Production monitoring software
Improvement starts with reliable data. Factbird helps you effortlessly monitor equipment and line performance and identify production bottlenecks, helping you make smarter decisions and minimize downtime.
Powering the world’s best manufacturers
Why manufacturers need real-time production monitoring
Many manufacturers operate without a clear, unified view of their production:
- Data is fragmented across systems
- Downtime often goes unnoticed
- Teams are stuck using outdated reports
The result is slower decisions, hidden inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for improvement. Without real-time visibility across machines, lines, and teams, it's nearly impossible to spot problems quickly or drive consistent progress.
What production monitoring software can do for your factory
Factbird's realtime insights keep you in touch with your operations. Know if you're behind or ahead and what is causing downtime. From individual lines to entire factories, use data to create a culture of reproducible success.

Factbird's production monitoring software features
See how you can drive informed decisions with actionable insights and empower your teams to increase efficiecny and reduce waste.
Monitor live production metrics
Stay informed about your live production output, cycle speed, value-adding time, longest non-stop operation, cycle time, the number of stops, and many other KPIs.
Downtime and OEE analysis
Identify areas for improvement in production processes and ensure that your equipment is used to its full potential to improve efficiency, sustainability, and profitability.
Factbird's OEE software has been helping industry-leaders since 2016 and is a proven tool for effectively increasing OEE and long-term competitiveness.
Boost your overall equipment efficiency
Detect and address bottlenecks, inefficiencies, equipment failures, and quality issues while actively implementing measures to prevent their recurrence.
Built-in OEE calculators deliver valuable insights into the performance of equipment and your production process as a whole.
See how you're doing, in real-time
Know how your production is tracking, from the shop floor to the executive suite.
Gain visibility into batch performance, check how you're tracking against targets, and act with confidence thanks to knowing the facts.
Manage performance across multi-site organizations
Quickly gain a comprehensive view of your manufacturing at all levels, from total regional performance to individual sites, or from division totals to individual lines and assets.
Gain clear insights from complex data with AI
The Assistant uses AI technology to interpret and analyze complex data, combining various data within Factbird to provide actionable information quickly, saving you time and effort compared to doing it yourself.
One operator interface that keeps it all on track
An interface that guides operators through the shift by showing what’s critical now, progress as it happens, and the next steps to stay ahead. So production runs smoothly and data stays reliable.
See what stopped your line
Take the guesswork out of your production process.
Quickly and easily identify the root cause of stops by just clicking on the data point, and watching the video. You’ll get actual video footage of the line at the exact moment to diagnose and fix problems straight away.
Digitize quality control processes
Unlock detailed insights into manual sub-processes with Factbird's digital scrap counting feature. Increasing visibility will help your quality and compliance management, and will significantly boost your operation’s effectiveness. Leverage Factbird to gain a more detailed assesment of quality losses, such as scrap and waste types, by batch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in Factbird's production monitoring system?
Factbird includes hardware (IIoT edge devices, sensors, cameras, barcode scanners), cloud software (dashboards, OEE tracking, downtime analysis, AI-driven analytics), unlimited user access, video synced with production data, digital stop-cause registration, batch tracking, scrap counting, integrations with Power BI and Tableau, and much, much more.
The system scales easily across multiple lines and sites with no limits on data inputs or users.
How quickly can we see results with Factbird?
Most customers see actionable insights within hours of installation. Real OEE improvements typically follow within weeks as teams identify quick wins. Based on customer data between 2016 and 2022, manufacturers using Factbird improved OEE by an average of 10-25% within the first year.
Can Factbird work with older equipment?
Yes. Factbird® DUO and other Factbird edge devices retrofit onto legacy machinery without expensive upgrades or infrastructure overhauls.
How does Factbird monitor production lines?
Factbird uses plug-and-play IIoT edge devices, cameras, Kepware integration, and direct PLC integrations to capture production data automatically.
For example, you connect a sensor to your line to count using Factbird® DUO and timestamp product flow, or integrate with existing PLCs via OPC UA. Data is sent securely to the cloud, where it's instantly visualized in the app.
Installation of the Factbird® DUO takes under an hour without stopping production.
What is production monitoring software?
Production monitoring software automatically collects and analyzes data from your production lines in real-time. It tracks metrics like:
- Units produced and cycle time
- Downtime causes and duration
- OEE and equipment performance
- Scrap rates and quality issues
Instead of relying on manual reporting or outdated spreadsheets, the software centralizes data and makes it accessible across your organization, helping you spot inefficiencies and respond to problems faster.
Trusted by hundreds of manufacturers.
