Unified Namespace

From Point-to-Point to Single Source of Truth

A unified namespace makes it easy to connect machines, SCADA, ERP and applications. One central data bus replaces numerous individual connections and makes your factory ready for scalable digitization.

UpBlue makes UNS accessible

The UpBlue platform implements Unified Namespace in a visual, user-friendly way. Without technical expertise, you can set up, manage and expand your complete data architecture via our intuitive interface.

  • Visual structure mapping

    Build your UNS hierarchy via drag-and-drop interface without programming.
  • Scalable

    New systems or machines? Add them without complete rebuild. The namespace grows with your factory.
  • Flexible data structure

    All data is structured according to ISA-95 standard and is adaptable to your requirements.

Why choose Unified Namespace?

The Unified Namespace forms the backbone of modern industrial data architecture. It centralizes data from all systems in one structured, contextual layer, available to everyone in real-time.

Scalability

From a few machines to complete factories - scale with your growth without system complexity.

System-independent

Connect ERP, MES, SCADA, PLCs and more without vendor lock-in.

Event-driven

Receive and use data the moment it changes.

Real-time insights

Direct access to current production data without delays or data fragmentation.

Single Source of Truth

One data bus with one truth for the entire organization.

Clear overview

Through the ISA-95 data structure, your data is logically and consistently structured, simplifying management and analysis.

Flexible system integrations

With the Unified Namespace as the foundation, you easily integrate with all existing and future systems via standardized APIs and data structure.

Protocol Converter: From OT to UNS

The UpBlue Protocol Converter forms the bridge between your industrial systems and the Unified Namespace. All machine "languages" are translated into structured UNS data that is directly available for analysis and integration.

  • Universal connectivity

    Supports all common industrial protocols: Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC-UA, Siemens S7, MQTT and more.
  • Real-time UNS integration

    Converted data is automatically published to the Unified Namespace.
  • No-code configuration

    Manage all protocol conversions via an intuitive web interface without programming knowledge.

Intelligent data transformation

Transform and aggregate machine and sensor data automatically into structured data with context and metadata that are usable for analysis and dashboards.

Contextual mapping

From "DB1.DBW10" to "Enterprise/Site/Area/Line_A/Production_counter" - complete ISA-95 hierarchy with meaning.

Real-time aggregations

Automatically calculate production KPIs, throughput times and efficiency figures in real-time. All calculations are performed live.

Data validation & quality

Filter polluted data and prevent incorrect values from polluting your UNS. Maintain data integrity.

Manage with the UpBlue Management Environment

In the UpBlue Management Environment you can easily manage the Unified Namespace. Add new systems, manage data streams and monitor performance in one clear environment.

This central management environment makes it easy to optimize your data landscape and adapt to changing needs.
