Manufacturing Tomorrow | Using Open Software in Manufacturing

Factry, a Belgian software company, brings open software to the manufacturing industry through its services and products, including Factry Historian, which is built on top of InfluxDB. The shift towards open source in manufacturing is driven by trends such as Industrial IT, where historians play a crucial role in data management and analysis. Open source adoption in manufacturing companies is becoming increasingly popular due to the availability of protocols like OPC-UA and InfluxDB, making it possible for smaller companies to compete with larger ones. Historians are ripe for disruption, thanks to open software, allowing them to adapt to changing needs without significant functional changes. Factry has helped large companies transition from incumbent historian vendors to its own solution based on InfluxDB.
