Kepware KEPServerEX

Kepware KEPServerEX is an industrial connectivity platform that acts as a universal translator between operational technology (OT) devices and IT systems, providing a single, centralized gateway for aggregating data from thousands of disparate industrial assets. Its core strength lies in its extensive library of over 150+ communication drivers supporting virtually every major PLC brand — Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, and many more — eliminating the need for custom code to connect heterogeneous equipment. What sets KEPServerEX apart is its plug-and-play driver architecture: controls engineers can add new device connections through configuration rather than programming, and its built-in IoT Gateway feature natively bridges OT data to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and REST APIs without middleware. For plant managers and IT/OT convergence teams, KEPServerEX streamlines workflows such as real-time data historization, edge-to-cloud data pipelines, and unified namespace (UNS) architectures, making it the go-to solution when the priority is reliable, vendor-agnostic device connectivity at scale.
