What does UNS stand for?

UNS stands for Unified Namespace.

Where is Unified Namespace (UNS) used and why?

The Unified Namespace is used in manufacturing and other sectors to enable organisations to make better use of data by providing real-time access to it in a unified manner.

What are the benefits of implementing UNS?

Reduced integration cost, improved operational agility, scalable IIoT implementation and increased innovation capacity across the entire organisation are some of the benefits of implementing Unified Namespace(UNS).

Where does the Unified Namespace (UNS) live?

The Unified Namespace can live anywhere where it can be accessible by all network participants through a single unified interface, e.g MQTT broker, database, etc.

Unified Namespace (UNS) Essentials

Q: What is Unified Namespace(UNS)?

The Unified Namespace is the structure and events of your business, and a hub through which all your IIoT components communicate.

Your One-stop Guide to Understanding UNS in Totality

Unified Namespace (UNS) is a novel solution that allows you to collect data from various industrial IoT (IIoT) systems, add context to it, and transform it into a format that other systems can understand.
