Overview
A unified namespace (UNS) is a central hub containing all the data your organization collects from IoT devices, sensors, machines, and more. Unlike a traditional industrial architecture, which moves data up or down one layer at a time using point-to-point connections, a UNS unifies data so it appears to be in a single location. This method connects to all software and hardware devices, such as ERPs, sensors, MES, industrial control systems, and other equipment, to enable seamless communication and make data more easily consumed by different data consumers. By creating a single source of truth, UNS plays an essential role in any digital transformation process, allowing your organization to integrate data more easily, improve agility and scalability, and optimize efficiency.
