Industrial Data Turned Actionable

FactoryDB brings together scattered operational data to deliver real business value. How much does one down day cost you? Picture this: real-time anomaly detection spotting issues before they cause trouble, keeping your operations humming, and making your work more efficient.

We free you from vendor lock-in by connecting isolated manufacturing systems to powerful analytics platforms or custom LLM solutions. Whether you're in pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, or energy, we help turn data trapped in disconnected systems into actionable insights.

how it works

From an Initial Call to Success – Step by Step

Discovery & ARCHITECTURE Design

Begin just by scheduling a call.

Then our engineering team will put together a plan & conduct an assessment of your existing systems (PLSc, SCADA, databases) and designs a custom MQTT-based data architecture that integrates seamlessly with your factory floor while maintaining full data sovereignty.

Proof of Concept deployment

Validate the approach with real data

We deploy our core infrastructure stack (MQTT broker, InfluxDB, real-time analytics) on a pilot production line, demonstrating immediate value through live data visualization and basic predictive insights within 2-4 weeks.

Knowledge Graph Development

Transform documentation into intelligence

Using your plant documentation, SOPs, and historical data, we build custom knowledge graphs that provide contextual understanding to your operational data – the foundation for AI- driven decision support.

LOCAL LLM MODEL DEployment (or integration with other analytic platforms)

Deploy on-premises intelligence

Our team implements factory-floor-ready LLM server and deploys the Manufacturing Assistant interface, enabling operators and engineers to interact with real-time data through natural language queries while keeping all AI interface and data locally.

… it doesn’t stop there!

Open-source benefits with enterprise support

Our monitoring infrastructure provides 24/7 system health tracking with proactive issue detection,
guaranteed SLA response times, and rapid on-site support when needed. You get the innovation
benefits of open-source development with the reliability assurance of enterprise support-
ensuring your manufacturing intelligence grows stronger while maintaining operational continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Project investment typically ranges from €40-60K for deployment and €20-30K annually—fully inclusive of implementation, 24/7 support, and maintenance. Compare this to €300K+ for traditional solutions with similar ongoing costs.

Given the complexity of these projects, we take a different approach than SaaS trials. We offer risk-minimized pilot projects where you can validate FactoryDB on a single production line or critical process before scaling facility-wide.

FactoryDB is an industrial data infrastructure platform that unifies fragmented operational data from your manufacturing systems. We connect vendor-locked machines to open analytics platforms like Dataiku and IntelligenceQ, enabling you to extract actionable insights from previously trapped data. This helps reduce machine downtime by up to 20% and increase productivity by up to 70%.

FactoryDB specializes in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and energy sectors. We're ideal for mid-size to large manufacturers (50M-500M+ revenue) with 10+ machines or complex multi-line operations that require regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, and elimination of vendor lock-in.

Typical FactoryDB deployment takes 2-4 weeks for a proof of concept on a pilot production line. Full production deployment usually completes within 6-8 weeks, depending on facility size, number of machines, and complexity of existing systems. We offer a 4-week proof of concept to validate the approach with your real data.

Yes, FactoryDB is designed for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) environments with comprehensive audit trails, electronic signatures, data integrity controls, and validation support per FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. We also provide GDPR compliance and support air-gapped deployments for maximum security.

Most clients achieve positive ROI within 6-9 months through reduced downtime (up to 20%), increased efficiency (15%), and eliminated manual work (1200+ hours annually). Based on industry data, you can expect up to 70% increase in productivity and elimination of significant manual data collection tasks.

FactoryDB operates as a non-invasive data layer that reads data from your existing PLCs, SCADA, and MES systems without modifying any code or configurations. We support all major industrial protocols including MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, and can work with legacy PLCs dating back to the 1990s without impacting production operations.
