Industries
If it has a factory or a plant, it has this problem
The systems differ by sector — and the gap between them does not. Every one of these plants runs an ERP that knows what was promised and a floor that knows what happened, with nothing joining the two.

These eight are the sectors we are asked about most often, not the sectors the product works in. Nothing in FactoryThread is sector specific: it reads databases, files, APIs and machines, and none of those care what is being built on the line.
If your plant runs something none of these pages names, that is a Connection question rather than an industry question — and the honest answer is on the Connections page, which lists what ships and says plainly that anything with a REST, OData or SOAP endpoint is reachable whether or not it appears there.
