The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 are transforming the way we connect, monitor, and control industrial systems and devices. However, one of the biggest challenges in this domain is the lack of interoperability and standardisation among different protocols, data formats and platforms. This leads to data silos, inefficiencies and increased complexity. To overcome this challenge, a new concept called Unified Namespace (UNS) has emerged as an interesting next step in the standardisation of IIoT and Industry 4.0.
