Unified Namespace with MQTT provides a scalable, event-driven foundation for industrial OT/IT data integration.
This article explains proven MQTT patterns, topic design, state management, and common pitfalls when building a production-ready UNS.

What is Unified Name Spac and why is it quickly becoming the “central nervous system” of modern manufacturing?

If your IT and OT worlds are still tied together with brittle point-to-point integrations, siloed data, and reports that are always a step behind, it’s time for a different approach. In this practical guide, we explain What is Unified Name Space, how it differs from the Purdue model, and how to design a scalable, real-time data layer using a consistent hierarchy, naming conventions, and governance. You’ll also learn the core implementation steps with MQTT/Sparkplug B or OPC UA—so every system can publish and subscribe to the same contextual, live source of truth.

The aerospace and defense industry faces increasing pressure for innovation, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms such as PTC Windchill have become the backbone for managing complex engineering data, streamlining product development cycles, and ensuring traceability for defense organizations and aerospace manufacturers. This whitepaper explores how data management, configuration management, and […]

Industrial data is growing faster than most manufacturers can process — yet much of its potential remains locked inside disconnected systems, legacy integrations, and outdated architectures. As a result, critical insights arrive too late, operational decisions lose accuracy, and digital initiatives struggle to scale. This article explains why traditional data management can no longer support modern industrial needs and how a Unified Namespace approach helps eliminate silos, unify data flows, and create the real-time foundation required for Industry 4.0, advanced analytics, OEE optimization, and energy efficiency.

Choosing the right OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) system is crucial for optimizing production performance. In this article, we highlight the key factors to consider when selecting an OEE system to effectively monitor machine efficiency, minimize downtime, and improve production quality. Learn how to choose a system that supports your factory’s growth and delivers real, measurable benefits.

Global food and beverage manufacturers face constant pressure to innovate faster, maintain quality, and streamline production. This case study shows how one of the world’s largest producers modernized recipe management across its European plants using a Unified Namespace (UNS) and Industrial IoT platform — turning fragmented data into a single, reliable source of truth. The result? Real-time collaboration, smarter operations, and readiness for AI-driven manufacturing.

The question is no longer whether AI is being used in software engineering, but whether it’s actually making developers and organizations more productive?

At Transition Technologies PSC, we are passionate about helping companies navigate their digital transformation journeys. Our focus extends beyond efficiency and productivity – we empower organizations to innovate responsibly, embedding sustainability into the very foundation of product engineering. By leveraging product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, digital twins, and integrated design tools, we support companies in […]

DevOps, AI, and DORA Metrics are redefining how organizations deliver software. Learn how the four DORA metrics improve software delivery performance, boost productivity of engineering teams, and drive business value.

In today’s digital world, the term “enterprise-grade software” is a buzzword that’s thrown around without a clear understanding of what it means. While many organizations recognize the importance of robust software for their business, distinguishing between standard software and truly enterprise-grade solutions is a challenge.

The modern defense industry relies on precision, reliability, and compliance with strict regulations. Managing the configuration of defense products is key to meeting contract requirements and ensuring the highest quality of delivered systems. In this context, product lifecycle management (PLM) systems play an increasingly important role by supporting the design, production, and maintenance processes of […]

Modern IT systems are becoming increasingly complex, while software delivery cycles are getting shorter. In this environment, traditional manual testing is no longer sufficient. The key to ensuring high quality? Automated application testing integrated with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). What does ALM offer? ALM is a set of processes, automation tools, and practices that help […]
