Glossary · field vocabulary

Every term in this material, one line each

The vocabulary shared by the SOP, the certification outline and the console UI. The inline badges that used to sit in the body text are gone: the prose keeps only whole sentences, and the terms are collected here, grouped by theme.

Field method

01

From the first shop-floor walk to a working prototype: the roles, phases and verbs this SOP runs on.

Engagement
One full on-site customer project: progressed from problem framing through build and industrialization to handoff and exit.
Engagements
Engagement list: the entry point for all field projects.
FDE
Forward Deployed Engineer: an engineer who embeds at the customer site with the product to deliver solutions fast.
force
Force advance: bypasses the block, but gates still evaluate and record; exceptions land in the audit log.
Gemba
Site walk: engineers embed on the shop floor to observe real processes, equipment and pain points (maps to the site_survey phase).
Gemba walk
From Japanese genba (the actual place): walk the shop floor where value is created, observe real work and talk to operators instead of judging from reports. A core lean/Toyota practice.
prototype
Real-data prototype: build a verifiable prototype on the customer's real data, not demo data.
qualification
Qualification: confirm the problem is real and the customer has budget and intent.
SOP
Standard Operating Procedure; here, the 18-phase project lifecycle.
stakeholder_map
Stakeholder map: identify decision-makers, users, blockers and what each wants.
Zone
SOP phase group: A pre-engagement → B build → C industrialization → D handoff & exit.
zones
Phase groups (Zone): A pre-engagement → B build → C industrialization → D handoff & exit.

Gates & compliance

02

The predicates re-evaluated on every phase advance, plus the hard conditions the contract side has to meet.

FAT/SAT
FAT = Factory Acceptance Test; SAT = Site Acceptance Test — both need the customer's signature.
Gate
Predicate-style gate: re-evaluated on every phase advance (e.g. dual sponsor, FAT/SAT sign-off); a failure blocks the advance and a stale pass never counts.
Gates
Gate list: every gate that applies to this project and its status.
overlay
Overlay: extra gates that only apply to the industrial profile (factory icon).
sponsor
The project's decision-maker/funding stakeholder; this SOP requires a business and an industrial sponsor to jointly confirm success criteria.
success_criteria
Success criteria: contractual, measurable acceptance conditions signed off by both sponsors.
Success criteria成功标准
Success criteria (success_criteria): contractual, measurable acceptance conditions confirmed by the dual sponsors.
Gates门禁
Gates: the gate-check results applying to the current phase (pass/blocked).

Data & corpus

03

Scenario configuration and the data itself: what to ingest, how to forge it, and what counts as enough.

Context
Project context: a structured set of site, stakeholders, success criteria, SLOs, functional safety and assets.
Corpus
Corpus: the sample set for training/eval; forging is the pipeline of cleaning, PII masking, dedup, gap-filling and synthesis.
JSONL
One JSON object per line; common for sample and eval data.
KPI
Key Performance Indicator; the ticket and manufacturing scenarios use different catalogs.
manufacturing
Manufacturing / embodied-robotics scenario: OPC UA, MQTT, ROS2 and other industrial feeds + 6 industrial compliance gates.
min_samples
Minimum real samples per category; below it the category is a gap and triggers synthesis.
PII
Personally Identifiable Information (name/email/phone); automatically masked during forging.
Profile
Scenario profile: defines available connectors, the KPI catalog and applicable gates (ticket support / manufacturing).
stub
Stub: interface and data model ready, the real system not yet wired.
synth_per_gap
How many synthetic samples to add per gap category.
ticket
Support-ticket scenario: CSV/Zammad/Salesforce/MySQL ingestion, no industrial gates.
Stakeholder干系人
Stakeholder: project roles (decision-maker, users, ops, union…) and their success metrics.
Corpus forging语料锻造
Corpus forging: raw data (CSV etc.) → PII masking → dedup → quality gate → coverage analysis → targeted synthesis → report.

