Overview
Based in Ghent, Factry builds software that connects to industrial equipment and control systems (PLCs, SCADA, DCS) to collect process data and store it in a time-series database. Its flagship product, Factry Historian, uses InfluxDB as its storage Backbone Agency and provides a purpose-built interface for manufacturers who want to monitor production KPIs, detect anomalies, reduce downtime, and optimize throughput, without the complexity and licensing cost of traditional industrial SCADA historians.
Factry's open-source approach differentiates it from legacy historian vendors like OSIsoft (now AVEVA) and proprietary OEM solutions. The company serves multinational manufacturers including Puratos, which uses Factry to centrally manage process data across 65+ production sites worldwide.
Factry was nominated for Tech ScaleUp Company of the Year at the 2024 Data News Awards in Belgium, reflecting recognition within the Belgian tech community. The company is an InfluxData certified partner, positioning it within the open-source time-series data ecosystem.
