We have released SensorConnect as a feature in the free community edition of our Management Console and benthos-umh. This allows you to connect to ifm IO-Link Masters with the Unified Namespace (UNS) and the UMH.

In this inaugural episode of The Connected Factory podcast, host, Alexander, and Jan discuss the challenges and opportunities of implementing a Unified Namespace (UNS) in the pharmaceutical industry—a highly regulated sector where innovation must balance with compliance.

On October 17, 2024, from 5:40 PM to 6:00 PM (German Time), our Management Console was inaccessible to users due to an internal networking issue at our hosting provider, fly.io.

The MES has been THE place to integrate data on the shop floor for many years, and the UNS challenges this MES-centric approach and pushes it from infrastructure into the application category. Watch this video to know about Alex view.

Why We Recommend Hetzner to Try Out the UMH: it is at least 4x–10x less expensive than AWS and Azure for similar VM instances.

Resolve the “failed to find memory cgroup (v2)” error when running UMH Lite in Docker on a Raspberry Pi. This step-by-step guide covers enabling memory cgroups, configuring Docker-in-Docker and K3s within Docker, and optimizing resource management.

Traditional Historians excel at providing shop floor insights, but modern architectures like UNS offer more flexibility. With protocol converters, real-time data, and tools like Node-RED and Grafana, UNS can now effectively replace most Historian features.

At UMH, we’re building an integrated and user-centric solution for industrial IoT. In this article, we explore the shortcomings of typical manufacturing software and share how our unique approach addresses these challenges.

Looking to connect your factory systems efficiently? Discover three proven approaches—using databases, direct service calls, or message brokers. Learn which method suits your setup best and why a UNS might be the best choice.
