One device. Every machine. Infinite scale.
Whether you’re an OEM building smarter machines or an end user modernizing your plant floor, the Factorian Edge fits right in — the same box, the same framework, from a single panel to a whole plant.
For OEMs
Bundle the Factorian Edge directly with your process machine panels, and ship intelligence — not just iron.
- Plug-and-play data acquisition — no custom integration on your end
- Built-in historian and real-time trends, out of the box
- Conversational AI so your customers can ask questions about their machine, in plain language
- One compact, fanless, DIN-mountable device — easy to fit inside any panel
Give every customer a connected, data-ready machine from day one — and a reason to choose you over the competition.
Hardware and bundled software in a single fanless enclosure, built to live inside the panel it ships in.
For end users
Start with a single machine. Scale to your whole plant — same device, same framework, zero rearchitecting.
- Connects to what you already have — PLCs, sensors, SCADA — no rip-and-replace
- Stores time-series data with an open, scalable historian
- Trends machine performance and KPIs in real time
- Chats — ask plain-language questions and get instant answers on production, maintenance, or efficiency
Connect → Store → Trend → Chat. It runs continuously, on every node, whether it’s watching one machine or reporting up to a plant-wide data lake.
One machine or one hundred
The path is the same at every scale. A single Edge device clusters into a high-availability node group on one install; node groups link across stations into a federated, plant-wide network — without changing the underlying architecture.
A single Edge device is a fine starting point, but it’s also a single point of failure — if that node goes down, the historian and AI chat go with it. Add two more nodes to the same install and they form a self-syncing cluster: one active, two standby, all sharing a replicated historian over Raft consensus. A node can drop out and the machine never notices.
Every line keeps its own Edge node and its own local autonomy — nothing has to route through a central server to keep running. But each node also streams up to a federated layer that aggregates every line into one plant-wide historian, one set of cross-line KPIs, and one AI chat that can answer questions spanning the whole floor.
From the panel it ships in to the plant it runs — the Factorian Edge scales with you, not against you.
