RELEASE: Portland, ME January

leader in Communications for Automation, announced today 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

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
