Available as both a cloud-based and on-premise platform, the platform includes tools for a wide range of quality control activities, such as developing quality control plans, conducting first article inspections (FAI), managing incoming, in-process and final inspections, monitoring factory performance, controlling variation through statistical process control (SPC), handling inspection data and addressing non-conformances and corrective actions (CAPA). The first article inspection module streamlines workflows by automatically reading drawing features. Users can add balloons, specify tolerances, capture data zones and extract dimensional data from digital gages, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), or upload files in formats such as .csv and .xlsx. Reports are generated in formats compliant with standards like AS9102, ensuring consistency and easy sharing. Inspection data is traceable to work orders, serial numbers, dates, inspectors and measurement gages. Real-time capabilities include process capability calculations and variation monitoring through histograms, run charts and SPC tools. Dashboards built into the tool display key metrics such as supplier performance and defective pareto analyses, providing actionable insights. The integrated non-conformance and CAPA modules facilitate problem-solving and drive continuous improvement. Key features include automatic drawing ballooning, quality control plans, first article inspections, AS9102 reporting, automated CMM data import, SPC, gage calibration management, non-conformance reporting (NCR), supplier corrective action requests (SCAR), audit findings tracking and supplier collaboration capabilities. The platform supports validated software requirements, enhancing security and compliance for critical industry standards. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 43 users.

Our customers were very satisfied as we are providing faster and more accurate reports. Our in-process inspection became more productive and efficient after using the QC Plan, Inspection and Analytics features. We had productivity gain of about 20% after using 1factory on our production quality control, eliminating use of paper-based data recording and human error in recording and data entry. Since all data is digitised, we've speed up the traceability time of historical data during customers and third parties audit. The historical data provided us a quick visual view of our manufacturing performance thus providing confidence and assurance to our customers. Customer service was prompt, patience and supportive in responding to our enquiries.We also like the continuous improvement and adding of features such as PPAP, Gage GR\&R.One great delighters was the Chinese language subtitles training videos and the user interface. It's so thoughtful and it helped our users to learn and embrace the software with ease. > > **Cons**: We were not familiar with some features and functions but the 1factory folks were always patience and supportive in helping us to learn and master them. > > Overall experience is 5 ⭐\! Looking forward to more new features 😊 ----- ### "1Factory - a welcomed application" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 January 2025* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well designed, easy to use, quick/easy access to raw data downloads in each of the modules. > > **Cons**: Not all data is available to download. Missing ability to Mass Update (for e.g., in instances of multiple variants of Supplier/Vendor Names). Very weak reporting options. > > 1Factory is a relatively new application, so there are various opportunities for improvement, but the support staff is unbelievably good - very quick to respond to issues/suggestions. Very helpful. ----- ### "Worth the Investment" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *29 March 2018* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you work in Quality Control, this will be the most powerful tool you can use day-to-day. Within days our production floor experienced 40% less non-conformances . As a defense contractor, our customers appreciated the AS9102 format and our inspectors now spend more time actually inspecting now that reports are seamlessly generated. > > **Cons**: There is a slight learning curve for this software, but this can be easily overcome even for the most basic user. Just make sure you spend the time reading the tutorials/introduction training - you won't regret it\! ----- ### "Best product available" — 5.0/5 > **Mouhamad** | *15 August 2024* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1Factory has everything you need.

It's on the radar to be added in the future. > > Excellent experience. I was able to impress all my customers by showing off 1factory. ----- ### "So far away and yet so close" — 5.0/5 > **Pia** | *24 February 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is so easy to baloon the drawings, and to update excisting drawing in case of change. Very fast to create new controlplans and FMEAs and to update the FMEA due to customer complaints. Before making inspection, you check the calibration og your gage and it is linked to your measurements. > > **Cons**: I would like more options in the analysis tool. Fx. select how many NCR's we have had for each process pr. month. > > I'm very happy for all the help and support that we receive from the 1factory team\! If I have a question, I will have the response within max. 24 hours. The theam takes all improvement initiatives very serious, I we have already receiced a lot of changes/updates in our system. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/42840/1factory?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/42840/1factory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
