SAP Demonstrates Using xMII With Kepware's KEPServerEX

Kepware is pleased to see companies as notable as SAP, highlighting our KEPServerEX OPC Servers for connectivity to plant floor automation systems. KEPServerEX delivers a unique architecture decoupling the OPC Server from the Protocol Plug-ins needed for communications. There are over 100 Plug-ins available for KEPServerEX. This decoupled architecture enables Kepware to maintain the latest levels of Standards (OPC) support, across its entire portfolio of communications.

This benefits SAP and SAP customers in several ways. First, there is one, consistent interface between SAP products and plant floor devices. Second, customers are assured that as they add additional protocols, they will leverage their previous knowledge and are able to configure and commission new communications effortlessly. Finally, the broad availability of communications drivers from Kepware ensures that SAP and its customers can enjoy one stop shopping and one point of contact for all their communication needs.
