The United Manufacturing Hub (UMH) is a company that is dedicated to putting the most powerful IT and OT tools into the hands of engineers. Our mission is to make these tools freely available to users through open-source technology, with the goal of enabling every factory in the world to run on open-source software. But what exactly is open-source software? Simply put, it is software that is publicly accessible and allows users to inspect, modify, and enhance the source code. This is in contras

We are happy to announce the closed beta version of the Historian functionality for the United Manufacturing Hub! It meets the requirements of an OT engineer, but is still maintainable by the IT department.

Tulip and the United Manufacturing Hub have teamed up to bring frontline operations to Europe!

Our CTO, Jeremy Theocharis, talks in the "The Fourth Generation Podcast" about challenges in IT / OT integration, criteria for picking the core technologies for the UMH, Unified Namespace, OPC-UA and much more.

In the manufacturing industry today, there is a lot of talk about Industry 4.0 and the advantages of it. Our previous blogpost – Why Industry 4.0 is crucial today – goes into this more in detail. In this article, we take a look at why some companies still struggle with digitization despite the clear advantages it brings. The awareness of Industry 4.0 and the advantages that it brings has improved over the years. In a study done by BDO in 2019 (pre-COVID) in the UK, 46% of manufacturing firms sa

We are encountering the term Industry 4.0 more and more often these days. The concept behind it ensures that we as humans are connected to the systems we work with. But what exactly is Industry 4.0? And why is it crucial to adapt to this new, digitized environment? Let’s dive deeper into these questions. The status quo over time First, let’s have a quick look at the stages of development of industry in general over the past decades and centuries. Industry 1.0: Around 1800, there are first re

OSIsoft PI, Canary, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB and Ignition - the number of tools you can use to store your data from your machinery is endless. This article provides an overview of historians and open source time series databases.

The United Manufacturing Hub is happy to announce that we are now part of the Open Manufacturing Platform, a global alliance that drives innovation across the manufacturing community and value chain. Our vision is to drive industry forward with digital transformation. The United Manufacturing Hub is an Open-Source stack to help factories face Industry 4.0 and IIoT challenges. We look forward to sharing our solution and exchanging knowledge with like-minded companies. Open-source is the future

Working with data to manage and improve business processes is key to staying competitive in today's economy. This is why it is essential to make data from large scale industrial environments easily available for state of the art software solutions. Yet, consistently querying, receiving, and storing sensor data reliably is much more difficult than it should be. That’s why we are excited to announce the transition to our completely rewritten Sensorconnect microservice! Sensorconnect is our Open-
