Went down the rabbit hole based on our conversation yesterday and found myself reading up on the Unified Namespace thanks to @LMtx. Check out this article and let me know what you think. I'm connecting with some folks from HiveMQ and the guy pushing UNS, Walker Reynolds.

Good article and UNS has huge potential!!
HiveMQ have a webinar Dec 6 to describe it in greater detail and I suggest you follow Walker on the topic as he coined the term. https://www.linkedin.com/in/walkerdreynolds?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app
Here is a great explanation of UNS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB_9HIgSCWc

Hi @Kelly Watt Awesome stuff! It took me a while to grasp the concept. It's priceless to understand how the unified namespace is the path to IIOT. Loved the term Holy Grail of Automation where business operations are in a closed loop and AI can push suggestions, based on real-time data, down to any layer of the automation stack for optimization.
I've seen people mapping ERP to MES & SCADA for years now in the industry. All I can say is maintaining those integrations is a lot of work. It's better to adopt a new approach. I can't believe, it's already been 4-years since Walker Reynolds published this video. Looking forward to learning more on this topic. Thanks again for sharing!
Absolutely, the concept of a unified namespace in the context of IIoT is revolutionary, providing a seamless and interconnected environment for business operations. The notion of the "Holy Grail of Automation" encapsulates the ideal state where AI-driven insights can optimize operations at various levels.
Traditional integrations between ERP, MES, and SCADA systems have indeed been labor-intensive and complex. The unified namespace offers a refreshing perspective by simplifying and unifying data interactions across different layers of the automation stack, reducing the maintenance burden and fostering a more agile and responsive industrial ecosystem.
As we continue to delve into this transformative approach, what specific aspects or challenges in adopting the unified namespace for IIoT are you particularly interested in exploring or learning more about ?
