Unified Namespaces (UNS) Architecture | 2025 Industrial Intelligence Summit

Discover how a Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture transforms industrial data management and accelerates digital transformation. In this technical session from the AVEVA Industrial Intelligence Summit, Product Manager Ahmed explains the key concepts behind UNS—including how it unifies IT and OT systems, eliminates data silos, and creates a single source of truth for your entire enterprise. Learn how AVEVA Operations Control, System Platform, and MQTT can enable a UNS to deliver scalable, structured, and AI-ready data models. The session also covers the role of ISA-95 semantic hierarchies, MQTT and OPC UA brokers, and how consistent naming conventions simplify replication, improve interoperability, and prepare your organization for predictive analytics and machine learning.
