1factory Reviews
Pros
Overall, I am very happy the implementation of the 1Factory software. Our operators love the ease of use, and the fact that they no longer have to transfer CMM data by hand.
I love 1factory's super clean and user friendly interface. It's totally intuitive and uncluttered.
Thank you to the support team this is amazing. I will recomendó it to all my friend in QC.
I have been in the Quality Assurance world for quite some time now and find that both new and seasoned persons would appreciate the simplistic, yet elegant, approach to quality.
Cons
Cutting the time to write monthly report which is now done by the click of a mouse.
I see most of the problem is when companies don't know how to evolve or change there procedures to make a tool work. I really don't have an issue enough to list a least liked feature of this software.
I find it hard to believe that this wouldn't work wonders for you.
That was QUICKLY remedied by Nipun and his staff. They're still hard at work adding more and more functionality and addressing all of our needs.
"Solved our quality team needs and added value to our customers."
Overall: Overall experience is 5 ⭐! Looking forward to more new features 😊
Pros: We wanted to improve one of our highly important process which is the new tooling full dimensional measurement process from ballooning the dimensions to measured data automation. 1factory PDF auto-ballooning and auto-uploading of CMM data solved our needs. 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.
"Best product available"
Overall: Excellent experience. I was able to impress all my customers by showing off 1factory.
Pros: 1Factory has everything you need. Everything is connected. The best part about 1Factory is the customer service. [sensitive content hidden] is always available for any question and he will respond within the hour and sometimes sets up a zoom meeting to explain and help.
Cons: Working with specific customers, we ran into an issue that our sampling plan is not available in 1factory. It's on the radar to be added in the future.
"Worth the Investment"
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!
Vendor Response
"Best Quality Management Software in the market"
Overall: We started exploring 1 factory last year against 5 different competitor products of 1 factory, 1 factory stands out in all the aspects of our selection and one can straightaway jump into using this with very minimalistic training, the support / issue resolution is top notch with every issues resolved in less than a day or as per the commitment given by 1 factory team. As of now we have more than 1000 inspections going on with 1 factory flawlessly and this is saving us lot of time and money, I would definitely like to recommend 1 factory for any company planning to invest in Quality management solutions. Thanks to [sensitive content hidden] who helped us right from the demo till product launch.
Pros: Ease of use, Auto ballooning, AS9102 Features, Version control of Inspection Plans, CMM upload options, Custom template, what not..
Cons: Nothing as of now, Everything looks easy and best in the business, I would say No CONS for 1 factory.
"So far away and yet so close"
Overall: 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.
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.
