Pro-Server EX

Pro-Server EX from Pro-face is a data management and communication software used mainly in industrial automation systems to connect HMIs, PLCs, and PCs into a unified data flow system. It is designed to sit between the factory floor and office systems, collecting real time production data from equipment through Ethernet connections and then distributing it into applications like Excel, Access, or SQL databases for analysis and reporting. One of its key strengths is automated data collection, which allows continuous logging of machine status, production counts, alarms, and downtime information without heavy programming. It also supports data writing back to devices, meaning operators can send production instructions or parameter changes from the office directly to the shop floor. The software integrates tightly with Pro-face HMI systems and enables features like email alerts for abnormal conditions, template based report generation, and device to device communication even without a PC in some configurations. It is widely used in manufacturing environments where traceability and productivity monitoring are important.
