The document discusses using a LAMP stack approach to automate and digitalize manufacturing. The LAMP stack consists of Linux as the operating system, Apache as the web server, MySQL as the database, and PHP as the scripting language. This allows manufacturing processes to be abstracted, networked, compiled, and debugged in a way that avoids duplicating work and empowers workers. The LAMP stack provides a foundation to rebuild manufacturing through increased automation and empowerment of all roles.
