What is Kepware?

Kepware solutions are the foundation for creating a standardized communications platform, whose objective is to connect the various industrial automation systems with software applications.

Using a scalable and unified architecture, they provide the flexibility to combine controllers and use multiple protocols on a single server, while offering a simplified interface for easy installation, configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Benefits of Kepware solutions

Accessibility

Kepware offers data access for industrial applications (such as SCADA and MES), IoT, and Big Data analytics applications via a standard OPC UA/DA protocol.

Optimization

Kepware improves communications and reduces network load through protocol optimizations.

Connectivity

Kepware supports a wide range of industrial protocols from different manufacturers.

Aggregation

Kepware simplifies the configuration of connected applications by providing a single point of entry to all information, eliminating the need for multiple solutions for discrete connectivity.

Security

Kepware offers tools to control user access to the server, data source, or data values; regulate read/write access, connect or disconnect client applications, and configure secure data tunnels.

Diagnostics

Kepware isolates communications between devices and applications for troubleshooting, offering OPC diagnostics for real-time and historical visualizations of events.

Licensing modalities

There are several licensing models for Kepware solutions, depending on the type of project you are working on:

KepserverEX: the traditional model of purchasing by drivers, either with a perpetual license or by subscription.
Kepware+ Enterprise: subscription-based connectivity solution with all drivers included and centralized management in the cloud.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of Kepware?

The cost will vary depending on the number of different controllers or advanced features required. For example, KepserverEX, configured for reading PLC data from a single manufacturer, will be more economical than another configuration that requires reading data from various manufacturers, regardless of the number of PLCs accessed.

What is Kepware+?

Kepware+ is a SaaS solution, based in the cloud, for centralizing the remote configuration of multiple Kepware Enterprises.

Can I try the products before buying?

Of course. Kepware solutions work without a license for two hours, during which you will have 100% of the functionality. After this time, the execution will stop, but you can restart it to have the two hours again and perform the tests you need.

Why is it claimed to be a standardized industrial communications platform?

Firstly, because of OPC. The OPC protocol has become the standard industrial real-time communications protocol. The Kepware platform, with its 150+ drivers from different manufacturers, allows translating these protocols to OPC, REST API, or MQTT, in order to facilitate the integration of process data to other applications.
In addition, with the new functionalities of Kepware+ and UA Gateway, the Kepware server becomes a centralized industrial data hub so that any application can exploit this data, eliminating connection and integration barriers.
