𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗢-𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡𝗦 We have just released SensorConnect in the free community edition of Management Console and benthos-umh to connect ifm IO-Link masters with the UNS. With SensorConnect you can, retrofit your old machines, add extra sensors to hybrid setups, and gain instant visibility over machine conditions and processes. Key features: - Supports ifm IO-Link Masters like the AL1350 - Works with all IO-Link devices offering process input data - Converts hex-encoded sensor data into human-readable JSON - Sensor data accessible via the Tag Browser for real-time monitoring, storage, and analysis 👉 Read more about the feature here: https://lnkd.in/eZ95K_Yv #IIoT #Industry40 #UNS #IOLink #SmartFactory #UnifiedNamespace #ITOT

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 🧬 In the latest episode of The Connected Factory podcast, Jan Wokittel highlights the key enablers for #UNS in the Pharmaceutical Industry. 1️⃣ Open Interfaces: Whether at the process equipment level, building infrastructure, or lab systems, open interfaces allow seamless communication across different levels. This interconnection is crucial for new business cases and digital solutions. 2️⃣ Integration Across Levels: The future of production isn’t just about isolated lines; from robots to lab data and building infrastructure, everything is merging. The need for open interfaces extends across all these domains to ensure smooth connectivity. 3️⃣ Digital Twin: By leveraging digital twins, companies can enable process level simulation, building level visualization, and digitize paper-based processes. This leads to better interconnection of expert systems and improved efficiency. 👉 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eZ-7XaZQ #Pharma #DigitalTransformation #UnifiedNamespace #Industry40 #Manufacturing #IoT #Pharmaceuticals #Podcast #IIOT Alexander Krüger

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘃𝘀 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 🤔 We often hear this debate, and in our latest videos, Jeremy breaks down the key points to help you understand better. Whether you’re considering which to use or rethinking your setup, the videos will provide clarity on the benefits and limitations of both. In the videos, we cover: - 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Are Historians really more reliable, or do Open-source databases offer a better solution? - 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Understanding lossy vs. lossless compression and why it matters. - 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝘀: Where Historians excel and can UNS replace them in modern setups? 👇 Link for the videos in the comments. #Historians #OpenSourceDatabases #IndustrialIoT #ITOT #UnifiedNamespace #IIOT #UNS #Databases

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡𝗦 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗘𝗦? 🤔 I often hear this question from our customers and in the manufacturing community. At first, this sounds counterintuitive - how could an event-driven architecture replace an application suite? But I get where this is coming from. The #MES has been THE place to integrate data on the shop floor for many years, and the #UNS challenges this MES-centric approach and pushes it from infrastructure into the application category. In the video, I share my 2 cents on that - I hope you enjoy it and looking forward to the controversial discussions!

📊 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗨𝗡𝗦 + 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗗𝗕: 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? In this video with Jeremy, we break down what #Historians are great at—while addressing common struggles with #OpenSource databases: 1️⃣ No built-in way to push data 2️⃣ Lack of visualization tools 3️⃣ No data modeling capabilities However, Unified Namespace (UNS) might be the better alternative, offering flexibility with tools like Node-RED, Benthos-UMH, and MQTT. 🚀 While visualization in UNS is still growing, Grafana and Tableau are leading the way, and its powerful data modeling options are a game changer. 💡 🎥 Watch the full video to learn more: https://lnkd.in/e2h9aAkE #manufacturing #automation #data #UNS #IIoT #shopfloor #factory #NodeRED #MQTT #Grafana #innovation

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 🏭 In this video with Jeremy, we explore three common architecture approaches for #connecting #factory systems and the trade-offs that come with each approach. In the video, we cover: ✅ Dataflow through databases — simple but lacks real-time capabilities.  ✅ Dataflow through service calls — real-time but can get messy fast.  ✅ Dataflow through asynchronous message passing — more complex, but ideal for long-term flexibility and scalability. 👉 Watch the full video to learn more about the different approaches, advantages and disadvantages of each approach and why choosing the right architecture is important: https://lnkd.in/eHMTqeqk #SmartManufacturing #FactoryIntegration #DataArchitecture #Industry40 #ManufacturingTechnology #UnifiedNamespace #MQTT
