factory machinery

Production line tools

Factory machinery is the equipment used in manufacturing plants to produce goods—assembly lines, presses, lathes, conveyor systems, and the like.

The term often appears in insurance contexts, industrial regulations, or business discussions: The factory machinery was outdated and needed replacement.

Heavy machinery in factories typically requires specialized training to operate safely.
