Unified Namespace Solutions (UNS)
Build the Real-Time Digital Plant: Unified Architecture That Works
What Is Unified Namespace?
A Unified Namespace (UNS) is a modern industrial data architecture that connects every machine, system, and application into a single, contextualized layer of real-time information. The digital backbone allows your systems to talk to each other in real time. Instead of passing data through manual exports or fragile integrations, UNS structures your operational data into a single, contextualized stream.
Every system, MES, SCADA, LIMS, sensors, and cloud—publishes and subscribes to the same live data layer.
Instead of duplicating data or stitching together custom integrations, UNS acts as a central nervous system—built on event-driven messaging (like MQTT or Kafka)—where all systems publish and subscribe to live data streams in a structured, scalable format.
Think:
- No more manual exports
- No more ‘data spaghetti’
- No more waiting hours (or days) for cross-system visibility
Just real-time context for your operations, quality, and decisions.
The result: one source of truth that drives automation, compliance, and AI-readiness.
Why This Architecture Matters
- Break Down Silos: Replace fragmented data streams with a single, contextualized layer connecting OT and IT systems—from sensors to SCADA, MES to cloud.
- Real-Time Operational Visibility: Make decisions based on what’s happening now—not what happened last week.
- AI & Predictive Analytics: Feed clean, contextualized, real-time data into AI/ML systems for smarter predictions, faster tech transfer, and better yield.
- Event-Driven Automation: Enable workflows that respond instantly, adjusting parameters, alerting operators, and triggering quality checks automatically.
- Built-In Compliance & Traceability: Structured data that supports 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP5, and Annex 11—without the audit scramble.

You’re Not Alone: Industry Voices from PharmaMES 2025
At PharmaMES 2025, biomanufacturing leaders shared a common theme: the digital future hinges on architecture—not more disconnected tools.
“We don’t need more point solutions. We need an architecture that brings our systems together in real-time, so we can act—not just analyze.”
Zaether’s UNS-based architecture is built for that exact purpose. It’s how your digital plant becomes a connected, compliant, intelligent operation.
