This year, our Platform got a makeover! 🎨

We've rolled out a structured, AI-based layout that prioritises clarity and speed. 5 pillars are now the base of our Platform: Connect, Plan, Operate, Accelerate, Analyse - so you get the full picture of your operations at a glance.

As the companies' operations get more mobile, we've brought desktop-level functionality to phones and tablets. Clarity shouldn't depend on screen size, or where you’re checking data from. Credit to our design team for making it happen! 🙌

Check out our new website now, for a full immersion in the industries we're approaching and the functionalities we're bringing!

One operational intelligence platform for OEE, predictive maintenance, supply chain visibility and AI agents - across manufacturing, energy and logistics.

Celebrating 30 Years of Automotive Excellence with ACAROM! 🚗🇷🇴

The past few days were all about honouring the past while building the future of the automotive industry. KFactory® had the privilege of attending the special event celebrating 30 years of ACAROM (Asociația Constructorilor de Automobile din România)!

For three decades, ACAROM has been the driving force behind Romania’s automotive success, fostering collaboration, growth, and industrial evolution.
As we look toward the next era of manufacturing, the conversation naturally turns to digitalisation, AI agents, and how technology can help automotive suppliers maintain their competitive edge on the global stage.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Adrian Sandu, General Secretary of ACAROM. We really appreciate your continued trust, open dialogue, and the incredible support you have consistently shown for KFactory and our vision of an autonomous, efficient shop floor. Your dedication to championing innovation is what keeps this industry moving forward.

Congratulations to the entire ACAROM team on this incredible milestone! Here’s to the next 30 years of driving innovation together. 🙌

KFactory at BSDA 2026! 🇷🇴🛡️

The future of defence isn’t just about the hardware - it’s about the intelligence behind it!

Our Co-founder, Vlad Cazan, spent a productive few days at BSDA (Black Sea Defense, Aerospace and Security) here in Bucharest. It was an incredible gathering of the biggest names in defense and tech, and we were thrilled to be part of the conversation.

Why was KFactory there? Because whether you’re running a factory floor or a complex defence operation, the challenges are the same:
✅ How do we make faster, smarter decisions?
✅ How do we bridge the gap between human expertise and automated data?
✅ How do we ensure "speed to impact" in high-stakes environments?

Vlad had some great discussions with potential partners about how our Virtual Engineers and AI-driven systems are helping organizations move toward a more autonomous, efficient future.

A big shoutout to the organizers at Romaero S.A. for putting together such a massive edition for the 20th anniversary. We’re excited to see where these new connections take us!

Three shifts we're seeing on European shop floors right now 👇

1. AI pilots are over - the conversation is now about scaling across lines.
2. Energy and OEE belong in the same sentence.
3. The hard part isn't collecting data anymore - it's trusting it.

Sound familiar? Tell us what you're seeing in your plant.

Where ideas start to take shape. ✨

We believe that great business models aren't just designed - they’re engineered. Our Co-Founder, Vlad Cazan, recently joined the InnovX Academy at SNSPA to dive deep into the engine room of business strategy: Key Activities & Key Resources.

Vlad shared KFactory’s practical approach to aligning operations with strategic ex*****on, helping students move beyond theory into real-world application.

A huge thank you to Adina Saniuta, Ph.D. and Scoala Nationala de Studii Politice si Administrative (SNSPA) for the invitation. It’s an honor to help these students transition from learning frameworks to thinking like entrepreneurs.

Last week, the Get Ready workshop marked the start of our journey on this Innovate UK Global Business Innovation Programme. We immersed ourselves in the AI-enhanced manufacturing landscape, exploring new insights and identifying fresh opportunities to harness the power of AI to drive productivity and innovation across the manufacturing sector.

It was also a great opportunity to connect and collaborate with fellow innovative UK companies, fostering a strong community where shared ideas and partnerships can unlock real potential.

A big thank you to the Innovate UK Business Connect team for the support and for bringing together such a valuable opportunity for us. We’re excited to continue this journey and explore how Innovate UK can support us in driving global opportunities.
