An Integrated Data Collection Platform for AI-Powered Manufacturing Innovation
ExDAS enables flexible data collection and integration across heterogeneous equipment environments, ensuring reliable data acquisition.
By unifying diverse equipment interfaces and standardizing data, it establishes a stable collection environment.
It also supports real-time high-volume data processing and seamless integration with AI systems,
transforming raw manufacturing data into valuable insights rather than merely collecting it.
With ExDAS, you can realize a data-driven, intelligent manufacturing environment.

Definition of Roles
ExDAS DAQ (Data Acquisition for PLC) is a data collection application
designed to read real-time data from PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers).
It structures the data according to user-defined block/item mappings
and handles subsequent storage and transmission.

Limitations of Manufacturing Data Collection — Limitations of PLC Data Utilization
Difficulty in Integrated Data Collection within Environments with Mixed PLC Manufacturers and Protocols
Fragmentation Across PLC Manufacturers
- Communication protocols and address systems vary by manufacturer (such as Mitsubishi, Siemens, and LS), requiring separate development for each
Complexity of Manual Configuration
-
Manually configuring block addresses, device codes, and data types one by one leads to frequent configuration errors and omissions
Lack of Real-Time
Integration
Integration
-
PLC data is not delivered to higher-level systems (MES/ERP), resulting in delayed decision-making
Inability to Manage Change History
-
Inability to track the timing of data value changes and historical values, limiting root cause analysis of quality anomalies
- Proprietary software per manufacturer and manual Excel logging cannot support multi-PLC environments and limit scalability
- →
- Adopting an integrated PLC data collection solution is essential

ExDAS DAQvs. Conventional Data Collection Methods
Provides an integrated collection environment independent of PLC manufacturers → Out-of-the-box operation; allows shop floor operators to configure blocks directly
Features | ExDAS DAQ | Conventional Methods |
|---|---|---|
Multi-PLC Support | Integrated within a single app (Mitsubishi, Siemens, LS) | Separate software required for each manufacturer |
Configuration Convenience | GUI-based block configuration & Excel import support | Code modification or proprietary tools required |
Address System Automation | Automated DEC/HEX format conversion per DeviceCode | User-managed address format configuration |
Higher-Level System Integration | Real-time message publishing based on RabbitMQ | Separate middleware development required |
Data Change History | Automated logging of change timing, historical values, and current values | Direct implementation of history management required |
Deployment Environment | Lightweight operation; installed directly on on-site PCs | Separate server or high-spec environment required |

Expected Effects & Business Value
Minimizes adoption barriers · ✓ Multi-PLC integration within a single app · ✓ Operates on low-spec on-site PCs · ✓ Direct block configuration by operators
Features | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
Data Collection | Separate operation of proprietary software per manufacturer | Integrated collection within a single app |
PLC Configuration | Direct coding of protocols and address systems | Block and item configuration via GUI |
Higher-Level System Integration | Separate middleware development required | Automated RabbitMQ publishing |
Data Change History | None / Manual logging | Automated logging of change timing and historical values |
Configuration Migration | Redevelopment or manual migration | XML Import/Export |
