Imagine a world where manufacturing data from various sources seamlessly integrates into a single, efficient system. This is the promise of the Unified Namespace, a groundbreaking solution transforming the industrial IoT landscape.

Welcome to another episode of "We Talk IoT“. Today, we have an exciting lineup featuring two visionary leaders at the forefront of industrial IoT innovation. Joining us are Alexander Krüger, CEO of United Manufacturing Hub (UMH), and Frank Thelen, CEO of Freigeist Capital.

UMH, founded by Alexander and his team in 2021, aims to revolutionise manufacturing through this new data standard. Supported by Frank’s venture capital fund, Freigeist Capital, UMH is set to transform how industrial data is managed and utilised.
