Ferry

Ferry (operated by ThirdRails Ltd) is a London-based development and data integration platform for the industrial edge, founded in 2023 by Dominic Aits and Ethan Waldie. Ferry lets operations, IT and data teams in operationally intensive industries — manufacturing, energy, oil & gas and pharmaceuticals — integrate data from factory floors and frontline operations directly into their IT systems, and build, deploy and monitor custom edge applications and data pipelines on industrial hardware. It ships as a modular Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with agentic AI for production scheduling, supply chain operations, troubleshooting, real-time process guidance and continuous improvement, deploying via AWS IoT Greengrass in the customer's own AWS account or Azure IoT Edge in their Azure account. Ferry is backed by Seedcamp, Asymmetric Capital Partners and Target Global, and is SOC 2 Type II certified.

Ferry is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Industrial AI, Manufacturing, Manufacturing Execution System, and Edge Computing.

Ferry’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, and 15 more developer resources.
