What We Do

From open-source standard to production deployment.

CNC Data creates and maintains the UNS Framework ecosystem — the open-source toolchain that structures, processes, and distributes manufacturing data in real time.

The work is not another dashboard. It is a live data layer that lets machines, systems, people, and AI agents operate from the same production context.

01 Input Machine events and operational signals

Stream machine state, alarms, counts, and production context from the shop floor.

MTConnect / OPC UA / Edge

02 Namespace MQTT topics shaped around ISA-95

Publish every event to a predictable hierarchy that systems can discover and reuse.

site / area / line / asset

03 Compute Serverless functions for live context

Run focused functions that classify stoppages, calculate KPIs, and enrich state.

fnkit processors

04 Output Dashboards, systems, analytics, and AI

Give every subscriber the same current operational truth without another integration.

MES / BI / agents

UNS Framework

unsframework.com ↗

The open standard defining how manufacturing data is structured, published, and consumed using MQTT and the ISA-95 hierarchy. YAML-based. Version-controlled. Self-hosted.

fnkit

fnkit.dev ↗

The serverless functions platform. Deploy Go, Node.js, or Python functions that subscribe to MQTT topics and process manufacturing data in real time.

fn-uns

fn.unsframework.com ↗

The reference implementation. Open-source serverless functions for state tracking, stoppage classification, productivity, KPIs, and AI analysis.

Why UNS

The business case for a Unified Namespace.

Once production data has a live address and a shared shape, every new system can subscribe to what already exists instead of becoming another isolated integration project.

Outcome	Before UNS	With UNS
Time to access utilisation data	hours	seconds
Integration setup	weeks	minutes
Data freshness	hours / days	real-time
Systems with access to machine data	1–2	unlimited
New KPI cost	significant	minimal
