# Traceable, secure software for Eskişehir’s rail, aerospace and ceramics makers. > Traceability, quality data and AI for rail, aerospace, ceramics and appliance suppliers in Eskişehir, engineered from ALGOFACT’s Adana and Ankara offices. Source: https://www.algofact.tech/en/locations/eskisehir Language: en-US Updated: 2026-10-26 Languages: en-US, tr-TR ALGOFACT is a Turkish software and AI engineering company. For suppliers in Eskişehir’s rail systems and aerospace chains, and for its ceramics and household appliance plants, we build part and document traceability, quality data platforms, computer vision and secure document search. Where customers impose strict confidentiality, hosting, access and logging are decided at design time. Engineering runs from Adana and Ankara TEKMER under ISO 27001:2022, starting with a 30-minute discovery call. ## Key facts - **Population (2025):** 927,956 [1] - **Employment in Eskişehir OSB:** 42,695 [2] - **Industrial parcels in Eskişehir OSB:** 950 [2] - **Defense and aerospace exports (2021):** $321 million [2] - **Regional development agency:** Bursa Eskişehir Bilecik Development Agency (BEBKA) ## An industrial city built around rail and engines Eskişehir’s industrial story reads like a short history of Turkish engineering. The current-state analysis behind the 2024-2028 regional plan of the Bursa Eskişehir Bilecik Development Agency (BEBKA) traces it from an aircraft maintenance workshop founded in 1926, to the railway factory that built the first domestically produced locomotive, Karakurt, and the first domestic car, Devrim, in 1961, to the organized industrial zone approved in 1969 and the TUSAŞ aircraft engine plant of the 1980s. Today the same analysis names ceramics, household appliances, aerospace and rail systems as Eskişehir’s leading clusters, with dedicated cluster associations for rail and aerospace. Eskişehir OSB counts 950 parcels and 42,695 jobs according to Ministry of Industry and Technology data cited by BEBKA, led by fabricated metal, food and electrical equipment. In 2021 defense and aerospace was the province’s closest sector to the 500-million-dollar export mark, at 321 million dollars. ## What suppliers here usually need from software Rail and aerospace buyers expect every part to be traceable for years, and ceramics plants need kiln, glaze and defect data on the same product record. ### Serial and batch traceability for rail components An application that links serial numbers, batches, inspections and nonconformance reports, so an audit trail for a customer is ready in minutes instead of days.

Link: https://www.algofact.tech/en/services/ai-ml/chatbot-rag ### Surface defect detection for tiles and sanitaryware Computer vision that classifies cracks, spots and color drift after glazing and firing, and ties each defect to the kiln profile that produced it. Link: https://www.algofact.tech/en/services/ai-ml/computer-vision ### Line data for appliance suppliers A data platform that brings line, machine and quality data together and makes downtime and scrap causes visible to production managers.

Technical support usually funds training and consulting, while grant and loan programs are announced as separate calls. For software-heavy R&D, TÜBİTAK’s 1501 and 1507 programs are the usual references, and KOSGEB runs an SME digital transformation program for digitalization investments. Each program’s own guide decides who qualifies. We make no promises on eligibility; we write the technical scope and work packages so they can be used in your application. ## Engagement model The discovery call covers the process, your existing systems and any confidentiality terms your customers impose. A founder then presents the proposed scope, with a proof of concept first when technical risk is high. The build runs from our engineering offices in Adana and Ankara TEKMER, and you test releases in a staging environment before anything reaches the shop floor. Plant visits for camera mounting or line observation are agreed during discovery and written into the plan rather than assumed. We go live with access control and monitoring, hand over runbooks, and can keep an embedded team on the system after the first release. ## FAQ for Eskişehir ### Does ALGOFACT have a local presence in Eskişehir? No. Our engineering offices are in Adana (Çukurova) and Ankara TEKMER (Çankaya). Eskişehir clients meet us online, and any work that has to happen on site is identified during discovery and scheduled in the plan. ### Our rail or aerospace customer has strict confidentiality terms. Where does the data live? Wherever your terms require: your own servers, a private cloud or a hybrid setup. Access rights, log retention and where any model runs are written down at design time, and delivery is handled by a team working under ISO 27001:2022. ### Can computer vision catch defects on a ceramics line? For visible defects such as cracks, spots and color drift, usually yes. Lighting and line speed decide accuracy, so we collect images from your real production and measure results in a small proof of concept first. ### We are a tenant at ATAP. Can you join our TÜBİTAK project as the software partner? Yes. The split of work, reporting and intellectual property terms are agreed in the contract up front, while who applies and who qualifies follow the program’s rules. ### Can documentation and project communication be in English for our international customer? Yes. Specifications, test reports and runbooks can be produced in English, Turkish or both, which helps when your end customer audits the system. ## Related - [Smart manufacturing](https://www.algofact.tech/en/industries/manufacturing) - [Cybersecurity](https://www.algofact.tech/en/services/cloud/cybersecurity) - [Data platform and MLOps](https://www.algofact.tech/en/services/ai-ml/data-platform-mlops) - [Ankara TEKMER office](https://www.algofact.tech/en/locations/ankara) - [All locations](https://www.algofact.tech/en/locations) - [Book a discovery call](https://www.algofact.tech/en/contact) ## Sources 1.
