The IoT Gateway, on the other hand, streams real-time machine data into a variety of Big Data and analytic software applications, allowing users to choose vendors and communication methodologies based on their organizational needs, the company said.
Kepware has a similar product, called the Industrial Data Forwarder, but that is designed specifically for Splunk software and cloud services. Kepware’s new IoT Gateway for KEPServerEX version 5.19-which supports over 150 communication protocols-streams real-time machine and sensor data from programmable automation controllers (PACs), programmable logic controllers (PLC), remote terminal units (RTUs), flow computers, OPC servers, and other industrial hardware and software, directly into Big Data applications.
In an effort to overcome that hurdle, Kepware Technologies, a maker of industrial communication software, has released a gateway that pushes data coming from it’s KEPServerEX communication platform (used to connect a variety of automation devices and applications) directly into cloud-based analytics programs. The release also features updates to 30 drivers and advanced plug-ins.Perhaps one of the biggest roadblocks related to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the inability to easily move manufacturing data into enterprise applications for analysis. The agent enables users to move industrial data on the edge into ThingWorx using the secure ThingWorx binary protocol for high throughput. The ThingWorx agent, now available in the IoT Gateway for KEPServerEX, is designed to provide improved interoperability with the ThingWorx IoT Platform. These updates come amidst growing global demand-especially in Japan-driven by energy efficiency initiatives, smart building design, and system integration efforts for building automation. The enhanced BACnet/IP driver offers users in the building automation industry more options for connectivity and control through its support of the accumulator standard object, object-level command priority, and alarm and event services. Kepware Technologies’ KEPServerEX version 5.20 software upgrade is designed to offer additional device and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity for users in building automation, manufacturing, and the oil and gas industries.
