  2. Open-design movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-design_movement

    Open Source Ecology, open source farming and industrial machinery. The open-design movement currently unites two trends. On one hand, people apply their skills and time on projects for the common good, perhaps where funding or commercial interest is lacking, for developing countries or to help spread ecological or cheaper technologies.

  3. Off-site construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-Site_Construction

    Offsite construction refers to the planning, design, manufacture and assembly of building elements at a location other than their final installed location to support the rapid speed of, and efficient construction of a permanent structure. Such building elements may be prefabricated offsite in a different location and transported to the site or ...

  4. Modular process skid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_process_skid

    Portable design– because they are self-contained units, built within frames, skid systems are easier to transport than traditional process systems. Small footprint – process skid frames allow equipment layering. Piping, tanks, and necessary process equipment can be fit into a smaller footprint with a skid design

  5. Open manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_manufacturing

    The openness of "open manufacturing" may relate to the nature of the product (open design), to the nature of the production machines and methods (e.g. open source 3D-printers, open source CNC), to the process of production and innovation (commons-based peer production / collaborative / distributed manufacturing), or to new forms of value creation (network-based bottom-up or hybrid versus ...

  6. Manufacturing engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_engineering

    Manufacturing engineers develop and create physical artifacts, production processes, and technology. It is a very broad area which includes the design and development of products. Manufacturing engineering is considered to be a subdiscipline of industrial engineering/systems engineering and has very strong overlaps with mechanical engineering ...

  7. Engineering design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_design_process

    The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.

  8. Open-source hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware

    The field of open-source hardware has been shown to go beyond electronic hardware and to cover a larger range of product categories such as machine tools, vehicles and medical equipment. [30] In that sense, hardware refers to any form of tangible product, be it electronic hardware, mechanical hardware, textile or even construction hardware. The ...

  9. Industrial engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_engineering

    There is a general consensus among historians that the roots of the industrial engineering profession date back to the Industrial Revolution.The technologies that helped mechanize traditional manual operations in the textile industry including the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and perhaps most importantly the steam engine generated economies of scale that made mass production in ...
