Classic IT/OT integration consists of many point-to-point connections. A UNS decouples your systems and still brings their data together, across PLCs and ERP systems alike.
Publish. Every source publishes once, every application subscribes via pub/sub.
Name. One semantic naming convention across site, line and machine, enterprise-wide.
Enrich. Give your data context, add metadata, link documents to your assets.
Store. Real-time and historical data in the same structure.
Reuse. Make your data AI-ready, so analytics and AI run on it directly.
That is how your factory gets a single source of truth.
