What is Unified Namespace?
Definition of Unified Namespace
What is Unified Namespace (UNS)?
A Unified Namespace (UNS) is a single, consistent data structure or layer that integrates and organizes data from multiple sources in a way that makes it easy to access and manage. In industrial and IoT systems, a UNS acts as a bridge to connect disparate devices, sensors, and systems, allowing real-time data flow and streamlining communication across various platforms. By consolidating data under a unified structure, it simplifies data access, enhances scalability, and ensures smooth data integration across the entire system. UNS helps create a common language for all systems, making it easier to manage complex industrial operations and enabling more efficient decision-making.

What could you do with Intelligent Data Processing?
Just organizing, transforming and enriching your data into a Unified Namespace (UNS) will not get you very far. Unlike other solutions, Crosser makes it possible to combine an easy way to implement UNS with the ability to add intelligence to your data-in-motion architecture.
With real-time processing capabilities you can do more.
- Build data-driven automations
- Create new actionable insights and KPIs
- Trigger actions from the cloud to the edge
- Run Edge AI anywhere with ease
- Brake any data silos
Simplify your Data Stack
Implement UNS with or without a MQTT broker with Crosser All-in-One Platform
Most UNS architectures contain a separate MQTT broker for UNS which often adds unnecessary complexity and cost.
If you already have a centralized MQTT broker architecture, Crosser works perfectly in combination with it by preprocessing and preparing all the data in UNS format.
But, think twice to implement an MQTT broker if it’s not already in place. We believe there are many situations where the MQTT broker adds little-to-no additional value and that there is a better way with less complexity and much lower total cost.
For non-time sensitive data you can leverage your cloud or storage data layer as the single version of the truth with data preprocessed in Crosser according to your UNS requirements.
For time sensitive data you build real-time data Flows in Crosser and deliver the data to the receiving system directly, in MQTT format or in any format the receiving system prefers.
Crosser gives you a single Intelligent Edge Layer with all you need.
- Connect to over 800 systems and sources
- Data Transformation & Enrichment
- Intelligent Data Processing
- Hundreds of pre-built modules & templates
- Low-code Simplicity
- Built-in MQTT broker
