title1. Unified Namespace (UNS) - Foundation Layer

1. Unified Namespace (UNS) - Foundation Layer

The UNS serves as the central data model for your entire solution:

  • Tags - Real-time data points with types, scaling, and properties
  • Asset Tree - Hierarchical organization of your plant/process
  • User Data Types (UDTs) - Reusable templates for complex objects
  • TagProviders - External data source connections

title2. Process Modules - Industrial Integration Layer

2. Process Modules - Industrial Integration Layer

Connect and collect data from field devices and industrial systems:

  • Devices - 70+ native drivers for PLCs, RTUs, and field devices
  • Alarms - Event detection, notification, and audit trail
  • Historians - Time-series data storage and retrieval

title3. Application Modules - Business Logic Layer

automation platform that delivers real-time operations, native UNS architecture, and AI-ready capabilities through a unified development and runtime environment.

Architecture

System architecture enabling deployments from edge devices to enterprise systems. Three-tier design supporting standalone, distributed, and cloud deployments with seamless scaling.

Technology Foundation

Built on .NET 8 for cross-platform execution. Native support for

3. Application Modules - Business Logic Layer

    4. Operator UI - Visualization Layer

    Present information to operators and managers:

    • Displays - HMI/SCADA screens with rich graphics
    • Dashboards - KPI monitoring and analytics
    • Clients - Rich (.NET), Web (HTML5), and Mobile applications

      • Drivers (70+ field protocols), UPC-UA, MQTT + third-party extensions.

    Platform Components

    The platform operates through three essential workspaces:

    • [Platform Architecture (Concept)] - Technical foundation and component integration
    • [Solution Center (Concept)] - Solution management and launch point
    • [Designer Workspace (Concept)] - Configuration environment for all modules
    • [Runtime Environment (Concept)] - Execution environment for deployed solutions
    • [Network Topologies (Concept)] - Deployment architectures from standalone to distributed

    3. WebAssembly technology enables build-once, deploy-anywhere to desktop, web, and mobile.

    Product Editions

    • Enterprise - Full SCADA/IIoT platform with unlimited or I/O-scaled options
    • MachineHMI - Local visualization and control
    • EdgeConnect - Autonomous edge operations with UNS and SQL
    • Distributed Systems - DataHub Station and Displays Portal components

    Security & Operations

    Millisecond performance with enterprise-grade security. RBAC authentication, audit trails, Git integration for version control, and comprehensive DevOps APIs.

    Key Differentiators

    • Modern Foundation - Latest .NET technologies with native high-speed drivers
    • Unified by Design - Single designer, SCADA + EDGE UNS + AI-ready, multi-platform runtime
    • Complete from Day One - All modules included, 100+ connectors, unlimited scaling
