A Complete Integrated UNS Infrastructure Solution

HighByte Intelligence Hub includes every component needed to construct a Unified Namespace (UNS), and every tool needed to get the most out of it.

Democratize access to industrial data across your enterprise.

The Unified Namespace (UNS) is one of the fastest-growing design patterns for integrating industrial data into a scalable and accessible structure that provides a real-time view of operations across the business. With HighByte Intelligence Hub, users can construct and operate a UNS, delivering a consolidated, abstracted structure that provides all business applications with consistent, real-time industrial data through a single application.

The Intelligence Hub integrates the three key components necessary to create and fully leverage the UNS architectural pattern. With brokering capabilities from the embedded MQTT Broker, topic namespace and payload visibility from the UNS Client, and abstraction to define and govern the namespace, the Intelligence Hub is a complete UNS infrastructure solution.
MQTT Broker

MQTT Broker

Enable the embedded MQTT broker in HighByte Intelligence Hub to instantly transform it into a fully-fledged MQTT broker. Publish and subscribe from connections within the hub, as well as external MQTT clients. Broker, examine, and interpret all message payloads natively, whether they are encoded in JSON or Sparkplug.

UNS Client

UNS Client

The UNS Client is an embedded MQTT client that allows users to visually discover topic and payload content within an MQTT broker. Leveraging the MQTT connections native to the Intelligence Hub, the UNS Client enables visualization and interrogation of the Unified Namespace, no external testing application needed.

Getting Started KB

Abstraction

Use the core data engineering capabilities of the Intelligence Hub to standardize datasets to fit the semantic requirements outlined by the UNS. Recontextualize requested data on behalf of the subscribed system to ensure easy consumption. Order datasets, apply context that adds logical names and units of measure, and combine data from multiple sources into complex payloads.

Life science manufacturers are trying to become more agile and use information more effectively to drive their businesses. Yet the pressures in life science manufacturing are unique. Products have a significant impact on human life, tolerances are tight, regulatory requirements are increasing, and there is a high cost of failure.
HighByte + Ignition: Two powerful solutions in your modern data architecture
by John Harrington
I am often asked why a company needs HighByte Intelligence Hub if they already have Ignition. Adding another software solution adds cost, requires training and maintenance, and can introduce latency and failure points into the system. The quick answer: Ignition and HighByte Intelligence Hub were designed to solve very different problems for manufacturing. When paired, they provide a robust approach to industrial data access and management to meet manufacturing’s evolving digital needs.
Hannover Messe 2024, Metcalfe’s Law, and more
by Torey Penrod-Cambra
Hannover Messe 2024 is just around the corner with the exhibit floor opening Monday, April 22 in Hannover, Germany. If you’ve never attended, Hannover Messe may truly be the world's leading trade fair for industrial technology, hosting more than 4,000 exhibitors and 130,000 on-site attendees each year. In this post, I’ll share a preview of what you can expect to see and hear from HighByte at the fair, including software demonstrations, product news, theatre presentations, and more.
Put your UNS data to work with HighByte Intelligence Hub
by Jeffrey Schroeder
One of the most common concerns I hear regarding the Unified Namespace (UNS) is the architecture lacks the versatility needed to address diverse downstream data consumers. Suppose quality, maintenance, and process engineers are all doing their part to support a production line. Quality teams need inspection results, maintenance teams need asset performance data, and process engineers need lot and process parameters. The teams need data sets that both overlap and differ by use case. These ...
Data models: The key to scaling your unified namespace
by John Harrington
In an earlier blog, “The power of payloads in your unified namespace,” I discussed the use of complex payloads combining multiple unified namespace (UNS) data streams to make the architecture more responsive to the diverse needs of consuming personas and systems. In this post, I want to show what these complex payloads might look like, how data models can enable a UNS architecture, and how easily HighByte Intelligence Hub can provide consuming systems with the necessary data—when and how it’s ...
Intelligence Hub version 3.2: A complete UNS and data engineering toolset
by Jeffrey Schroeder
For quite some time, people have been asking us how the Intelligence Hub relates to a Unified Namespace (UNS). Is it a specific part of a UNS architecture, a platform by which one might build a UNS, or a UNS architecture itself? Over time, our answers have developed alongside the capabilities of the Intelligence Hub. From the beginning, the Intelligence Hub could connect to third-party MQTT brokers as well as model the data going in and out of them. And recently, we added an embedded MQTT ...
