Frequently Asked Questions

Simply contact your dedicated SFP account manager or email our Technical Solutions team to schedule your consultation. We’ll guide you through each step — from understanding your needs to configuring your factory dashboard.

During your session, our implementation engineer will connect with you virtually to review your factory’s data, identify key improvement areas, and demonstrate how SFP modules can optimize performance in real time.

SFP can work as a fully cloud-based solution, but for real-time data collection, we recommend using SFP Edge devices, which connect directly to your machines and automatically send production data to your dashboard.

Yes. SFP is designed for easy connectivity with major ERP and MES platforms. You can import and export production, planning, and workforce data seamlessly.

Implementation time depends on the scale of your factory. Most small and medium plants are fully operational within a few days after configuration and training.

Our support team offers continuous technical assistance, system updates, and performance reviews to ensure your system remains optimized and up to date.

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures how efficiently your equipment runs by combining Availability, Performance, and Quality.
A world-class OEE score is 85% or higher; most factories average 60%. SFP’s OEE module helps you pinpoint losses and improve productivity with real-time visual dashboards.

Install one or two sensors at your production line’s bottleneck, enter the cycle time, and SFP will automatically calculate Availability, Performance, and Quality.
Visual OEE boards then display live efficiency metrics across your shop floor, enabling fast and accurate decisions.

Yes. SFP supports standard protocols like MQTT, OPC, and REST API, enabling seamless connectivity with most ERP and MES systems.

Implementation depends on your factory’s scale.
Small and mid-size plants are typically live within a few days after device setup and team training.

Through the Skill Gap Management Platform, you can map employee competencies, identify capability gaps, and design learning paths based on the 10-20-70 model — ensuring your workforce stays future-ready.

Our technical team provides continuous monitoring, software updates, and remote troubleshooting.
We also conduct regular performance reviews to help you keep improving OEE, output, and workforce efficiency.

SFP uses enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access control, and secure cloud infrastructure to protect your factory’s information across all connected sites.

SFP serves mass-production factories such as automotive parts, packaging, glass, food, detergents, and machining.
Any facility using continuous or semi-automatic production lines can gain instant value from real-time monitoring and planning.

Factories using SFP typically see:
• Up to 20 % higher productivity through automated scheduling
• 15 – 25 % OEE improvement after the first few weeks
• Reduced downtime and faster decision-making via real-time visibility

OUR story
HB Smart Factory – Our Vision for Smart, Scalable Manufacturing Excellence
At HB Smart Factory, we believe that sustainable growth in modern manufacturing will only be achieved through digital transformation, real-time visibility, and intelligent planning. Today’s industrial landscape is shaped by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity — a true VUCA world — where companies must operate faster, smarter, and with greater precision than ever before.
To support our customers in this reality, HB Smart Factory is building a fully integrated ecosystem that reduces operational losses, increases productivity, and empowers factories to make decisions based on accurate, real-time data. Our mission is clear:
turn every factory into a smart, optimized, and future-ready operation.
Across industries, factories still struggle with hidden inefficiencies, non-standard processes, fragmented tools, and a lack of timely information. As a result, the true cost of non-performance — waste, downtime, speed loss, planning errors, and quality issues — is silently passed down the chain, ultimately impacting customers and profitability. We believe this should not be the norm.
HB Smart Factory is changing the standard.
Through our SFP platform and Edge Box hardware, we are building a unified operational framework where data, processes, and people connect seamlessly. This allows manufacturers to clearly see where value is created, where value is lost, and how to unlock the trapped potential that already exists inside their operations.
Our objective is to become a benchmark of smart manufacturing in the region, setting standards for transparency, accountability, and performance optimization. Achieving this requires consistent methodologies, integrated digital tools, and data-driven behaviors at every level of decision-making.
With real-time monitoring, advanced production planning, OEE analytics, skill-gap intelligence, and material planning dashboards all in one platform, we empower factories to exceed their performance targets—reducing losses, improving throughput, maximizing asset utilization, and enabling true End-to-End cost competitiveness.
The foundation of every efficient supply chain begins on the factory floor.
By digitizing operations and delivering clear, current, and actionable insights, HB Smart Factory helps manufacturers transform their operations from traditional to intelligent—and from intelligent to exceptional.
