Our welcome wiki at
#^https://welcome.factoryfouroh.net/dokuwiki is referencing Wikipedia entries for a number of reasons. If you are a Wikipedia contributor, or when this is relevant to you please read.
Keeping Our Wiki Accurate and Relevant The FourOh-LLC (and FourOh-LUG) projects are mapping manufacturing supply chains, and instead of directly linking to the
official homepage of all the relevant projects we link to the Wikipedia entry. When projects are moved, consolidated, come and go our links stay relevant.
Building on Top of Existing, Valid, Reliable SourcesFourOh-LLC (and FourOh-LUG) are scaling down the
Industry 4.0 namespace for the tiny and small production office and production floor. Industry 4.0 works only on the scale of the
Enterprise, but the small shop cannot afford any part of that. Our purpose is to re-create parts of the Industry 4.0 product and service stack on the scale that is affordable for the small shop, while staying on the upgrade path to Industry 4.0. We rely on Wikipedia to map that namespace for us so we may stay compatible.
Restructuring Wikipedia ContentIn some cases we redefine or entirely replace the Wikipedia entry, and in some cases we propose a new one. For example, various
Industry Standards describe what is considered an
article, which is a
physical object, might or might not an
assembly, with abstract properties such as "once an article always an article", and so forth. Of course, Wikipedia falls apart on this one as the word 'article' is filled with ambiguities. The last thing FourOh-LLC wants is to re-define or confuse the official published standards, so instead of naming it "article" we define anything that can be made into a physical object as
workpiece. This works for us because (unlike Wikipedia) we have a limited scope: manufacturing. The piece of metal inside the CNC lathe, or the printed circuit board inside the wave solder is indeed a work piece.
