Seeing Unified Namespace in Action and How to Implement UNS

When it comes to industrial automation and data integration, Unified Namespace (UNS) has emerged as a game-changer. It simplifies data flow across multiple systems, making it easier to access and utilize real-time information. In a recent webinar with HighByte, a provider of Industrial DataOps software solutions, we delved into how UNS was leveraged to power NeoMatrix’s Bracketology 4.0, a dynamic system built for tracking the predictions for the NCAA Division I men’s basketball single-elimination tournament of 68 teams using industrial data tools.

By combining real-time monitoring, advanced analytics and advanced maintenance, APM shifts focus from reactive problem-solving to proactive performance optimization.

Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality products while maximizing production and profitability. However, issues like equipment downtime, inefficient processes and a lack of real-time visibility into asset health can all reduce productivity and increase costs.

This is where asset performance management (APM) comes in. Read More

Increasing the Value of OEE with Manufacturing Asset Performance Management (APM) 

Traditional Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) provides historical data on equipment performance, measuring factors such as availability, performance, and quality. While useful, OEE primarily offers a retrospective view of manufacturing operations. Alternatively, Manufacturing Asset Performance Management (APM) enhances OEE by providing real-time dashboards and insights, building on historical data with current operational visibility.

Advances in industrial automation technology have transformed manufacturing asset management, enabling data to be presented with greater context and actionable insights in order to meet high priority goals, such as cycle time reduction and throughput improvement. Read More
