Unplanned Downtime

The average manufacturer loses $260K per hour to unplanned downtime. KFactory predicts failures 72 hours in advance.

📈

OEE Below Target

World-class OEE is 85%+. Most plants hover at 60%. KFactory identifies the specific bottlenecks holding you back.

Platform

Built for the
production floor

KFactory connects to your MES, ERP, SCADA and IoT sensors to deliver a unified operational intelligence layer - five modules that take manufacturing operations from raw data to autonomous optimisation.

01

Connect

Bridge every machine, sensor and business system into a single data backbone. KFactory speaks every industrial protocol - from legacy serial lines to modern OPC UA - and syncs bi-directionally with ERP, WMS and PLM so your shop floor and back office share one source of truth.

IoT Integration

Plug into PLCs, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, RS232/485 and any industrial protocol. Edge gateways deploy in minutes - no production downtime.

Explore
IT System Integration

Two-way sync with ERP, WMS, PLM, CMMS and CRM via REST APIs and webhooks. One source of truth across shop floor and back office.

02

Plan

Optimise schedules, capacity and resources automatically. Replace spreadsheets with mathematical optimisation - generate optimal schedules in under 30 seconds, detect capacity bottlenecks 14 days ahead and prevent material shortages before they disrupt production.

Production Scheduling

Mathematical optimisation generates feasible, optimal schedules in under 30 seconds - respecting machines, shifts, maintenance windows and setup matrices.

Explore
Demand Forecasting

AI models forecast demand from 72 hours to 6 months out - with confidence intervals, scenario modelling and automatic exception alerts.

03

Operate

Run day-to-day operations with real-time visibility and control. From machine status to OEE to output rates - see what's happening on every line, in real time. No more waiting for end-of-shift reports.

Production

Real-time OEE, output and downtime analysis on every line - no more waiting for end-of-shift reports.

Explore
Asset Maintenance

Predict bearing, motor and pump failures up to 72 hours ahead with condition-based monitoring.

Explore
Tool Maintenance

Track usage cycles, predict tool wear and prevent unplanned tooling failures that wreck batches.

Explore
Quality

Automatic SPC, control charts and PPAP documentation aligned to IATF 16949, AS9100 and NADCAP.

Explore
Continuous Improvement

Structure Kaizen, 5S and lean initiatives across plants with AI-assisted insight discovery.

Explore
Knowledge Management

Capture tribal knowledge in searchable runbooks before retiring experts walk it out the door.

Explore
Vision Applications

Edge AI vision detects defects, reads labels and verifies assembly with 99 %+ accuracy.

Case Study

SILDVB: 10% productivity boost through smart digitalisation

SILDVB, a family-owned specialist in cold stamping and deep drawing for the automotive sector and longstanding Dacia–Groupe Renault supplier, deployed KFactory across all 9 stamping presses to automate data collection and gain real-time operational visibility.

The result: a 10% productivity increase - achieved without adding equipment or staff - while meeting IATF 16949 digitalisation requirements. All 55 employees now use the platform daily for production, quality, and maintenance decisions.

"We opted for the digitalisation of the operational flow. This component forms part of our long-term strategy for the modernisation and optimisation of our production capacities."
