Kepware Technologies has announced that its KEPServerEX product has been tested and approved by Junot Systems, a leading provider of embedded SAP integration solutions for the manufacturing and process industries, for use with their NLINK OPC to SAP Solution.
The latest generation of Kepware’s OPC server technology, KEPServerEX, was designed to allow users to quickly setup communications from equipment to control and business systems via a wide range of available plug-in device drivers and components. Junot Systems will now recommend Kepware OPC products and technology for use with its NLINK OPC to SAP Solution to its manufacturing customers that need to connect their automation systems to SAP.
“Junot Systems has been successfully providing SAP integration to the plant floor for many years,” says Roy Kok, VP of Sales and Marketing for Kepware. “Their decision to officially test and support Kepware for device communications validates the OPC solutions their customers already have in place and will enable them to leverage over 130 interfaces from one server delivering a consistent and high quality SAP integration solution,” he added.
“We have been working with Kepware products for several years, both in-house and through successful installations with many of our customer sites,” says Peter Slater, president of Junot Systems. “We are excited to expand our business relationship with Kepware and will continue to work closely with them to make sure our manufacturing customers have validated and supported access to Kepware’s leading OPC servers.”
“OPC provides the infrastructure for interfacing high level business systems to plant floor processes,” says Thomas Burke, president of the OPC Foundation. “Kepware is the solution of choice by the industry, demonstrating leadership through its delivery of an extensive offering of protocols, and through its state-of-the-art OPC Server solution. Junot Systems and Kepware are both long-time members of the OPC Foundation and their dedication to developing and delivering the highest quality products is consistently demonstrated through their participation in the OPC Foundation interoperability workshops.
