Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) Partner Program

Integration of 60 factory systems in 60 minutes? This can be achieved by implementing an Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) at the interface between OT and IT systems. Save your place in our Free Trial Program now – and see for yourself.

The solution to the data problem in the industry.

Heterogeneity

A heterogeneous OT/IT system landscape slows down your ambitions? Seamlessly connect all systems with over 200 i-flow connectors.

Complexity

Why waste resources on complex data integration? Focus on the essentials with i-flow’s innovative low-code technology.

Scalability

No more individual integration projects! With i-flow, you now receive clean factory data via a single, event-based interface.

"i-flow's data hub allows anyone to work with factory data while ensuring control over access to critical resources."

Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS)

Unify the heterogeneity of your industrial data landscape in one central location – one interface, unlimited possibilities.

i-flow solves your challenges when integrating OT & IT systems.

Unified

Interoperability thanks to unified data in a central MQTT broker - independent of the source protocol.

Event-based

Efficient real-time communication between OT and IT systems using MQTT publish / subscribe.

Scalable

Flexible and scalable, thanks to innovative OT / IT system integration based on an MQTT broker.

Customer Success

400 millionen productive
i-flow operations per day

All that matters to us is the reliable processing of data in critical production environments. 400 million daily i-flow operations not only demonstrate the scalability and robustness of the i-flow software but also the trust that companies place in our solution.

Whether it’s PLC, sensor, or ERP data, i-flow forms the basis for a modern shop floor architecture in manufacturing companies.

FAQs

Here you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

i-flow’s Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) provides a single interface to clean factory data with three major advantages:

  1. Become Unified: Improve data accessibility and interoperablility by sharing unified data in a central MQTT broker independent of source protocol.
  2. Become Event-Driven: Enable efficient real-time communication between your OT & IT systems with MQTT publish / subscribe.
  3. Become Scalable: Dramatically reduce the number of integrations to enable a scalable architecture that can adapt to changing requirements.

The following companies benefit from using the i-flow software:

  • Innovative medium-sized and large companies from the manufacturing industry
  • Companies that invest in their data infrastructure to gain a competitive advantage and become industry champions 
  • Companies with one or more brownfield or greenfield sites worldwide
  • Companies looking for a standardized solution for system and data integration to seamlessly integrate IT and OT
  • Decision-makers who want to decide in real time and know exactly which data is crucial for their success
  • Users who not only appreciate low-code software, but also the advantages of maximum intuitive user guidance to develop and roll out use-cases faster.

With the i-flow software you can connect a variety of OT/IT systems. You can find a comprehensive list here.

An Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) describes the concept of a “publish once, distribute everywhere” architecture. Datenproduzenten (z.B. Maschinen) publizieren Daten einmalig (“publish once”) über eine einheitliche Struktur in einem zentralen Message Broker. From there, the data can be subscribed to by a large number of data consumers (“distribute everywhere”).. This architecture concept therefore differs from the traditional automation pyramid, in which systems are individually integrated with all other systems on the neighboring levels of the automation pyramid (point-to-point integration).

In contrast to the classic automation pyramid, the UNS architecture leads to greater flexibility and scalability in your system architecture. Further information and the role played by the i-flow software can be found here.

We are giving a limited number of Free Trial Partners the opportunity to test the i-flow software without any obligation and experience the following benefits for themselves:

  1. Innovative technology: Our Industrial Unified Namespace offers a revolutionary approach to the seamless integration of OT and IT systems.

  2. Ease of use: Our integration software is recognized across the industry as the easiest to use solution, saving time and resources.

  3. Scalability: We understand the needs of manufacturing companies and offer a scalable solution that can grow with your business.
