1factory connects inspection planning with manufacturing measurements and quality follow-up. Evaluate a drawing revision, its inspection characteristics and the resulting measurements together. The range also includes supplier collaboration and QMS records; identify the purchased roles and options before treating those workflows as one licence.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
Manufacturers managing part-level inspection evidence, first article reports and process variation alongside quality records. File import, automated equipment capture and ERP interfaces have different setup and commercial requirements. Confirm the device output, purchased options and validation responsibilities in your proposed environment.
1factory can justify its minimum QC subscription when drawing-linked inspection and first-article evidence are routine manufacturing work. It is less attractive for occasional checklist use or if buyers assume QMS, supplier collaboration and ERP interfaces are included in the QC seat price.
Watch for: Multiple licensing units require a combined proposal. API and automated equipment options need Enterprise scoping.
Published price: $75/QC user/month (5 minimum; billed annually); currency unconfirmed. Sources checked .
Vendor visuals—not a QHSEtech hands-on test.
1factory separates Quality Control, Supplier Collaboration and Quality Management System subscriptions. Standard and Enterprise options have different entitlements; a manufacturing inspection workflow is not the same as an audit programme. Quality Control, Supplier Collaboration and QMS have separate licensing units. Automated CMM imports, API access and specialist hosting are Enterprise options. Do not infer a released MES from the quality-control scope.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection planning and FAI | Documented by vendor | Manufacturing scope includes drawing ballooning and first article reporting. Verify the required AS9102 revision and customer form output. Manufacturing inspection, FAI and SPC scope |
| SPC and capability analysis | Documented by vendor | Published manufacturing analysis scope; suitable sampling and interpretation remain process-specific. Manufacturing inspection, FAI and SPC scope |
| Automated CMM and vision import | Depends on scope | Distinct from selected-file import. Match Enterprise options and actual equipment output before assuming connectivity. CMM file import and automatic captureCurrent subscription units and Enterprise options |
| ERP and PLM data interfaces | Depends on scope | APIs cover part/order inputs and inspection/measurement retrieval. Published APIs do not prove a turnkey connector to your system. API objects and integration boundariesCurrent subscription units and Enterprise options |
| Document, training and audit records | Depends on scope | QMS scope is separately licensed; demonstrate audit scheduling, findings and reviewed closure for your programme. Quality management system scopeCurrent subscription units and Enterprise options |
| Offline inspection synchronization | Not verified | Not established by the reviewed material. |
| Incoming inspection and risk-based sampling | Documented by vendor | Incoming Quality supports receiving-inspection plans, certificates, dimensional or visual results, supplier scorecards and stricter or reduced sampling based on part and supplier risk. Sampling changes still require an approved statistical and customer-specific policy; confirm whether IQC is in the purchased QC scope. Incoming inspection, risk-based sampling and supplier scorecards |
| Gage calibration and measurement-system analysis | Documented by vendor | The gage module covers calibration schedules and reminders, internal or vendor calibration records, barcode issue/return, gage kits, links from gages to inspection lots and Gage R&R studies. Buyers should test out-of-tolerance impact assessment and confirm the required study method and acceptance criteria rather than rely on default calculations. Gage calibration schedules, transactions and measurement-system analysis |
| NCR, CAPA, SCAR and complaint workflows | Depends on scope | The separately licensed QMS scope supports nonconformances, tasks, CAPAs, 8D supplier corrective actions, complaints and audit findings with notifications and escalations. Demonstrate disposition authority, effectiveness verification and closure controls; issue tracking does not by itself establish regulatory complaint or adverse-event reporting compliance. NCR, CAPA, SCAR, complaint and audit-finding workflowsQuality management system scope |
| Validated environment and electronic signatures | Depends on scope | 1factory describes a separate validated instance, release verification packages, role-based controls, change history and an optional electronic-signature function. Its guidance explicitly assigns intended-use definition, risk assessment, testing and validation records to the customer; vendor verification evidence does not complete customer validation. Validated-instance responsibilities and electronic-signature controls |
| GOV hosting environment | Depends on scope | The vendor states that its GOV environment achieved FedRAMP Moderate Equivalence following a 3PAO assessment and is intended for CUI workloads. This is environment-specific and must be contracted and evidenced with current assessment documents; do not apply the claim automatically to the standard commercial environment or treat it as an agency Authorization to Operate.

Separate named-user and connected-supplier subscriptions
Entry price as recorded: $75/QC user/month (5 minimum; billed annually); currency unconfirmed.
Pricing sources checked : Checked against the vendor's published pricing.
The 1factory pricing page has 3 published prices (unit, term, minimum and source) and the entry cost worked out.
Test connection loss, queued measurements and recovery in the actual deployment.
The reviewed official pricing and demo pages do not publish one standard implementation duration. Request a dated plan for drawing and master-data preparation, CMM mapping, ERP interfaces, validation, training and acceptance using your representative part.
No independently verified, product-specific review aggregate is asserted here. This profile evaluates official product, pricing and technical documentation; use reference calls and your own demonstration results as separate evidence.
The current pricing page uses QC users, QMS users and connected suppliers as different billing units. Scope the required purchases together.
No. Selected-file and automated capture are separate paths. Demonstrate your file format, mapping and selected options.
The vendor documents APIs. Confirm your interface implementation, entitlement, error handling and support; API availability alone is not a turnkey integration.
No. Validate the report revision, required fields and evidence with your customer and quality team.
The official page is a demonstration request. A free trial was not established by this review.
The reviewed Traveler/MES page shows the label "(Available: Dec 2026)" beside its manufacturing execution heading, which this record reads as December 2026 availability. Confirm release status separately; this profile does not treat it as already delivered.
