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 OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a data collection application that captures screens in real time via cameras and automatically extracts text utilizing OCR technology. It is designed to automatically read data from equipment displays on the shop floor and transmit it to higher-level systems.

Limitations of Manufacturing Data Collection — Data Silos in Legacy Systems
Data Collection Impossible from Legacy Equipment Lacking API/DB Interfaces
Data Silos in Legacy Systems
- Legacy HMI/PLC units lack digital interfaces, making data collection impossible
Manual Data Entry
- Operators manually record values by visually checking screens, leading to errors and inefficiency
Gaps in Real-Time Monitoring
- No immediate alarms even when thresholds are exceeded, resulting in delayed incident detection
Lack of Data History
- Unable to trace past data, limiting root cause analysis and quality improvements
- SCADA and general-purpose OCR cannot support legacy equipment and demand high-performance environments
- →
- Adopting a flexible screen OCR solution is essential
