Ready-made machine communication library
Instead of writing protocols and data frames from scratch, your controls engineer imports a finished block package into the PLC project and starts sending process data right away.
Deployment
Analyze your first data in just a few days.
Bringing exeTrace up looks nothing like a six-month IT project. We deliver a ready-made machine communication library, a clear user manual and a panel where your own technical team configures everything in the browser.

1–3 days from installation to first shop-floor data
Your own team brings it up with no outside integrators
How it works in practice
Three steps stand between you and your first shop-floor data.
- Day 1
Server on your network
Start the Docker images — infrastructure is up within hours.
- Day 2
Machines connected
Your controls engineer imports ready blocks into TIA Portal — no outside integrators.
- Day 3
Live data flowing
See unit passports, scrap Pareto and bottlenecks.
Why days instead of months
Traditional rollouts drag on for months. We removed what slows them down.
In most shop-floor systems, the biggest sink of time and nerves is writing PLC communication from scratch and hard-coding the process. In exeTrace, that work is already done.
Traditional rollout of other systems
- 1 Drags on for months — from scoping workshops through endless testing and rework.
- 2 Ties up production, maintenance and IT engineers in dozens of status meetings.
- 3 Every machine is programmed from scratch, breeding teething issues and line downtime.
exeTrace deployment
- 1 Wraps up in a few working days — you see live station data in the very first week.
- 2 Your controls engineer imports a ready-made library into the PLC and passes values to standard functions.
- 3 Lines, machines and tolerance limits are configured calmly in the browser without stopping production.
Why it is so straightforward
We have already done the hardest part for you.
Simple configuration straight from the interface
Set up lines, stations, products and parameter limits in a clean web panel. Updating the configuration takes moments and requires no programming.
Your own technical team can handle it
Maintenance and IT stay in full control from day one. When a new machine or parameter appears, your team adds it without waiting for a vendor.
Practical user manual included
We include clear step-by-step documentation — from starting the server and connecting the PLC to daily work in the dashboard.
Browser-based configuration
Every setting at your fingertips in one panel.
In the configuration view you add lines, machines, components and staff, download PLC libraries, check connector health and generate API keys — without touching config files.
Ready-made machine library
Your controls engineer calls ready blocks in the PLC project.
The library includes the full set of SET_* functions and the FB900 communication block. Pass the serial number, measured values and verdict — the block handles the rest.
Flexible cooperation model
Deploy with your own team or hand the rollout to us.
By default
Deployed by your team
We hand over the installation package, machine communication library and user manual. Your technical team brings the system up at its own pace with no extra rollout fees.
Individually quoted
Deployed by our engineers
Prefer us to set up the environment, connect the PLCs and configure the process on-site or remotely? We can run the rollout — scope and pricing are quoted individually.
On special request
Tailored to your requirements
Every plant has its own specifics. If you need a dedicated view, custom report or an extension for a non-standard process, we will adapt exeTrace to your needs.
Open architecture
Simple communication with external systems and with AI models.
Data collected from your machines is never locked inside a single tool — pass it across your network with ease.
REST API for external systems
The system exposes a documented REST API secured with access keys, making integration with your ERP, MES or internal reporting tools straightforward and predictable.

AI model integration via MCP
Integration with AI models through the MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface is also possible, letting models query production data safely and surface insights faster.
