One live, organised address for every reading in your plant.
A Unified Namespace (UNS) is a single place where every machine reading lives, named in a way anyone can understand: company, plant, line, machine, sensor. Nisthora builds and runs it for you.
Every reading has a clear name.
prishora/acme-components/pune-press-shop/press-line-1/press-04/stroke-count
Example address for illustration. Every address has the same six levels, so a rule like "everything in this plant" always means the same thing.
What a Unified Namespace gives you.
The whole plant, at once
The latest value of every reading is kept ready. A new screen or system that connects gets the whole plant straight away.
Self-describing
Each reading carries its value, unit, quality and time. Nobody needs a spreadsheet to decode it.
No point-to-point wiring
Systems read from the namespace instead of from each machine. Add a new consumer without touching the PLCs.
Stored exactly once
Live data comes from the namespace; history comes from the time-series database. Nothing missed, nothing doubled.
Your company only
A company's login can read only its own part of the namespace. Every other request is refused.
Edge devices write, not read
An edge device may only publish readings for its own machines. It cannot read anyone else's.
Report by exception
Readings that have not changed are not repeated every second, so the network stays quiet.
Standard MQTT
The namespace runs on MQTT, the most common industrial messaging standard, so your other tools can connect.
Who may read and write.
| Who | May publish (write) | May subscribe (read) |
|---|---|---|
| Edge device | Only the readings for machines its own sensors are on | Nothing |
| Your company's systems | Nothing | Only your own company's part of the namespace |
| Nisthora's ingest service | The namespace | Raw readings from edge devices |
| Anyone else | Nothing | Nothing (the default is deny) |
