Where does a Unified Namespace fit in a manufacturing architecture?

Direct answer
A Unified Namespace provides a shared, event-oriented model for current operational information so applications do not need a custom point-to-point connection for every data consumer. It is most useful after machine signals and business context have consistent names and ownership. MQTT connectivity and edge gateways can help publish that normalized information.
Practical checkpoint
Define one canonical machine-state and job-context model before selecting a broker or connecting every asset.
