Making data available to many applications across the organisation for rapid iterative development and integration.
Understanding the Unified Namespace
Hub and Spokes data distribution
UNS allows many diffent applications to receive data from the same source, by distributing the data through a hub.
Structured messages
Provide insight into the information available with a defined message structure.
Data availability
Break the ISA-95 chains and make data available for the whole shop floor, accellerate innovation.
Unlocking Data Power with Unified Namespaces
Unified Namespaces (UNS) provide a centralized, standardized approach to data management and governance
Data Accessibility
UNS serves as a unified repository, simplifying data discovery for rich applications.
Faster System Integration
UNS introduces a consistent naming convention, streamlining technology integration.
Enhanced Scalability
Designed for IT landscape growth, UNS seamlessly integrates new devices and systems.
FlowFuse seamlessly integrates with UNS
FlowFuse enhances implementation and data management. Users can refine and preprocess data before publishing it to the Unified Namespace. As a comprehensive platform, FlowFuse extends Node-RED's capabilities, serving as a centralized hub for data flows.
With effortless integration into UNS, users gain control over data pipelines, ensuring continuous flow and integrity. For a successful UNS implementation, trust our expert team to guide your organization effectively, unlocking the full potential for actionable insights.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UNS?
The unified namespace is a new data architecture to accellerate digital transformation. All data, from sensors, systems, and machines are connected to make their data available to a unified network of data producers and consumers. This speeds up application building, system integration, and delivers faster insights into productivity.
Why is the UNS important?
The UNS makes data available for more people to make better data-driven decisions. Furthermore, it allows for quick integration of new services and machines.
How to implement a unified namespace?
To implement a unified namespace you'll adapt your data producers to talk to a common broker. The adaptation layer is usually Node-RED, where MQTT is the current default pick as broker protocol. Implementation can start piece-meal and the value the UNS delivers will grow expontially.
How much does a unified namespace cost?
A proof-of-concept implementation can happen entirely with open-source software, and be free. For production and enterprise features and reliablity there's licenses for sale for both MQTT brokers, and message formatters like Node-RED.
