Designing an Information Model for Your Unified Namespace

This webinar provides practical guidance on designing a robust information model for your Unified Namespace (UNS) that serves as a single source of truth and scales with your digital manufacturing strategy. We’ll examine the shift from dynamically created namespaces to a centrally governed information model — a structured approach that ensures consistency, interoperability, and readiness for advanced analytics and AI.

The session will walk through key steps for building your information model, including:

• Mapping the physical and logical structure of your organization

• Modeling data flows between business systems and control systems

• Contextualizing equipment resources and operational data within the UNS information model

• Creating an edge-to-cloud UNS backbone to integrate shop floor data with advanced analytics and AI systems

By the end of the session, you’ll understand how to move beyond dynamic namespaces and establish a scalable, governable information model that becomes the foundation of your digital manufacturing initiatives.
