Milpitas, California, United States
What it is
1factory is a manufacturing, supply-chain, and quality-operations platform available through web, API, and self-hosted deployment. Its tools cover product quality, supplier quality, compliance, and quality-management workflows. Quality Control includes PDF auto-ballooning, inspection plans, first article inspections, PPAP, in-process inspections, SPC, and gage calibration. Incoming inspection supports AQL sampling, lot acceptance or rejection, lot switching, and certificates of conformance. Supplier tools provide approved-vendor lists, qualification and certification, dashboards, scorecards, supplier FAI and PPAP, and corrective actions. The QMS adds document control, approvals, access control, training, records, and audit-readiness functions. APIs exchange part-master, order, inspection, and measurement data with ERP or PLM systems using JSON and UTF-8; organization API keys are created in Settings. Plans require annual billing and at least a one-year commitment. Pricing starts at $20 a month, with minimum quantities depending on the plan.
