Your experience gets better every 6 weeks.

6. Easiest-to-Use of any product

1factory is incredibly easy-to-use, and is RATED #1 for ease-of-use by factory-floor and engineering users alike.

7. Fastest Implementation Time: Go Live in 2 Hours

Your team will have their accounts created in minutes, and will be trained and live with the first set of Plans and Inspections in under two hours.

8. Lightning-Fast Performance: Fastest product on the market

Customers describe 1factory as "lightning fast" (please see video testimonial here from minute 03:01 to 03:12) with drawings processed in seconds and data saved in a fraction of a second. In comparison, our competitor's products are very very slow: they take a long time to read and balloon drawings, and more importantly record measurement data very slowly.

1factory saves a measurement within a fraction of a second. Our competitors take 8 to 15 seconds to save a single measurement, frustrating the factory floor users. 1factory also processes CMM files within seconds and delivers instant feedback from the CMM to the machinist enabling real-time process control. Our competitors take 7 to 10 minutes per CMM file; by the time the data is loaded, more bad parts have been produced.

9. No concurrent user limitations

Our powerful engineering ensures that thousands of users from across 15 countries can access the system at the same time without any loss of performance.

10. Scalability

1factory can easily handle Drawings, Plans, and Inspections with over a thousand parameters and lot sizes of thousands of parts, i.e. it can handle inspections requiring more than 1 million measurements per lot (1000 features x 1000 parts). 1factory effortlessly collects data from hundreds of workcenters and CMMs from across the factory floor.

1factory handles thousands of concurrent users with no loss of performance.

11. True Customer Success

Unlike our competitors for whom a sale is a transaction, at 1factory, we are heavily invested in your success. Our customer success team will happily train new users, help answer questions, and visit your site to collect feedback and new feature requests.
