What is UNS?

A Unified Namespace (UNS) is an architecture that establishes a single point of truth for your organisation. It replaces the traditional one-to-one connections between systems with one central hub through which all smart devices communicate using the same language and naming conventions.

What are the benefits of UNS?

Using a Unified Namespace will result in:

• Simplified integrations with reduced complexity and facilitated communication.
• Reduced cost, both in upfront development and ongoing maintenance.
• Flexibility with a platform that quickly responds to changes in demands.
• Scalability thanks to seamless onboarding of new devices and systems.
• Transparency: naming conventions ensure that sensors are easy to identify.
