In this inaugural episode of The Connected Factory podcast, host, Alexander, and Jan discuss the challenges and opportunities of implementing a Unified Namespace (UNS) in the pharmaceutical industry—a highly regulated sector where innovation must balance with compliance.
The MES has been THE place to integrate data on the shop floor for many years, and the UNS challenges this MES-centric approach and pushes it from infrastructure into the application category. Watch this video to know about Alex view.
Traditional Historians excel at providing shop floor insights, but modern architectures like UNS offer more flexibility. With protocol converters, real-time data, and tools like Node-RED and Grafana, UNS can now effectively replace most Historian features.
Looking to connect your factory systems efficiently? Discover three proven approaches—using databases, direct service calls, or message brokers. Learn which method suits your setup best and why a UNS might be the best choice.
Historians vs. Open-Source Databases: We debunk myths around reliability and compression, showing why open-source databases often offer better transparency, integration, and scalability for modern data needs.
In this webinar, Mateusz Warda and Alexander Krüger demonstrate how to create real-time OEE and Energy Monitoring manufacturing dashboards on top of UMH.
Why Operational Technology is essential, especially if you come from an IT background? In this video, we break down the key differences between IT and OT, and explain why OT is critical for real-time control in industrial environments.
In this video, we focus on the key differences between OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) systems, and how they fit into a Unified Namespace architecture.
The Unified Namespace (UNS) offers a smarter, more scalable way to connect different components in industrial and IT/OT architectures. In this video, we cover the 5 basic components that enable it.
Whether you need rapid prototyping or a scalable, professional-grade solution, choosing the right tool is essential for your IIoT projects. Read more to understand the key differences between Node-RED and Benthos.
