Unified Manufacturing Data Architecture
Tools
Hands-on tools for working with the framework: design your namespace, data model, and AI agents right in the browser, translate between the standards, and learn the architecture by playing.
Design & reference tools
Standalone workbenches that build on each other: the Edge Node Planner tames the raw tags, the UNS Designer names the topics, the Common Data Model Designer defines the contract, and the Agent Designer consumes it. The crosswalk and the reference pages keep the standards at hand while you work.
Edge Node Planner
Where messy tags become clean topics: paste the raw PLC tags and OPC paths a line actually exposes, bind each one to a governed UNS topic with validation and scaling rules, and export the node config, commissioning sheet, and runbook.
Open the planner →Unified Namespace Designer
Design a governed, ISA-95-aligned Unified Namespace: build your enterprise → site → area → line hierarchy, validate the naming against the standard, and export a naming convention your teams can build to.
Open the designer →Common Data Model Designer
Define the shared entities of a site, give them typed attributes and ISA-95/88 lineage, and connect them with relationships that read as sentences. Export JSON Schema, SQL DDL, Cypher, an RDF ontology, a data dictionary, or an entity catalog for the Agent Designer.
Open the designer →Agent Designer
Design domain-specific AI agents that exchange canonical objects instead of free text, coordinated by a centralized LLM Router. Import the canonical model from the CDM Designer, scope each agent to the entities it owns, and map how requests route to the right domain.
Open the designer →Standards Crosswalk
Map UMDA concepts across the manufacturing standards: ISA-95/88, OPC UA, MQTT/Sparkplug B, B2MML and more. Search a standard or a concept, switch the context lens for discrete, batch, or continuous process, and see how the pieces translate.
Open the crosswalk →Plain-Language Standards Notes
The ISA-95 object model and the ISA-88 batch model, defined the way practitioners use them: equipment, lots, work orders, batches, recipes, phases. Each page opens with a relationship map, and every object has a stable anchor that the designers' exports link back to.
ISA-95 objects →·ISA-88 objects →Reference Library
Key terms, acronyms, and the industry standards (ISA-95/88, OPC UA, MQTT, NIST, ISO) the Unified Manufacturing Data Architecture is built on.

The two interactive ways into UMDA, also one click away in the top navigation: play the transformation end to end, then score where your own plant stands.
Built to Scale
A manufacturing tycoon simulation: modernize the plant floor and build the UMDA stack one layer at a time, learning first-hand why the data foundation has to come before the AI.
Play the simulation →Maturity Self-Assessment
Score your data and operational-AI readiness on the two-axis maturity quadrant, then get a tailored, layer-by-layer plan for what to build next.
