microfactory
Production systems · Scriptable to the metal

The factory floor,
programmable.

microfactory builds the scanners and label printers — and the CLI-driven, agent-ready software that wires them all together. Every step traceable, every machine scriptable. The hardware is yours: no mandatory subscription.

What we build

Traceability

Scan every unit at every station. Look up any serial in seconds — and when a supplier flags a bad lot, pull the where-used recall list instantly.

Devices

Bench scanners and label printers, wrapped in CLIs and Bluetooth so they're headless and scriptable — no drivers, ever.

Scriptable & agent-ready

One Rust CLI drives every device — headless, agent-friendly, to the metal. First-class AI control ships after the hardware pilot.

The recall drill

A supplier flags a bad lot. Which units shipped with it?

01

Paste the lot

A supplier flags PCB lot LOT-PCB-0424. Paste it into Traceability — no SQL, no spreadsheet archaeology.

See every affected unit

The where-used query answers with each unit that consumed the lot, and the station that recorded it.

One system, end to end

From the printer to the dashboard — one calibrated stack.

Hardware, firmware, and software designed together, so your floor runs as one machine — not a pile of disconnected tools. This is HQ: the stations, devices, and live scan feed of a running line.

How it works

One decision. Everything else is automatic.

01

Plug in

Connect the scanner and label printer to your network. The gateway dials out — no inbound ports, no drivers.

02

Enter the claim code

Every device ships with a printed claim code. Type it into HQ — that's the one decision you make.

03

Devices adopt themselves

Watch the line come up on the dashboard: discovered → adopting → online.

04

Every scan becomes genealogy

Record a component lot once at the station — query it forever. Each scan lands in the unit's history the moment it happens.
