Problem
Many manufacturing facilities struggle with fragmented data across disparate machines, sensors, and IT systems, hindering real-time visibility and efficient data utilization. Integrating Operational Technology (OT) with Information Technology (IT) is complex and costly, often requiring extensive custom development and proprietary software. This lack of unified data access limits the ability to optimize production processes, improve asset performance, and reduce operational expenses.
Solution
United Manufacturing Hub (UMH) offers an IT/OT integration platform that establishes a Unified Namespace, providing a single point of access for real-time data from factory machines, sensors, and systems. By leveraging open-source components and cloud-native technologies, UMH simplifies the integration process, reduces software costs, and enhances data accessibility. The platform enables manufacturers to connect their entire factory to IT applications, facilitating use cases such as energy management, condition monitoring, and digital shadow creation. UMH's architecture promotes scalability and resilience, allowing manufacturers to gain a clear understanding and control over their IT and OT systems.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturing companies seeking to improve production transparency, optimize asset productivity, and reduce software costs through IT/OT integration.
