PTC adds secure data access to CNC and injection molding machines with new release of Kepware industrial connectivity platform

PTC announced the release of the KEPServerEX Version 6.6 industrial connectivity platform. The latest version of KEPServerEX includes several new innovations and security enhancements that extend Kepware’s market-leading position in computer numeric control (CNC) and injection molding machine (IMM) connectivity, enabling manufacturers to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives. “Connectivity to industrial assets in operational environments is driving valuable insights that allow manufacturers to improve productivity, efficiency, and safety. However, due to their age and the complexity of the protocols used, some assets, such as CNCs and IMMs, have proven to be notoriously difficult to tap for data,” said Howard Heppelmann, general manager, Connected Operations Solutions, PTC.
