## Summary

Dominik Obermaier, Co-Founder and CTO of HiveMQ, explains Unified Namespace (UNS) as a data architecture that democratizes access to operational data across IT and OT silos. He highlights how UNS uses the MQTT protocol to bridge legacy systems and modern applications, enabling real-time insights for stakeholders ranging from shop floor workers to executives. Obermaier advises organizations to start with pilot programs in existing factories to avoid disrupting current operations while unlocking data for AI and efficiency gains.
