Supply Chain Complexity

Multi-tier supplier networks create blind spots. KFactory maps your entire supply chain and flags risks before they disrupt production.

✅

Quality Compliance (AS9100/IATF)

Maintaining audit-ready compliance across facilities is costly and error-prone. KFactory automates documentation and SPC tracking in real time.

🔍

Production Traceability

Regulators and OEMs demand full lot-level traceability. KFactory links every part to its source, process, and inspection data automatically.

Built for
precision-critical industries

KFactory integrates with your MES, ERP, QMS, PLM and supplier portals to deliver end-to-end visibility across automotive and aerospace operations - five modules that take regulated production from raw data to autonomous optimisation.

01

Connect

Bridge every CNC machine, robot, CMM, torque tool and business system into a single data backbone. KFactory speaks every industrial protocol and syncs bi-directionally with ERP, QMS and PLM so part data, lot genealogy and supplier records share one source of truth.

IoT Integration

Plug into CNC controllers, robots, CMMs and torque tools via OPC UA, MTConnect, Modbus and MQTT. Edge gateways deploy in days - no production downtime, no certification rework.

Explore
IT System Integration

Two-way sync with ERP, QMS, PLM, MES and supplier portals via REST APIs. Lot, BOM, routing and inspection data unified across shop floor and back office.

02

Plan

Optimise schedules, capacity and resources automatically. Replace spreadsheets with mathematical optimisation that respects OEM delivery windows, NADCAP-restricted machines, certified operators and tool change matrices - in under 30 seconds.

Production Scheduling

Build feasible schedules that respect machine eligibility, certified operators, NADCAP restrictions and sequence-dependent setups - optimal plans in under 30 seconds.

Explore
Demand Forecasting

Forecast OEM program demand 6 months ahead with confidence intervals, life-of-program scenarios and automatic alerts on take-rate shifts.

Explore
03

Operate

Run day-to-day operations with real-time visibility and control across every press, lathe, CMM and assembly line. Lot genealogy, operator certification and SPC are tracked automatically - no more end-of-shift reconciliation.

Production

Real-time OEE, lot genealogy and operator certification on every press, lathe and CMM - with automatic deviation logging.

Explore
Asset Maintenance

Predict spindle, hydraulic and CNC-axis failures up to 72 hours ahead via vibration, temperature and current signature analysis.

Explore
Tool Maintenance

Track usage cycles per insert, mill and broach. Predict wear before tolerance drift wrecks a flight-critical lot.

Explore
Quality

Automatic SPC, Cp/Cpk, control charts and PPAP packs aligned to AS9100, IATF 16949 and NADCAP - audit-ready in real time.

Explore
Continuous Improvement

Run Kaizen, 5S and 8D loops across plants with AI-assisted root cause discovery for systemic NCRs.

Explore
Knowledge Management

Capture certified-operator and inspector know-how in searchable runbooks before retiring specialists walk it out the door.

Explore
Vision Applications

Edge AI vision verifies serial numbers, reads DPM data-matrix codes and inspects assemblies with 99 %+ accuracy.

Explore
04

Accelerate

AI agents that work alongside your engineers and quality teams. Virtual Engineers handle research and routine analysis 24/7. Autonomous Optimisation runs controlled experiments around the clock - with humans in the loop where regulators require it.

Virtual Engineers

Plain-language AI specialists answer engineering, quality and supplier questions grounded in YOUR PLM and ERP data - with full source references.

Explore
Autonomous Optimisation

Closed-loop experiments propose parameter changes, measure scrap impact and keep only what wins. Performance ratchets up - never down.

Explore
Team Workflows

Orchestrate multiple AI agents in sequence - quality, planning, supplier - with humans in the loop where AS9100 or IATF require sign-off.

Explore
AI Safety & Governance

Prompt injection protection, output validation, PII detection and full audit trails for every AI-assisted decision in regulated environments.

Explore
05

Analyse

Model outcomes before you commit. Generative analytics with what-if scenarios across program profitability, capacity, supplier consolidation and tariff exposure - plus real-time KPI dashboards with drill-down to root cause.

Financial Scenarios

What-if simulations across program profitability, capacity allocation, supplier consolidation and tariff exposure - see the impact before you commit.

Explore
KPI Dashboards

Real-time dashboards with drill-down across quality, delivery, supplier and audit readiness - one click from headline metric to root cause.
