In this sixth and final part of the UNS Basics series, we explain the concept of protocol converters. A protocol converter is used when data is not communicated using the MQTT protocol. This video explores how various data types are converted and which tools the United Manufacturing Hub uses for protocol conversion.

In this fifth part of the UNS Basics series, we explain how the unstructured data from all producers is further processed. The goal is to organize the data topics and message structures to match the semantic hierarchy. This step is called data contextualization or stream processing. We demonstrate the process with an example and list common tools used.

In this fourth part of the UNS basics series, we discuss which data is sent to the message broker. Given the relatively small volume of data in Operational Technology (OT), all the data is sent to the message broker regardless of the immediate presence of a consumer. This approach allows us to decide later which data to retain or discard.

In this third part of the UNS basics mini series, we discuss the definition of a semantic hierarchy for the UNS using the ISA-95 Part 2 standard. After a theoretical overview of the semantic hierarchy, a practical example in the UMH Management Console is explored.

In this second part of the UNS basics video series, we explain the key concepts behind Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), including the role of the MQTT protocol and MQTT brokers. Both Event-Driven architecture and MQTT are main components of the Unified Namespace.

In this first part of the UNS Basics mini series, we introduce the Automation Pyramid as a system to control the plant. We highlight the challenges related to data analytics and present the Unified Namespace as the solution. We also show how the Automation Pyramid connects to the Unified Namespace, according to the United Manufacturing Hub's philosophy. Finally, we briefly discuss where historical data from the Unified Namespace is saved.

Join Frank Thelen, Entrepreneur and Founder at Freigeist in a conversation with Bodo Körber, Partner at Bain & Company, and Alex, CEO of United Manufacturing Hub, as they discuss the state of digitalization in the manufacturing industry and how the UMH and Unified Namespace approach is revolutionizing it.

During the conversation they delve into the current landscape of manufacturing, examining analog processes in the industry with practical examples. Highlighting the potentials and benefits of UNS/the reference architecture, they draw comparisons with the conventional approach of ISA95 in the industry. Additionally, they provide insights into the collaboration between UMH and Bain & Company, and offer a glimpse into the future, emphasizing the indispensability of digitalization.

In this interview, Jeremy Theocharis, Co-founder and CTO of the @unitedmanufacturinghub interviews Joseph Dolivo, Co-founder and CTO of @4irsolutions. During the interview, they discuss a broad range of topics including the integration of #kubernetes and #manufacturing , the challenges of running Ignition on Kubernetes, the benefits of #opensource software, and the future of factory control.

Key takeaways from the interview:

- Kubernetes and manufacturing can be integrated to improve efficiency and quality.

- Running Ignition on Kubernetes can simplify deployment and management.

- Open source software offers flexibility and cost savings.

- The future of manufacturing includes a unified namespace and improved control systems.

- In the future, control systems may be virtualized and run on the same hardware as SCADA systems, HMI systems, and other manufacturing systems.
