematically, so that nobody develops past the customer.

Vision systems
Sub-micron wafer alignment: why two marks are not enough
Six wafers, two mark types, one machine. In one configuration placement was under 1 µm, in the other 5 to 6 µm. The difference was not in the mechanics, but in the number of measurement points.
- Target accuracy
- ±1 µm
- Mark detection
- ±0.6 µm, 500 images per type
- Face-to-face placement
- < 1 µm
Production lines
Three measuring machines, one technology transfer
Three identical measuring machines for one production line. We built the first, the customer built the second and third from documentation written for exactly that.
- Systems
- 3 complete measuring machines
- Interface repeatability
- ±1 µm
- Supplier line items
- over 20
// All three divisions
Three heads. One solution.
SIGI works out the solution, PAULI builds it, EDI explains it to you. You can come in through any of them.
