18 - How UNS Transforms IIoT with Dylan DuFresne and Arlen Nipper
About this episode
Join us for a chat with IIoT experts Dylan Dufresne and Arlen Nipper as they break down the nuts and bolts of the Unified Namespace (UNS). We discuss the tricky balance of merging IT and OT, the real heroes (spoiler alert: it’s all about the people and processes), and what the future holds for data management in the industrial world.
With some eye-opening stories and hands-on tips, you’ll get a clearer picture of how to start and succeed with your own UNS projects. From edge computing to cloud storage, Dylan and Arlen walk us through the essentials of making digital transformation work in a real-world setting.
