What is a Unified Namespace (Q&A with Zack Scriven)

Walker Reynolds and Zack Scriven have an in-depth Q&A style discussion about the Unified Namespace that we talk about on our channel and some of the characteristics you need to be thinking about as you build out your Industry 4.0 and IIoT architecture. As always please leave your questions in the comments for us to get to in future videos.

Excellent explanation really solidified the unified namespace for me.

[@4.0Solutions]

Thank you Josh, we're glad this could help.

Great video guys! The gift that keeps on giving... This was shot over 2 years ago and it is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@4.0Solutions]

Thanks, Anibal!

I liked this video the 1st time I saw it (a year ago). I found it again today and like it WAY MORE! Because I have learned more and can understand the brilliance it contains even more. {I'll watch it again in 90 days [outlook reminder]}

[@4.0Solutions]

That's great to hear Dan! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks again!

Missed your baseball cap Zack...
Another good video. Thanks guys.

[@4.0Solutions]

Lol. It would have had backwards text. 🤷‍♂️ I figured it would be more distracting. But maybe me without the hat is actually more distracting. 😂

[@linkedinall-staracademy608]

Excellent content!

[@4.0Solutions]

Why thank you!

[@nigelflynn3466]

Great video, thanks for Sharing. Correct me if I am wrong but currently the following systems you mentioned do not natively talk MQTT (yet); Tableau and Power BI. Could you fill in the gaps here as to how you enable these systems to access data from the namespace you outlined?

[@4.0Solutions]

Great question. We added this to the video suggestions. (perhaps Microsoft wants you to use Azure IoT Hub...) This is the Solution Centric Aka Rockwell aproach.

[@robrouwer]

Can you explain in another video how to implement IEC 81346 in the unified namespace? Which identifier is used in the namespace? Or no one and you add this yourself?

[@4.0Solutions]

Added this to our video topics!

[@allenng8581]

Let me clarify. So do u have a registry that keeps track of all the namespaces? Also, with this outcome of every device and solution being consumer and producer of data, is it right to say that you are having a distributed architecture of data? And if so, where and what format are you storing all this distributed timeseries data? Is it going to be relational or nonrelational, etc? Also with a distributed architecture of data, how do u overcome determinism?

[@4.0Solutions]

You are correct. Take a look at this video for more information on the historian and UNS... ua-cam.com/video/tjmRkF1nWEQ/v-deo.html

What is the difference between Unified Namespace and Data Lake ?

[@cjacobs4u]

I like this, I get the concept, I see the benefit... But what is the namespace..like physically? Is it a database or a program? If it holds all this data is it many things?

[@4.0Solutions]

The Unified Namespace is the data infrastructure you build to share data with contextual meaning between systems.

[@ZackScriven]

First. 😎

[@4.0Solutions]

Second!
