Our Mission

"Simplify Factories. Unlock Productivity."

FactoryTwin™ software uses advanced algorithms to enable descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics of factory data to bring about a step improvement in factory operational metrics like delivery performance, quality issues, cash flow, and profitability.

Our Vision

"FactoryTwin will empower operational decision making at all complex SMB (Small & Medium sized Businesses) factories, irrespective of their size and industry."

SMBs are highly price sensitive, lack internal data science & software expertise, and are generally ignored by current manufacturing software vendors. FactoryTwin offers a much more comprehensive and affordable solution to their pain points.

Our Values

1. Do what you said you'll do.

2. Keep it simple.

3. Quality throughout.

4. Caring criticism, not blame.

5. Persistence in adversity.

We codified our values using the vision of our founder and active input from our team. We hold the above values sacrosanct and are guided by them "when no one is looking":

Our Team

Our Hopkins (MN) based team is comprised of computer scientists, mathematicians, data scientists, and engineers that design, develop, and support innovative factory optimization software to meet the operational needs of our customers. We are pros in data investigation, data cleansing, and developing user intuitive software to build the FactoryTwin of your own manufacturing operation.
