Smart Manufacturing Mindset™: When Two Paths Converge: UNS, i3X, and the Future of Manufacturing

SEP 1, 202657 MIN

Description

In this episode, Jeff Winter sits down with John Dyck, Jonathan Wise, and Walker Reynolds to explore the convergence of Unified Namespace (UNS) and CESMII's i3X.  Together, they unpack the shared industry challenge that brought these frameworks together, why they complement rather than compete with one another, and what this means for the future of interoperable, AI-ready manufacturing. They also discuss the work that still lies ahead and how the manufacturing community can help shape what's next.
