- Native protocols: Connect via MQTT and OPC UA (Kepware).
- Edge-ready: Process data locally before sending it to the cloud.
- Flexible deployment: Support for on-premises, cloud, or hybrid setups.
- Secure by design: Encrypted transmission and controlled access.
Build deeper integrations with full API access
Our open GraphQL API gives your engineering and IT teams the freedom to integrate Factbird data into your existing applications or build new solutions around it. Pull production data into dashboards, trigger workflows in other software, or connect to custom analytics platforms.
- Query live or historical data programmatically
- Automate workflows and reporting
- Integrate with third-party systems or custom-built apps
Turn production events into instant actions across your business
Connect Factbird with the systems you already use, such as ERP, BI, or MES, by sharing key production events the moment they happen. This helps automate workflows, reduce manual work, and keep information consistent across your operations.
Factbird immediately sends that data to your chosen endpoint - notifying for example your ERP system that a batch has been produced which needs to trigger an order status update, an inventory adjustment, or start the next process automatically.
- Push data instantly as events occur
- Automate routine workflows without manual input
- Eliminate delays and data silos across systems

Frequently Asked Questions
How do MQTT clients work?
MQTT clients are the end users of the communication system. Clients can both publish messages on a specific topic and subscribe to topics to receive messages. Each client is identified by a client ID, which helps in distinguishing between different clients in the system.
