In practice, equipmentdriven regimes emphasize what can be done with the current asset base, with the constraints and capabilities of machines, instruments, and facilities guiding task design, sequencing, and resource allocation.
Contexts where equipmentdriven dynamics appear include manufacturing, laboratories, and maker environments. In manufacturing, production lines and
The approach offers both advantages and drawbacks. Benefits include faster iteration using existing assets, easier standardization,
Overall, equipmentdriven describes how infrastructure and tooling shape practical choices in projects and operations. It is
