What is a Unified Namespace and How Does it Work in Manufacturing?

A unified namespace (UNS) provides a single point of access for all manufacturing data within an organization. It aggregates data from various sources like orders, historical records, telemetry, and execution information.Instead of functioning as a single version of the truth, a UNS acts as a “single access point” to data. This means that while a UNS pulls data from […]
