The **Concepts** section gives you a high-level understanding of the core building blocks of **FactryOS**.

It’s not technical reference documentation. Instead, it helps you build a mental model of how the system works, what the key components are, and how they fit together.

If you're new to FactryOS, or you want to better understand how to configure and use the platform, this is a great place to start.

## Who this is for

This section is written for users and administrators of FactryOS:

- Production engineers and process experts
- Platform administrators 
- Project leads
- Anyone who configures, uses, or supports FactryOS on the shop floor.

You won’t need a background in software to understand these pages, but you will learn what each building block does and how it connects to others.

Each concept page explains:

- **What** the concept is
- **Why** it matters
- **How** it fits into the system
- Some **examples**
- **When** to use or configure it
