Operon Systems Partners with Kepware as Their Primary Supplier of Plant Floor Device Connectivity

Portland, ME, March 11, 2009 – Kepware Technologies, the leader in Communications for Automation, announced today that it has been selected as the primary supplier of communications between Operon Systems “Red Hawk” data collection and manufacturing productivity monitoring solutions and devices (PLCs, I/O and other plant floor controllers).

Operon Systems is a part of the Dunsirn Partners, LLC portfolio of companies. Started and based out of Appleton, Wisconsin, Operon Systems has been manufacturing and selling RedHawk to manufacturing companies looking to increase the productivity of their current operations since 2003. Kepware’s KEPServerEX solution offers Operon Systems all the connectivity they require, for data collection from the manufacturing plant floor.

“Operon Systems has identified a valuable niche that they will excel in with their product portfolio and they have focused on a partnership with Kepware to deliver the device communications they needed under the core competency that they deliver.” explained Roy Kok, VP of Sales and Marketing of Kepware Technologies. “Our joint customers can install these solutions with the knowledge that Operon Systems and Kepware will work together to deliver a leading and supported end to end solution, even though we are two separate companies.”

“Kepware is the leader in plant floor communications,” stated Troy Dunsirn, President of Operon Systems. “We needed a partner that had an impeccable reputation for plant floor connectivity and that could take the issue of communications off the table as we focus on the sale of our RedHawk solution. Kepware delivers on both fronts. Once our customers hear that we are delivering Kepware communications, we just move on to the next discussion topic.”
