What is a Unified Namespace? A unified namespace (UNS) is a single point of access for manufacturing data, such as order information, historical information, telemetry information, and execution information. It aggregates, standardizes, organizes, and contextualizes data from various sources, including telemetry systems, historical transactional master data files, and more.To achieve this, a UNS typically uses the […]
