About Us

We are a team passionate about driving change and improvements in industrial processes.

 

FactoryMind was born out of a meeting room in Oslo, back in 2018, after noticing an industry-wide problem: AI projects tend to stay as proof-of-concepts without adding value to actual processes. Seeing the need for a better solution, we created an AI platform tailored to the needs of the industry. Inspired by our belief that things could be done better, we set out to bridge the gap between AI development and industrial applications. Working collaboratively with a multi-disciplinary team and an ambitious customer in the Biomass Process industry, we transformed the concept into reality.

 

Our vision extends beyond optimizing operations. We at FactoryMind aim to create a more sustainable world by providing industrial operations with data-driven insights.

FactoryMind has refined the concept, added a fully connected IIoT platform, and offered it all in a “one-stop shop” AI & IoT SaaS platform.

With FactoryMind, industrial companies can leverage artificial intelligence in their operations faster, easier, and less risky.
