Kepware Technologies KEPServerEX version 5.21 software upgrade is designed to extend the connectivity options available within KEPServerEX and expands interoperability with the ThingWorx Internet of Things (IoT) platform for increased deployment of smart-connected solutions for the IoT. KEPServerEX version 5.21 introduces the ThingWorx native client interface, a fully-integrated solution designed to provide rapid connection to industrial things. The ThingWorx native client interface extends KEPServerEX and leverages Kepware’s library of 150+ communication drivers to provide industrial controls data to the ThingWorx IoT Platform. The update also features a KEPServerEX Extension for the ThingWorx IoT Platform, which allows users to connect and configure ThingWorx-developed applications to KEPServerEX. The extension automatically configures a KEPServerEX remote thing template within ThingWorx and provides services to browse, read, write, and interact with the configuration.
