What it is
Factbird is a paid manufacturing intelligence suite for manufacturers that turns production data into operational views and shop-floor workflows.

Data can come from Factbird Industrial IoT devices or directly from PLCs, with live graphs, stop-cause reporting, and OEE monitoring. Connectivity includes MQTT, OPC UA through Kepware, GraphQL, webhooks, and named integrations such as Power BI, Tableau, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Factbird lists encryption in transit and at rest, SSO, MFA, and a private-cloud option. Apps require the Factbird platform.
