Factory data challenges persist despite Unified Namespace

This article discusses the challenges of extracting actionable insights from factory sensor data, even with the implementation of a Unified Namespace (UNS). While UNS helps in real-time data sharing, it leaves a gap in making this data easily usable for answering critical business questions. The piece details the origin of factory data from PLCs and sensors, the ISA-95 model layers, and the complexities introduced by various industrial protocols like Modbus and OPC UA. It highlights the 'spaghetti problem' of point-to-point integrations in traditional factories, which creates fragility and difficulty in scaling data infrastructure. AI

IMPACT Highlights data integration challenges that impact the effectiveness of AI applications in industrial settings.
