Kepware - Industrial data communication for networked production systems

Kepware as the central interface between machines, control systems and IT systems

Implementing industrial connectivity efficiently with Kepware

Kepware is a platform for industrial data communication that connects machines, controllers and sensors from different manufacturers. Companies use Kepware to collect production data centrally and make it available to systems such as MES, SCADA or IoT platforms as a basis for monitoring, analyses and Industry 4.0 processes.

In modern production environments, machines, controllers and sensors often communicate via different protocols and interfaces. This diversity makes it difficult for companies to record production data centrally and utilise it in higher-level systems. This is precisely where Kepware comes in.

Kepware acts as a central communication platform between the operational production level (OT) and higher-level IT systems. A wide variety of devices can be connected via standardised drivers and their data provided in a structured manner. This gives companies a uniform access point to their production data and creates the basis for industrial IoT, smart factory and data-based process optimisation.

Universal connectivity

Hundreds of industrial devices and controllers can be connected via standardised drivers.

Centralised data aggregation

Machine and production data are brought together in a structured manner and made available centrally.

Optimised communication

Efficient data transmission reduces network load and improves system performance.

Transparent system monitoring

Monitoring and diagnostic functions facilitate fault analysis and system operation.

Industrial data integration with Kepware in practice

Reliably connect machines and control systems

Kepware enables the structured integration of a wide variety of machines, controllers and sensors into a centralised communication platform. Devices from different manufacturers can be connected via a variety of available drivers and their data provided in a standardised form.

This enables companies to create a stable and scalable database for production monitoring, analyses and digital applications. At the same time, Kepware reduces integration costs and simplifies communication between different systems in the industrial infrastructure.
