The Early Decision Tool (EDT) is an intelligent leak testing solution that speeds up the decision-making process by analysing pressure trends early in the test cycle.

It works in two stages:

  • Learning Mode – Thousands of measurement curves from real production parts are collected to define a reliable uncertainty zone. This creates clear green (pass), red (fail), and grey (undecided) areas.

  • Production Mode – During testing, the tool checks the measured values against these zones. If the result falls in the green zone, the part is accepted early. If it falls in the red zone, it’s rejected immediately. Only grey-zone results continue through additional steps until a final decision is made.

By making accurate decisions earlier, the EDT helps manufacturers reduce cycle times while maintaining high precision and reliability.
