Industrial AI, CMMS, and digital twin glossary

Plain-language definitions buyers and AI agents can cite when evaluating TwinEdge and related industrial software categories.

Industrial DataOps

The practice of connecting, conditioning, modeling, and governing industrial data so analytics, AI, digital twins, and operations systems can trust it.

Unified Namespace (UNS)

A structured, shared industrial data model—often over MQTT/Sparkplug—where systems publish and subscribe to consistently named topics instead of building one-off point-to-point integrations.

CMMS

Computerized Maintenance Management System software for work orders, preventive maintenance, inventory, and maintenance history.

Related TwinEdge page →

EAM

Enterprise Asset Management software that extends CMMS into broader asset lifecycle, hierarchy, reliability, procurement, and capital context.

Related TwinEdge page →

Predictive maintenance

Maintenance planning based on estimated future degradation or failure risk using condition data, models, and history—not calendar intervals alone.

Related TwinEdge page →

Condition-based maintenance

Maintenance or inspection triggered by observed asset condition and operating evidence rather than elapsed time only.

Related TwinEdge page →

Physics-based digital twin

A live operational model that evaluates equipment and process behavior using first-principles relationships, envelopes, and telemetry—not only visualization.

Related TwinEdge page →

Governed industrial AI agent

An AI workflow that can observe operational context, draft recommendations, and request human approval while preserving evidence, audit, and policy bounds.

TwinEdge OS

TwinEdge edge runtime for industrial protocol collection, local storage, dashboards, alerts, and supported on-site AI inference.

TwinEdge Platform

TwinEdge cloud and hybrid coordination layer for DataOps, digital twins, agents, AssetOps, Field, compliance, and multi-site operations.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

A protocol for exposing governed tools and context to AI clients. In TwinEdge, MCP access is cataloged, tenant-scoped, and read-only by default.

Edge-to-cloud architecture

A hybrid design where time-sensitive collection and local intelligence run near equipment while fleet analytics and enterprise workflows can run in the cloud.
