Who It’s For

The VIA Smart Factory Operating System (SFOS)™ is ideal for U.S.-based, small to medium-sized discrete manufacturers with high-mix production, especially those in the DoD supply chain.

Whether you have enterprise resource planning in place or not, the VIA Smart Factory Operating System (SFOS)™ gives growing companies just what they need to stay flexible while scaling fast and effectively through a lightweight solution. Smart Factory also offers factory floor design and capacity optimization services to help you streamline at a facility level.

Our Why

We know that small to medium-sized producers are the backbone of the U.S. supply chain, as they’re uniquely positioned to produce a high mix of parts and assemblies. Some are the sole source of critical DoD parts.

With this in mind, we want to ensure our domestic producers have the tools to compete globally with larger producers already leveraging AI solutions to be more competitive. VIA Smart Factory makes US suppliers competitive with anyone in the world on cost, speed & quality; helping address critical national security onshoring and supply chain challenges
