Pillar 1: Unified Namespace (UNS)

Purpose

The Unified Namespace (UNS) is your solution's data foundation - a single source of truth for all real-time and configuration data.

What to Build

Tag Structure 

Asset Tree

UserTypes

  • Define naming conventions

  • Create tag hierarchy

  • Set data types and ranges

  • Configure engineering units

  • Mirror physical/logical structure -

  • Organize by area/process/equipment -

  • Create navigable hierarchy -

  • Enable asset-based navigation

  • Create equipment templates

  • Define standard objects

  • Build reusable components

  • Ensure consistency

Data Explorer 

The DataExplorer tool streamlines UNS creation by enabling:

  • Discovery - Browse MQTT brokers, OPC servers, PLCs, and SQL databases
  • Import - Create tags and templates directly from discovered structures
  • Validate - Test connections before adding to production

This tool reduces manual configuration time by 50-70% when building your tag structure during the Foundation phase.
