About Factorymaker

factorymaker is building AI design agents for the industrial world. We turn complex factory and infrastructure planning into intelligent, data-driven decision systems. We connect building, process, and site data within an intelligent decision space that enables companies to solve complex operational and strategic challenges in a data-driven way. Our technology automates analysis, planning, and optimization processes and transforms infrastructure into an active performance lever — instead of a static cost factor. In this way, we help industrial companies use space more efficiently, improve workflows, and make well-informed investment decisions. We are a Vienna-based deep-tech company building the next generation of AI-powered decision and optimization systems for industrial organizations.
