Unified Namespace for Manufacturing

Integrate production data once, use it everywhere

Rely on a Unified Namespace to centrally provide production data—on the sovereign STACKIT Cloud. Supply your manufacturing teams with reusable real-time data instead of integrations you’ve paid for multiple times.

Challenge: Fragmented OT landscapes and isolated data silos

Multiple integration efforts often arise because root causes in the OT and data landscape are not addressed. The following factors, in particular, hinder scalable access to production data:

Fragmented OT landscape

Many companies have legacy, highly fragmented OT environments that are interconnected through numerous custom integrations.

Diversity of vendors and protocols

Production systems from different manufacturers use different technologies and communication protocols, which require custom integration solutions.

Data silos with inconsistent structures

Data is often stored in separate systems with inconsistent naming conventions and no common structure.

Batch data instead of real-time

Manually retrieved batch data dominates, while real-time, event-driven data streams are lacking for operational use cases.

Measurable Value: Faster Use Cases, Lower Infrastructure Costs

Use your Unified Namespace as a lever for speed and efficiency. Accelerate the implementation of new use cases, standardize your data foundation, and significantly reduce infrastructure costs per project.

Approximately 20% faster deployment: Shorten the rollout of new production initiatives and use cases based on the unified namespace by about one-fifth.
Standardized data foundation: Accelerate your time-to-value with a unified, reusable data foundation for all data-driven applications.
From 80 to 85% to about 20% infrastructure costs: Significantly reduce the infrastructure cost per use case by establishing a reusable architecture.
Scalable, sovereign IT-OT architecture: Create an architectural foundation that grows with your requirements while ensuring data sovereignty.

Solution: Unified Namespace with Cybus on STACKIT

The solution combines industrial connectivity and DataOps with a structured namespace architecture and real-time processing on the sovereign STACKIT infrastructure. A reusable, event-driven data foundation forms the basis for data and AI projects and makes integrations and data models available for additional use cases. Machines and systems are connected via more than a hundred supported device models and OT protocols, while DataOps functions support the collection, processing, and contextualization of production data for departments such as production, quality, and maintenance.

The Unified Namespace provides a structured, event-driven data architecture for this purpose; CybusMQ and the Rule Engine form the real-time layer for the automated processing of events on the shop floor.

Competitive Advantage: Sovereign Data Architecture for All Plants

Combine the orchestration power of Cybus with STACKIT’s secure European infrastructure. This gives you a head start in data sovereignty and scalability and strengthens your position in four key areas:

Sovereign European Cloud

Rely on EU data sovereignty and high security standards as the foundation for your unified namespace.

Security and NIS2 Readiness

Meet current and future regulatory requirements with a cloud infrastructure designed for security and compliance.

Multi-site capability

Scale the unified namespace and connected use cases from a single plant to multiple locations without multiplying the integration effort.

Faster Innovation on the Shop Floor

Roll out new, data-driven applications faster because connectivity and data architecture are already centrally available.

Foundation: Industrial Data Orchestration on STACKIT Cloud

Rely on a seamless interplay of orchestration and infrastructure. Based on Cybus and the robust STACKIT Cloud, four technical building blocks form the foundation of your solution.
