Factry Industry Insights #3 | Unified Namespace | Jeroen Coussement

In this episode, Jeroen Coussement unpacks the concept of the Unified Namespace (UNS) — a hot topic in industrial automation. Rather than just explaining buzzwords, he addresses the practical question: What makes a UNS actually useful in a factory?He explains that a true UNS is only as good as the quality and structure of the data within it. That’s where Factry Historian fits in — providing structured, contextual, timestamped signals that plug cleanly into MQTT-based UNS architectures. Jeroen also touches on the cultural and organizational shifts required: from centralized ownership of data to shared responsibility across teams.For manufacturers exploring UNS, this video brings a grounded take — showing how to move from theory to usable infrastructure.
