Research director Craig Resnick said the agreement allows the companies to “provide the marketplace with specific choices based on differences in available HMI/SCADA technology, add-ins and complementary offerings, product support, or user preference.

Because we have a wide range of complementary offerings specific to the Wonderware market and other products that add value to Kepware’s products, we are ideally positioned to continue to focus on the Wonderware market for Kepware.” John Weber, president of Software Toolbox, added, “Software Toolbox offers a variety of connectivity products as well as graphical, wizard, and HMI object add-in products that enable it to offer a one-stop shop for third-party products for automation applications. Software Toolbox has marketed and provided technical support for Kepware products since 1996, forming a partnership with Kepware in 2001, Software Toolbox, working with the Wonderware distribution channel, has installed thousands of licenses with Wonderware InTouch, InSQL/Historian, and System Platform/Application Server.Īccording to Roy Kok, Kepware VP of marketing and sales, “TOP Server and KEPServerEX are identical from a technical standpoint and because Software Toolbox always releases TOP Server in step with KEPServerEX, users of TOP Server will have immediate access to our latest technologies.”
