How To Standardize Data Models For The Unified Namespace

The Unified Namespace provides contextual and unified access to your data. But it doesn’t define what the data should look like.

And that’s a problem.

Why?

Because it means systems are free to publish whatever they want, which leads to data inconsistencies.

Some organizations choose to build proprietary models to fix this.
And that’s perfectly valid if it serves a specific business goal.

But when your goal is interoperability, scalability, and ecosystem collaboration, standardization offers a better path forward.

One that’s open, consistent, and widely adoptable.

This is where CESMII’s Smart Manufacturing Profiles come in.

They offer standardized, open data models built on the OPC UA Information Model to ensure consistency across systems.
