The first step towards Industry 4.0 is implementing a Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture, which is a software solution that acts as a centralized hierarchical repository of data, information, and context. Using a PUB/SUB model, a UNS enables data connectivity, bringing benefits to the Life Science industry, where regulatory requirements for traceability and context are critical.

The second paper in the Skellig Industry 4.0 series takes aclose look at the concept of the UNS and how leveragingits architecture can accelerate the benefits of Industry4.0 solutions for Life Sciences. Then it elaborates on thearchitecture used to create a UNS.
