Panel Discussion: Stories of Open Hardware in an Internet of Production
summary
A snapshot of practical progress: Wikifactory runs a collaboration platform used by 100,000 designers on over 6,000 projects and connects to hundreds of online manufacturing‑as‑a‑service providers so prototypes move to production, while the Open KnowHow data model (released 2019) standardizes hardware documentation and an Open Where mapping standard tags local machines and skills. Field Ready maps makers and reports delivering tens of thousands of PPE locally, and Appropedia implements Open KnowHow across 1,500+ documented projects.
