The Problem No One Talks About
Automation isn’t broken. It’s just disconnected.
Modern container terminals are filled with high-tech equipment and software — yet everyday tasks still rely on Excel, email, and manual workarounds.
- Want to match machine data with your KPIs? Good luck.
- Want to try predictive maintenance? That’ll take three internal projects and a custom connector from a new supplier.
- Want to understand what caused a failure? Check that shift's handwritten logs, maybe.
This isn’t a technology problem. It’s an architecture problem.
The way systems connect today — point-to-point — doesn’t scale.
Our Approach: Unified Namespace
We use a Unified Namespace (UNS) to build a shared data layer where every system — from sensors to your TOS — publishes and subscribes to real-time events, in the same unified language.
Think of it as a digital backbone:
- Systems connect once — not to each other, but to the UNS.
- Data flows instantly, in standard formats, across your operation.
- You get visibility, flexibility, and freedom to innovate.
- The result?
✅ Lower IT integration costs
✅ Real-time data for BI, AI & analytics
✅ No more vendor lock-in
✅ Ready for optimization and automation at scale
WHY UNS? WHY Now?
The technology is ready
AI demands clean, real-time data
AI demands clean, real-time data
Unified Namespace (UNS) is a proven architecture already used in manufacturing, mining, and other complex industries.
It’s lightweight, scalable, and based on modern industrial protocols like MQTT and Sparkplug B.
Ports are just late to the party — but the infrastructure now exists to catch up quickly.

Everyone’s talking about AI and predictive automation — but what most terminals have is fragmented data, inconsistent formats, and hours-old exports.
Without a shared data model, AI is just a buzzword.
UNS provides the clean, consistent, live data stream that makes advanced decision support tools and machine learning actually usable — from forecast models to autonomous systems.
Standards are aligning

Standards are aligning
TIC4.0, ISO, and other global initiatives are working toward interoperability in port systems — but much of the thinking still depends on outdated integration models.
UNS offers a practical, field-proven way to implement these standards today — while staying agile for future needs.
