Built for the realities of auto component and EV shop floors.
From forging and machining to battery pack assembly and final fitment — FactorialOS gives auto component makers, sub-assembly plants, and EV manufacturers the live visibility, part-by-part traceability, and process control today’s OEMs expect.
What makes automotive and EV manufacturing hard
OEMs keep raising the bar — tighter delivery windows, stricter quality, full traceability per VIN or pack serial. EV adds new layers: cell chemistry, thermal limits, BMS firmware, and safety standards that leave zero room for guesswork.
JIT/JIS pressure from OEMs
Tier-1 customers expect parts within hours of the slot, sequenced to the build line. One missed dispatch becomes a line-stop charge.
Long, multi-stage routings
Forging, machining, heat treatment, grinding, plating, assembly. Work jumps between in-house cells and outside vendors. Tracking it on paper is guesswork.
High-mix, low-volume reality
Dozens of part numbers, multiple customers, frequent model variants. Setups eat into capacity. Planning by spreadsheet falls apart by mid-shift.
Traceability per VIN, per pack
IATF 16949 for ICE, IEC 62660 and UNECE R100 for EV batteries. You need to prove which heat number, which cell lot, which operator, and which test result is tied to every part you ship.
ECNs every other week
Drawings change. BOMs change. Tolerances tighten. Without a system, old revisions stay on the floor and rework costs you both yield and your customer’s trust.
EV-specific process control
Cell sorting and grading, pack assembly torque limits, EOL test pass criteria, BMS firmware version per pack — one missed parameter and the whole batch is at risk.
How FactorialOS handles it
One platform that models your real routings — whether you’re machining gears or assembling battery packs — and gives planners, supervisors, and operators the same live picture.
Live tracking from raw material to dispatch
Every job, on every machine, in every cell — with status, quantity, and operator visible in real time. Supervisors stop running between cells to ask “where are we?”.
Routings that match your real process
Multi-stage operations, sub-assemblies, parallel paths, vendor steps, rework loops — all modeled the way your floor actually runs. Not the way a textbook says it should.
Full traceability — ICE or EV
Heat number, raw material lot, cell lot, machine, operator, torque reading, EOL test — tied to every part or pack you ship. Pull a complete history in seconds, even years later.
Battery cell genealogy & pack assembly
Track cell sorting and grading, module-to-pack assembly, torque and weld parameters, BMS firmware version, and EOL test results — all stitched to the pack serial number.
Latest revision — always on the floor
When an ECN drops, the new drawings, tolerances, and inspection criteria reach every workstation instantly. Old revisions get blocked. No surprises during PPAP.
Vendor and job-work coordination
Track parts that leave for plating, heat treatment, or machining outside — with quantity, dispatch date, and expected return. No more Excel reconciliations at month-end.
Where it fits in your plant
Tier 2/3 component shops, sub-assembly lines, EV battery and powertrain plants — one platform that fits all of it.
Auto component manufacturing
Forgings, castings, machined parts, gears, shafts, fasteners, stampings. Run high-mix lines with full traceability back to heat number, ready for any OEM audit.
- Heat-number-level lot traceability
- Operation-by-operation routing across cells
- Live OEE per machine and per shift
Assembly & sub-assembly lines
Engine sub-assemblies, transmissions, brakes, suspension modules, wiring harnesses. Sequence to OEM build order with poka-yoke-style guidance for every operator.
- Step-by-step operator instructions with drawings
- Torque, leak, and functional test capture
- Sequenced dispatch by VIN or build slot
Battery cell, module & pack assembly
Cell sorting and grading, module build, pack assembly, BMS integration, end-of-line test. Every pack stitched to its cells, torque values, and firmware version.
- Cell-to-pack genealogy with full audit trail
- Torque, weld, and EOL test result capture
- BMS firmware version tracked per pack
EV motors, inverters & chargers
Stator winding, rotor assembly, inverter electronics, charger builds. Tight process windows, electrical test, and hi-pot results captured for every unit.
- Process parameter logging per build
- Electrical and hi-pot test capture
- Component-level genealogy for warranty
What changes after FactorialOS
Real shifts auto component, sub-assembly, and EV manufacturers see in the first few months on the floor.
On-time delivery you can defend
OTIF goes from a guess to a number. Late jobs surface early, not at the dispatch dock.
More output from the same shop
OEE climbs as setup time, idle time, and changeover losses become visible — and fixable.
Audits stop being a fire drill
IATF, ISO, customer audits — the records are already there. Pull them up, walk the auditor through, done.
Lower rejections and rework
Defects get caught at the operation, not at final inspection. First-pass yield improves, scrap drops.
Supervisors stop firefighting
Live dashboards mean fewer cell-to-cell sprints, fewer phone calls, fewer end-of-shift reconciliations.
Ready when the OEM scales you up
New programs, new lines, new plants — same system. No spreadsheet re-build, no second software stack.
