Factry is a Belgian software company in Ghent that supplies industrial data platforms for manufacturing. Its flagship product, Factry Historian, collects real-time and historical process data from machines, sensors and edge devices, structures it with asset models and events, and makes it available to analysis tools. FactryOS adds production execution and optimisation on the shop floor. Connectors link the historian to Inductive Automation Ignition, Seeq and Grafana. The product pages address food and beverage, specialty chemicals, energy and utilities, and heavy industry.
Factry BV is registered in Ghent, Belgium. Historian can be installed on-site on the customer's own servers, deployed centrally, or used as a cloud service that Factry runs and manages; the cloud hosting region is not stated on the product pages. The privacy policy refers to the GDPR and notes that CRM data is transferred to the USA. With on-premise deployment, process data stays under the control of the operating organisation, which suits European organisations with strict data-residency requirements.
