Industrial Data Turned Actionable
Your factory machines generate valuable data trapped in vendor silos. We unlock it with open standards, giving you real-time insights without the lock-in.
The Hidden Cost of Vendor Lock-in
Most manufacturing facilities pay EUR 300-500K annually in hidden costs: proprietary systems that don't talk to each other, manual data collection, and vendor-controlled upgrades.
Data Silos
Your PLCs, SCADA, and MES systems speak different languages. Critical insights stay trapped in separate systems.
Vendor Dependencies
Need a change? Wait months for expensive vendor consultants. Your data, their timeline.
Manual Processes
Operators manually logging data, copying between systems. Error-prone and time-consuming.
Escalating Licenses
Per-seat, per-device, per-feature pricing that multiplies as you grow. Scaling your operation means scaling their revenue.
Upgrade Traps
Forced migrations on the vendor's schedule—often breaking existing integrations. Pay again for what already worked.
Data Hostage
Years of production history locked in proprietary formats. Want to switch? Export isn't included.

We offer two main options:
- Industrial Data Audit: Starting at EUR 5,000 for a 3-week assessment
- Platform Implementation: EUR 40-60K for deployment, EUR 20-30K annually
Compare this to EUR 300K+ for traditional solutions like ABB or Siemens.
Pilot projects typically deploy in 1-3 months from kickoff to production. This includes infrastructure setup, data integration, testing, and team training—significantly faster than the 6-18 months required by traditional solutions.
Given the complexity of industrial projects, we take a different approach. We offer a low-risk entry point: our Industrial Data Audit at EUR 5,000. This lets you validate our approach on your specific environment before committing to full implementation.
FactoryDB specializes in regulated manufacturing industries:
- Pharmaceutical CDMOs (FDA/GMP compliance)
- Food & Beverage production
- Energy & Utilities
Our sweet spot is EUR 50-500M revenue companies with multi-line or multi-site operations.
We use open standards like MQTT to extract data from proprietary systems. Your data flows into a vendor-neutral layer that you own. You can connect to any analytics platform—Dataiku, Power BI, custom solutions—without being tied to any single vendor.
FactoryDB is made in Europe by Swiss and Latvian teams. Our office is in Baar, Switzerland. We work across Europe with competitive pricing based on location (Baltic: EUR 5K, Central Europe: EUR 5.5K, Other Europe: EUR 6K).
