Getting started & funding

Your own data. A funded start.

The road to a sovereign factory does not start with a million-euro project, but with a clearly scoped first step — funded by 60 to 80 percent.

§01 · The third way

Corporate suite

Expensive, licences rising year after year, locked to a single vendor.

Do it yourself

Island tools and Excel — nothing connects, nobody runs it reliably.

indystry

A proven, fully operated backbone of open building blocks — on your own hardware.

A manufacturing company in Styria runs its entire production on this stack — from order handling through machine data and quality to analysis.

What you see in the demo is not a showroom but lived practice: a company like yours that regained its data sovereignty — and would not give it back.

§02 · Funding levers
