Today I want to walk you through the driving principles of the Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture.
The UNS concept can be boiled down to 3 key principles.
Apply these effectively and you get a potent combination for getting value from IIoT data at scale.
Principle #1: Edge Driven & Domain Ownership
Key Idea: Shift data management to the source or ‘edge’ of the network. And push data from its source at the edge into a common data infrastructure, only when changes are detected (Report-by-Exception).
Benefits:
​
​Principle #2: Open Architecture and Standard Data Infrastructure
Key Idea: Establish a data infrastructure that supports open architecture and standardized information exchange.Approach: Utilize a “Publish-Subscribe” model for data integration
Benefits:
​
​Principle #3: Federated Data GovernanceFocus: Manage and govern data across different domains to ensure consistency in data integrity, interoperability, accessibility, security, and privacy.
Strategy: Balance universal standards with the specific governance needs of different domains.
Outcomes:
​
These principles collectively ensure a robust, flexible, and efficient approach to IIoT data management, crucial for modern enterprise-scale IIoT applications.
Have a great day, and see you next week.