Industrial & robotics

04

Shop-floor data sources, protocols and production-line metrics.

DexNet
UC Berkeley grasp-planning network and benchmark dataset; a common reference for pick success.
Historian
Time-series historian: stores process history (temperature, takt, alarms…).
ISA-95
The international standard for enterprise-to-shop-floor integration; the basis of the MES data model.
MES
Manufacturing Execution System: shop-floor data source for work orders, quality and downtime.
MQTT-Sparkplug
MQTT: lightweight pub/sub protocol; Sparkplug B standardizes its industrial payload semantics.
MTBF
Mean Time Between Failures (hours); higher is more reliable.
OEE
Overall Equipment Effectiveness = availability × performance × quality; world-class ≥ 0.85.
OPC
Tencent Cloud OPC (Other Professional Certification): the product-competency exam for channel partners.
OPC UA
Unified industrial-automation communication protocol; reads PLC tag data directly.
pick success
Robotic pick success rate; DexNet benchmark ≈ 0.80.
PLC
Programmable Logic Controller: the control unit of production equipment.
ROS2 Bag
ROS 2 recording/replay format, common for robot trajectories and sensor data.

Safety & regulation

05

Functional-safety levels, deployment shapes and labour co-determination — the compliance that becomes gates.

air-gapped
Air-gapped deployment: physically isolated from external networks; installs and updates go through an offline checklist.
CE
EU conformity marking: the product meets the relevant EU directives.
EU AI Act
EU AI Act: risk-tiered AI regulation; high-risk uses require compliance assessment and documentation.
IEC 61508
Functional-safety standard for E/E/PE systems; defines SIL levels.
ISO 10218
Industrial robot safety standard: risk-assessment requirements for collaborative and regular robots.
ISO 13849
Machinery functional-safety standard; defines Performance Levels PL / PLr.
OT/IT separationOT/IT 隔离
OT/IT separation: isolating the shop-floor operational-technology network from the corporate IT network — a common industrial security requirement.
PLr
Required Performance Level (ISO 13849); PL is the level actually achieved.
SIL
Safety Integrity Level (IEC 61508).
works_council
German Works Constitution Act (BetrVG §87) co-determination: deployments involving employee monitoring/performance need union consent.
Functional safety功能安全
Functional Safety: standards ensuring machinery/control systems stay safe under failure (PL/SIL levels).
Works council工会
Employee representative body; in Germany, deployments involving employee monitoring/performance require its co-determination (works_council gate).
Air-gapped气隙
Air-gapped: a closed network physically isolated from external networks.
Shift system班次
Shift system (e.g. 3 shifts); 24/7 lines need shift-handover integration (shift_handover gate).

Operations & exit

06

After go-live: service commitments, drift monitoring, the backflow flywheel, and the exit.

bad case
Bad-case mining: find poorly performing samples from eval results, then classify and attribute them.
drift
Drift: data distribution/quality shifting over time and degrading the model; monitor it to trigger retraining.
Flywheel
Flywheel: field events flow back as corpus with weekly incremental retraining — the loop that makes the system better the longer it runs.
on-call
Rotating duty response: alerts route to whoever is on call so someone can act around the clock.
runbook
Operations runbook: failure-handling steps, rollback plans and escalation paths.
SLA
Service Level Agreement: the external contractual commitment, usually backed by several SLOs.
SLO
Service Level Objective: an internal, measurable quality commitment, e.g. '99% of tickets first-responded within 5 minutes'.
Alert route告警路由
Alert route: the channel/on-call group an SLO breach pages (alert_route).
Drift漂移
Drift: data distribution/quality shifting over time and eroding the model; a monitoring item.
Handoff package移交包
Handoff package: the full artifact set delivered to the customer at project end — runbook, model, monitoring config, known limitations and more.
Flywheel飞轮
The data flywheel: event backflow → corpus increment → retraining; the longer a project runs, the better the model fits that customer.
