Who we are

Factry's mission is to radically simplify the process of learning from industrial data, to unlock the full potential of people and processes. To do this, we build IIoT solutions that bring insight and oversight.

We're not an automation company. We're hardboiled IT experts with a profound knowledge of automation. We look at things from an IT perspective, opening doors to new and groundbreaking solutions.

How we roll

Just like we believe that frictionless access to production data is crucial to operational improvement, we think transparency and humour are key to building long-lasting human relationships.

To each of our team members, we want to offer a career that suits their strengths and interests, while being able to explore new things and develop themselves. Read more about the Factry way of life.
