About this course

Unlock the Power of the Unified Namespace

Led by renowned Industry 4.0 architect Walker Reynolds, this workshop delivers practical skills and technical frameworks needed to implement the Unified Namespace (UNS) in your facility. Whether you're new to the concept or ready to move from proof-of-concept to production, this course provides the blueprint.


What You'll Learn

  • Building a Unified Namespace: Understand what a UNS is, why it's foundational to smart manufacturing, and how to architect one for your organization.

  • Tools and Technologies: Learn how to use MQTT, Sparkplug B, PLCs, OPC UA, and brokers like Mosquitto, Ignition, and HiveMQ to build your real-time data infrastructure.

  • Systems Integration: Align ERP, MES, SCADA, and Edge/Cloud systems with your UNS to unlock true interoperability.

  • Scaling Across the Enterprise: Structure your namespace to grow from line to site to global deployment, with role-based access, tagging, and source-of-truth modeling.
