FactoNode

FactoNode is a data acquisition (DAQ) device. Attach it to your machinery or asset. The device will gather
and send information to you. With remote access, you can access all of your assets’ data from the comfort
of your office. Whether your office is onsite, in another facility, or at home, you have access to FactoNode’s data.

A manufacturing execution system (MES) in a box

The FactoNode is a major differentiator in today’s market with its ability to connect to the cloud. Data collected from multiple machines across multiple locations can be accessed wherever you are. You will have remote access to real-time tracking and analytics.

The FactoNode is hardware for controls integration and data collection. It collects real-time data to be uploaded to the cloud-based FactoGrid. This modular device is extremely cost-effective hardware. With FactoNode, you are on your way to transitioning your manual or semi-automatic processes to total automation with remote capabilities.
OpteBiz’s hardware functions with external or inbuilt programmable logic controllers (PLC) in your machinery. With the attached database, we can eliminate layers in the integration process, bringing costs down significantly and embracing simplicity.

How It Works

The FactoNode is designed to monitor your device efficiently and reliably. Avoid manual data acquisition that is susceptible to redundancy and human error. Trust FactoNode to collect reliable, consistent data.

Connect your machine or asset to a FactoNode to begin gathering data. Embedded with MES analytical software, this hardware can be connected to a variety of machines or assets:

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machine
Tire Building Machine
Pharma Tablet Press
Stamping Press
Textile Machine
Injection Molding Machine
Die Casting Machine

What Do You Need To Track

The FactoNode is designed to meet your needs. It provides easy-to-use monitoring and control, feeding real time data to the FactoGrid.

FactoNode can be used for a variety of applications.
