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.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Ferry the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Ferry scores 23.8/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Ferry
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Ferry. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
