Recent Innovations in Kepware
See new innovations in industrial connectivity that advance digital manufacturing initiatives, while ensuring connectivity, security, and usability
Recent highlights
Our goal with each release of Kepware is to expand our capabilities for both our long-standing customers and those who are just starting their digital transformation journey. The new and updated features in recent releases enable more robust, secure and efficient communication when connecting PLCs on the factory floor to OT and IT applications across the enterprise. Below is a summary of noteworthy features and enhancements in the most recent releases of Kepware.
Enhanced device connectivity
The Universal Device Driver streamlines and accelerates the creation of user-defined custom driver profiles using Javascript. The new driver enables greater visibility to Tier 2 and Tier 3 niche manufacturing devices including barcode readers, weigh scales, various sensors and RTUs. The introduction of a self-describing and generic development framework and scripting engine gives flexible control over managing driver aspects like basic communication types as well as build and parse messaging.
Improved IT/OT integrations
Kepware+ includes enhanced OPC UA protocol translation via the new OPC UA Gateway. The new gateway facilitates streamlined data flow to enable namespace aggregation, federation, and securing of structured data across the enterprise.
New enterprise management capabilities
Need to gain visibility, access, and control of on-prem Kepware servers without having to be on-site? Kepware+ includes new key capabilities to manage and monitor global OT data connectivity and integrations from a single pane of glass.
Improved license visibility
Tired of managing multiple license IDs across each device, suite, line, or site? Kepware+, our enterprise industrial connectivity solution, improves license visibility and streamlines deployment at scale.
