FactoryApps: A smarter way to digitise your factory floor

Every factory is different. Products, processes, equipment, operators, and customer requirements all vary, yet most manufacturing software expects you to work within fixed workflows.

From intake and stock control to production data capture, weighing, labelling, and equipment integration, FactoryApps gives operations teams the power to create workflows that fit their factory, without the limitations of off-the-shelf  software. 

Using configurable workflows, built-in validation, device connectivity, and seamless integration with the wider FoodOps platform, FactoryApps helps manufacturers digitise processes without lengthy development projects, disruptive system changes, or reliance on disconnected solutions.

Composable Data Capture

Flexible factory applications, built around your operations

FactoryApps is FoodOps’ composable factory data capture platform, designed to mirror how your production actually runs. Build operator-friendly applications using the no-code app studio, tailored to your lines, shifts, and equipment.

Instead of adapting your operations to fit software, FactoryApp lets you design apps that fit your floor, ensuring data capture feels natural, accurate, and consistent across sites and shifts.

Customer Success

Fresh Intake Process: From Excel to FactoryApps in just 5 days

Within the first five days of implementation, Abbey View Produce built and deployed a fully tailored multi-step intake workflow using the FactoryApp platform.

By capturing and validating all intake requirements, booking each pallet directly into stock, FactoryApps deliver a more accurate, efficient, and traceable intake operation.

Real-time data

Turn Data Into Real-Time Control

Transforms data from a passive record into an active control layer on the floor using FactoryApp.

Validation, checks, and decision logic are embedded directly into operator workflows and reinforced through devices like scanners, scales, and printers.

The right action happens at the right moment—building confidence, consistency, and control directly into day-to-day operations

Built for Food Manufacturers

Build. Change. Improve.

Factories change constantly: products, processes, and priorities evolve. With FactoryApp, application change is no longer a development project — it becomes an operational capability.

Teams can create, adapt, and extend apps without coding, introducing new workflows in days instead of months. This flexibility drives continuous improvement, reduces risk, and ensures your factory can keep pace with changing demands.

Frequently asked questions

Can FactoryApps reflect the way our factory actually operates?

Yes. FactoryApps are built to mirror your physical layout, equipment, roles, and working practices. Apps are defined by how your factory runs, not by generic templates, ensuring accurate and operator-friendly data capture.

What’s the ROI of using FactoryApps?

FactoryApps deliver transparent ROI through reduced downtime, fewer errors, faster change implementation, and improved efficiency. Because improvements are measurable in real time, teams can clearly see the impact of changes on performance and cost.

Who can build and manage FactoryApps?

FactoryApps is designed for operations, quality, and technical teams. Anyone who understands the factory process can create and update apps, with appropriate permissions and governance in place.

What does “no-code” really mean for factory teams?

No-code means factory apps can be built, changed, and extended without writing software code using drag and drop builder. Operational teams can design workflows, forms, and logic using visual tools—without relying on developers or long IT projects.

How do FactoryApps improve operator adoption?

Apps are designed to feel natural to operators, aligning with real-world processes on the line. Clear workflows, built-in validation, and native device integration reduce errors and make daily tasks easier.

How quickly can we make changes to apps or workflows?

Changes can typically be made in days, not months. New products, checks, or workflows can be introduced quickly without the cost, risk, or delays of bespoke development.

What types of data can FactoryApps capture?

FactoryApps support production, quality, traceability, maintenance, and compliance data. It also integrates directly with devices such as scanners, scales, and printers for accurate, real-time capture.

How does FactoryApp turn data capture into process control?

Validation rules, checks, and decision logic are embedded directly into workflows. This ensures the right actions happen at the right time—preventing errors rather than simply recording them.

Does FactoryApp integrate with existing systems?

Yes. FactoryApp integrates seamlessly with devices, production systems, and the wider FoodOps platform, ensuring data flows across your factory without duplication or silos.

How do FactoryApps support compliance and traceability?

Connected, validated data creates a clear digital record of what happened, when, and where. This simplifies audits, accelerates investigations, and supports end-to-end traceability.
