The Unified Namespace (UNS) enables real-time data flow and simplicity, but lacks historical data access and transformation capabilities. The Unified Analytics Framework (UAF) complements UNS, providing a platform for governed data transformation, historical insights, and seamless integration with real-time architectures.
Flow Software replaces the functionality of AVEVA PI Asset Framework while reducing costs, unlocking historian flexibility, and empowering OT teams to build analytics without specialized expertise—enabling businesses to focus on solving real problems, not managing infrastructure.
Scalable information management in manufacturing requires a foundational approach to integration, robust data governance, and adoption of flexible, platform-agnostic architectures - these key points will ensure your strategy is successful.
