VEXPLOR AAS Studio and VEXPLOR Edge are published under Apache-2.0. Machine and factory IT engineers download and install them themselves, change them, and ship them in commercial products.
Author equipment AAS (Asset Administration Shell) in a web app and check it against 43 rules. It collects OPC UA, Modbus TCP and MQTT values as the collection links (AID) in the AAS describe, and serves them through the IDTA Part 2 REST API and MES, ERP and CMMS integration.

The remote collector you put on one factory PC. It reads only the machine values on a list a person approved and sends them out over HTTPS — outbound only. It connects from the AAS Studio screen with one button and one pasted line.
| Version | v1.0.0 |
| Runs on | Linux x64 · arm64 (systemd) — Windows in preparation |
| License | Apache License 2.0 |
The AID in an AASX says which tags of which machine to read, at which address and interval. The server turns them into a read list.
Making the command in Settings → Remote collectors approves the list. The collector reads only an approved list; a changed list is not read until it is approved again.
VEXPLOR Edge, installed by one command line, only reads the PLCs and sends signed batches to the server over HTTPS 443. The values appear in the equipment file's Collect pane.
