Case Study: 80 Acres Farms replaces handwritten downtime logs with real-time production data with Factbird

80 Acres Farms replaces paper logs with Factbird in 48 hours

80 Acres Farms, a modern indoor food producer, faced a challenge common in manufacturing: their production lines were running on instinct instead of information. Downtime was tracked on unreliable paper logs, leading to mediocre data that hindered data-driven decision making. To solve this, they turned to vendor Factbird for a real-time data capture solution.

Factbird implemented a system that automatically captured downtime, machine rates, and throughput. The solution was installed quickly and featured intuitive dashboards with Spanish-language support, which drove high adoption on the floor. The result was a cultural shift from subjective opinions to objective truths, giving operators and leadership a shared language for performance. The implementation built enough proof that operations teams are now asking for more Factbird lines.
