Converged is designed as an open manufacturing platform, not a closed SaaS box. The core is available under an open-source license, and integrations, microservices, micro-frontends, workflows, and applied solutions can grow around it.

This matters in manufacturing: different workshops use different equipment, materials, quality standards, and supply chains. A closed system quickly hits the limits of a single vendor. An open architecture allows adapters and scenarios to be added for real operating conditions.

An extension can be simple: a new equipment adapter, payment-service integration, import from an old website, a separate UI module, or a workflow for a specific industry. If an extension is useful to other participants, it can become part of the solution catalog or remain a private implementation.

Open does not mean uncontrolled. Extensions must pass technical review, respect architectural boundaries, and not receive broader data access than they need. Trust in the ecosystem is built on source code, reproducibility, and a clear permission model.
