1Factory has a fairly steep learning curve for some of the more advanced features, and it is sometimes difficult to navigate menus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 1factory solving and how is that benefiting you?

1Factory has completley taken over our FAI generation, quality planning, and data collection. Much easier to keep track of things than the pen-and-paper method Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 1factory?

1factory is a simple product to use in any setting and for any skill level employee. The team at 1factory was extremely knowledgeable and easily picked up on our business processes and requirements. Our timeline to implement was extremely tight and they worked tirelessly to help us hit our targets. The level of communication we received from 1factory was some of the best I have ever seen! They scheduled weekly reviews, sent action sheets out after each meeting and were available whenever a call was needed. Simply put, the entire team was pleasant to work with. If you are looking for a solution that is easy to use, a team that can meet your needs and a simple process, 1factory is the software for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 1factory?

From first contact to implementation, the process was efficient and made easy. There is nothing I dislike about working with 1factory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 1factory solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a software that could balloon drawings, help create inspection plans, control plans, PFMEA, record in-process inspection, pull data from 23 different CMMs and various Bluetooth inspection devices, record calibration data and be easy to use for all skill levels.

The 1factory solution will speed up all of our processes in Operations and Quality. We are able to condense 5 different quality systems into one easy to use system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 1factory?

Huge time saver creating Manufacturing plan, FAIR Bubble Drawings, and CMM data import! This software is intuitive and in our experience training is a walk-through on how we use it. Being able to automatically record hundreds of dimensions electronically via our CMM's is quick and easy; recalling data with filters helps us review feature performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 1factory?

1factory's customer support has always cared and listened to any issues we might have in the way that we use the software. They have always shown a sense of urgency when issues are detected and create a solution in a reasonable time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 1factory?

Specifically designed for collecting inspection data as required for monitoring and analysis purpose. Extremely easy for entering inspections data & quality inspectors can smoothly handle entire software. Data retrieval by single click and customized searching of data available. Control on changes in inspection plan or report makes this software completely reliable. Real time data access through cloud based system makes controlling manufacturing remotely. Real time graphs of any parameter provide you the monitoring of current trend of manufacturing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 1factory?

After using 1factory more than 1.5 years, still no drawback observed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 1factory solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have moved from preparing inspection reports in Excel to 1factory software. This saves our lot of time of preparation of reports & concentrate on Quality inspection activities. We have some complex requirements like different stages of inspection, different parameters as per inspection stages & different sampling plans for different parameters and inspection stages. All this managed to incorporate in 1factoy software easily. All our inspection plans, measuring methods, sampling criteria etc. remain as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 1factory?

The 1Factory software has many benefits and has helped reduce errors related to sending out of spec parts to our customers by identifying keying entry errors and actual out-of-spec conditions as they occur during data entry. The ability to add Mfg & Inspection Plans allows for consistent data input & automated inspection with the ability to graphically view trends & overall capability analyses. The report output also adds to the reduction of "transfer of information" errors and contains all information in a common repository for easy retrieval of both current and historical data. The ability to output FAI reporting data with automated linkage to drawings is an additional strength that has been helpful over the past few years of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 1factory?

The linkage of the customer's part number to our own internal part number doesn't seem to allow search of part number through the use of the internal part number which is actually used more than the customer's part number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 1factory solving and how is that benefiting you?

FAI reports are easier to manage. Data transfer errors are reduced for inspection reports. Data that is out of spec for an actual OOS condition, or for keying errors is immediately identifiable. Working towards be able to capture inspection data as it happens for real time inspection data entry instead of transfer of info at time of shipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
