Factbird Reviews & Product Details

Factbird is very quick and easy to set up. One of the biggest advantages for us is how easily existing sensor signals can be connected and read into the system. This allows you to start collecting real production data within a very short time and quickly gain transparency into your machines and processes.

Another major strength is the customer service. The Factbird team was very friendly, responsive and helpful, both during the initial setup and later when troubleshooting issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main limitation for us is the analysis and reporting functionality. While the standard functionality provides a good starting point, we would like to have more flexibility to customize the analysis to our specific requirements. In particular, a stronger alignment with the SEMI E10 standard would be very valuable for our use case.

Because of these limitations, we will most likely complement Factbird with additional Power BI reporting to create the detailed and customized analyses we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Factbird’s simplicity and ease of use. It makes production data easy to collect, visualize, and understand, and lets us quickly see what’s happening on the production flow without building a complex monitoring system. I especially like the real-time monitoring and clear visualization, which help us see what’s happening on the production line right away, identify downtime, performance losses, and changes in efficiency, and make faster data-driven decisions. It gives operators and management a clearer picture of the process. I also appreciate its flexibility, how quickly it can be implemented and adapted to different production processes, and how easy the initial setup is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Everything is the best. The best software I've ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Factbird convinced us from the start and provides real added value for production. The implementation was straightforward and completed within a few minutes. Immediately afterwards, we were able to track and evaluate the real-time data of our production lines. We were particularly impressed by how quickly Factbird can create transparency about the actual processes in production.

Our employees operate the system directly at the line via tablets and independently record the causes of disruptions. The user interface is clear, intuitively structured, and easy to understand. As a result, our teams quickly found their way around and enjoy using the solution in their daily work.

Factbird is based on a powerful cloud platform and required no complex integration into our existing system landscape. The software works very stably and is continuously developed further. Particularly helpful are the AI-supported analysis and search functions, which help to evaluate data faster and identify optimization potentials.

The support is also noteworthy. Although we rarely need assistance due to the high reliability of the system, a competent contact person is always available. The team is committed to addressing our concerns and also supports us with individual requirements. Additionally, new functions are regularly introduced, and active feedback on our experiences and wishes is solicited.

Another plus point is the licensing model. The costs are based on the sensors used and not on the number of users. This allows any number of employees to work with Factbird without incurring additional license costs.

Since the introduction, we have gained important insights into our processes, identified improvement potentials, and significantly increased our production performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, there are no significant points with which we are dissatisfied. The system runs very reliably, is easy to use, and fully meets our requirements. Particularly positive is that Factbird is continuously being developed further and the team actively responds to customer feedback. This means that new requirements and suggestions for improvement are continuously taken into account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Factbird invaluable for our plant as it helps us determine overall equipment efficiency in a modern way. It has provided us with a solution for counting the number of goods we produce, which is crucial for our operations. The camera detection feature is particularly useful for goods counting, and it's a tool that stands out from other competitors. Factbird offers a feature that enables us to do what we want to do, which is essential for our industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're in the beginning of the long way of establishing a good routine for training the camera for different goods. There's a lot of improvisation and missed scheduling. It's not an established process with a clear timeline, and there is a lot of uncertainty, but we can live with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Factbird allows us to measure operational metrics and display live production data while taking downtime logs digitally across 20 production lines nationwide. The instant piecerate feedback and superior downtime tracking are fantastic, and it lets the crew know when they're winning or losing. I find the setup super easy, and their fantastic customer support makes the experience even better. It's affordable, and the translate feature helps with our language barriers, making it easy for crews speaking English, Spanish, French, and more to interact with the system. The intuitive interaction is also great, especially when coding downtime. The demo, quick launch, having techs come to our site, practically 24/7 support, and ongoing launch meetings make Factbird service pretty complete. I barely needed maintenance or IT since I could do much of the setup myself. Even though RedZone was considered, I'd choose Factbird again, any day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it would be nice if batch entry was able to be automated more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides an immediate picture of the OEE situation and overall reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dependency on operators to accurately report the real cause of stops or downtime, and to record it at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very easy to navigate, and the graphs and visuals are also very nice to look at. It already has Pareto and cascade graphs ready to choose with one click. Support is also fast and ready to help. I also like that they are constantly developing the system, so new improvements will be added over time. You can always download the data into a datasheet to make your own analyses. And you can integrate it with Power BI, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is room for improvement in the customization, for example, being able to see OEE or main stops per shift, in a certain period. Also, it could be nice if one could generate nice reports to share with those who are not Factbird users. At the moment, one needs to take a screenshot if you want to reuse an OEE graph in a presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple inputs for operators, its been a painless and seamless installation and has given us data at the end of our fingertips without the need for paper work, making excel sheets and making graphs! Updates to the system keep on coming and make life much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An app would be great as we currently use Safari on Ipad this can often be slow and clumpy! It would be good to show the next batch on the current bath screen. It would be helpful if a screen could have multiple machine shift dash boards so multiple machines can be monitored at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Factbird is how easy it is to track and visualize production data. The dashboard makes it simple to monitor machine performance and downtime in real time. It’s useful for teams that want quick insights without needing complex systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Factbird is that some advanced analytics features are limited compared to larger industrial platforms. Integration with other systems can also take some effort depending on the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Responsive and friendly customer service, easy to set up, makes performance of production lines clear and easy to understand. You tube videos were quite clear and easily understood. AI insights are very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

False signals were a problem on one occasion. OEE is interpreted differently in different businesses, perhaps more time could have been spent on this or make tutorials available. I think there is more functionality that could be used that could be tailored for different businesses e.g. measurement of scrap with an additional sensor, measurement of product giveaway by getting a signal from a checkweigher Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
