Etymology
According to the founders, the KFactory name came from "Kognitif Manufacturing" the indonezian word "kognitif" meaning "cognitive" in English. The name itself explains from the beginning that the start-up is using cognitive computing techniques along with Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications and advanced analytics to evaluate data in real time from multiple systems, equipment, and processes. It then automates or guides manufacturing accordingly.

Corporate image
The old logo consisted in the K letter, from Kognitif, the round circle and the slogan "all about operational performance". The logo is a registered mark of KFactory. The basic color is red, also found in combination of the brand image with 2 light grey and dark grey.

The new logo, after the rebranding that took place during the 2022, consists in the same letter K, but now a more modern design is used.
