1factory

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.

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.

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!

Pros

Ease of use creating and revising inspection plans - the workflow is fast. Easily update a specification or an entire rev change in minutes. The automatic data analytics within the plans is also a huge time saver.

Having the non-conforming (NCR) reporting within the QC system and linked to specific dimension(s) is also hugely beneficial within the QC system.

Cons

Data backup doesn't save out ballooned drawings.

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.
