Digital transformation has revolutionized industrial operations. Today’s leading organizations harness new technology for greater efficiency, innovation, and growth. However, digital transformation also presents a challenge: You must avoid data silos and fragmented systems, which hinder seamless communications and data sharing across platforms. Enter the Unified Namespace. The goal is to break down all the walls between digital systems. This need for holistic integration led researchers to propose a new definition of digital transformation : [Digital transformation (DT)] includes the networking of actors such as businesses and customers across all value-added chain segments, and the application of new technologies. As such, DT requires skills that involve the extraction and exchange of data as well as the analysis and conversion of that data into actionable information. This information should be used to calculate and evaluate options, in order to enable decisions and/or initiate activities… So how can manufacturers, logistics providers, and other industrial operators successfully convert “data into actionable information” in the era of IIoT? The answer is simple: Build a Unified Namespace (UNS). The UNS framework offers a single source of truth for all IIoT data, complete with vital context and interoperability between components. It’s the single best way to […]
