A Complete Integrated UNS Infrastructure Solution

HighByte Intelligence Hub includes every component needed to construct a Unified Namespace (UNS), and every tool needed to get the most out of it.

Democratize access to industrial data across your enterprise.

The Unified Namespace (UNS) is one of the fastest-growing design patterns for integrating industrial data into a scalable and accessible structure that provides a real-time view of operations across the business. With HighByte Intelligence Hub, users can construct and operate a UNS, delivering a consolidated, abstracted structure that provides all business applications with consistent, real-time industrial data through a single application.

The Intelligence Hub integrates the three key components necessary to create and fully leverage the UNS architectural pattern. With brokering capabilities from the embedded MQTT Broker, hierarchy and payload visibility from the UNS Client, and the Namespaces module to design and govern topic namespaces, the Intelligence Hub is a complete UNS infrastructure solution.
MQTT Broker

MQTT Broker

Enable the embedded MQTT broker in HighByte Intelligence Hub to instantly transform it into a fully-fledged MQTT broker. Publish and subscribe from connections within the hub, as well as external MQTT clients. Broker, examine, and interpret all message payloads natively, whether they are encoded in JSON or Sparkplug.

UNS Client

UNS Client

The UNS Client is an embedded MQTT client that allows users to visually discover topic and payload content within an MQTT broker. Leveraging the MQTT connections native to the Intelligence Hub, the UNS Client enables visualization and interrogation of the Unified Namespace, no external testing application needed.

Abstraction that powers a versatile UNS architecture

Design and govern hierarchical structures and organize datasets with Namespaces in the Intelligence Hub. Whereas maintaining a UNS typically requires publishing and subscribing to a broker to understand its structure, Namespaces can be configured in the Intelligence Hub and used for advanced pipeline processing.

"HighByte Intelligence Hub is more than a ‘UNS-in-a-box.’ The solution is a partner in the digital transformation journey, guiding businesses to initiate with clarity, think expansively, and scale through composability. With the Intelligence Hub, we can start small, think big, and scale fast.”

Youri Regnaud, Head of Manufacturing Product at Cartier
