The solution provides complete support of the Open Platform Communications (OPC) standard, exchanging data between multi-vendor devices and control applications without proprietary restrictions. An accurate, secure, and real-time acquisition and delivery of critical information across networks is a key requirement in an industry where regulatory requirements for protection and control systems data are rigorous, and safety is always paramount. “KEPServerEX monitors a vast amount of system-critical information to efficiently asses how machinery is utilized to ensure that downtime is minimized and network performance is maximized,” says Tony Paine, CEO of Kepware.
An energy management plan requires intelligent device connectivity to control energy usage, reduce energy costs, increase efficiency, and improve return on investment. Kepware’s solution set works within new network technologies and connects thousands of devices, providing real-time data collection that consolidates data into a single-server connectivity platform.

The Local Historian is an easy-to-configure, flexible, and cost-effective local data storage plug-in that captures information for future analysis. By plugging into the KEPServerEX connectivity platform, it connects to devices in real-time without operational downtime. The Local Historian plug-in moves data collection, storage, and access closer to the data source to prevent data loss and improve operational efficiency with open access and a single product solution.
The KEPServerEX communications platform's single user interface across all driver and driver suites establishes a communications buffer where additional features and plug-ins can be installed on an as-needed basis—keeping its latest technologies and communication drivers at the tip of its clients’ fingers. Kepware’s RedundancyMaster and Media Level Redundancy advanced plug-in helps ensure redundant, secure, and reliable operations while minimizing operating costs. KEPServerEX also includes the ability to define redundant devices and networks, in addition to their failover criteria. These systems provide the much-coveted interoperability and system integration for the power and utility industry.
In the near future, the Kepware product portfolio will expand further into improving connectivity and accessibility in IoT devices and applications. With new features such as WebSocket support for IoT gateways, improved data distribution services, and more on the horizon, Kepware’s solutions will further enhance the connectivity and communication between machines and their operators.
