The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has been a game changer for operational maintenance. Real-time, sensor-fed condition monitoring allows manufacturers to shift their asset health strategy from a reactive to proactive approach, so they can prevent failures before they occur. Key reasons to consider a predictive maintenance model include:• Less unplanned downtime due to unexpected […]

In the last two years, I’ve spoken to hundreds of professionals in the industrial space, and the Unified Namespace (or UNS) design pattern has been a consistently difficult concept for them to wrap their heads around. The Unified Namespace is nothing magical. But it is a different approach than we have taken in the past. […]

The Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture pattern has proven to be an effective means to opening industrial data access up to the entire business, but the road to implementation is not without a few speed bumps.First, as industrial companies start to establish their hierarchy and build a UNS, they may find it difficult to get their […]

The Unified Namespace (UNS) is among the fastest-growing data architecture patterns for Industry 4.0, promising easy publish-subscribe access to hierarchically structured industrial data. The UNS is often defined as a consolidated, abstracted structure by which all business applications can consume real-time industrial data in a consistent manner. A UNS allows users to combine multiple values […]

Have you ever watched a press conference when a room full of reporters bark questions at the same time? Typically, the media event host will call on a particular reporter to repeat the question and then move on to the next person in the room. Without some ground rules, an actual conversation couldn’t take place. […]

DataOps is a new category of software solutions that address the data architecture needs of industrial companies as they adopt Industry 4.0, Digital Transformation, and Smart Manufacturing. DataOps solutions perform data contextualization and standardization and provide secure data flow to the various consuming applications running at the Edge, in on-premises data centers, or in the […]

The promise of Industry 4.0 has many manufacturing leaders thinking big. They envision a future in which real-time access to data opens the door to unprecedented levels of operational flexibility, predictability, and business improvement. For many, early-stage wins often lead to larger projects that stall or fail to scale because their data infrastructure couldn’t support […]

Industry 4.0 adopters in factories around the world recognize that industrial data is gold. More users and systems want access to this data in real time to convert it into valuable information they can act on to predict machine failure, prevent downtime, improve product quality, and meet sustainability goals. IDC projected there will be 41.6 […]
