What is Kepware Server
Kepware Server is the proven standard for industrial connectivity, formerly known as KEPServerEX and ThingWorx Kepware Server. The platform transforms proprietary device data into standardized formats for any application, whether traditional OT applications like SCADA or historians or modern IT applications including the cloud.
In minutes—not months—you can bridge OT and IT without costly hardware upgrades or custom coding. And, Kepware Server is proven at scale across production lines, sites, and entire enterprises, Kepware Server has delivered secure, reliable connectivity trusted by manufacturers for over 30 years.
Capabilities
Device Connectivity
Legacy and modern devices often leverage proprietary protocols and have limited compute, creating data gaps. Kepware Server solves this with 150+ pre-built drivers and scriptable options for custom interfaces - connecting virtually any device quickly and reliably.
OT Data Aggregation
Disparate data streams make visibility and control difficult. Kepware aggregates OT data from devices, lines, and sites into one secure interface, simplifying architectures and delivering normalized data across your operations.
Data Transformation
Kepware converts proprietary protocols into open standards like OPC UA and MQTT, while enabling real-time, condition-based linking between devices. This simplifies automation, alerts, and control - eliminating costly point-to-point integrations and turning raw data into actionable insights.
Secure OT & IT Integrations
Kepware Server securely bridges OT and IT by integrating device data into virtually any application including ERP, MES, SCADA, and cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure. Kepware Server also supports logging data to ODBC-compliant databases for compliance, analytics, and AI/ML insights. This reduces integration complexity and strengthens security.
Kepware+ Manager Compatibility
Managing large-scale deployments is challenging. Kepware+ Manager provides centralized monitoring and configuration, ensuring secure, efficient control of multiple servers across enterprise environments.
