Can we test the software on our own machines before buying a license?

[LogicAutomation]

We're comparing a few OEE and SCADA solutions for our plant. Our purchasing process requires a short pilot on real equipment before we can issue a purchase order: at least two machines, connected to the real PLCs, for about two weeks.
Is that possible with your products? What happens to the configuration and collected data when we buy the full license after the pilot, do we have to set everything up again? And where can I find information about pricing and license options so I can prepare the budget request?

A pilot on real equipment is a good way to evaluate, and it's something we support.
Testing before purchase
Our products can run with a trial license. In Proveris OEE you can see the license state on the Server Status page, with modes such as Trial, Demo and Licensed, along with the tag limit, user limit and expiry date. For a pilot on your own machines, please contact us so we can agree on the scope (number of machines and duration) and provide the right license for it.
You can also explore the Proveris OEE web interface with demo data before connecting anything, to get a feel for the dashboard, downtimes, kiosk and reports.
After the pilot
You don't need to start over. The license is installed on your existing installation, so the configuration you've done during the pilot (machines, tags, shifts, causes, users) and the collected data stay where they are. Just make sure the pilot runs on the server you plan to keep, or plan a migration if you used a temporary PC.
Pricing and license options
- Pricing page: https://greensoft.ai/pricing/
- Proveris OEE license documentation: https://greensoft.ai/documentation/p...s-oee/license/
- Downloads: https://greensoft.ai/downloads/
For a quote that matches your pilot and the full rollout, send us the number of machines, the communication protocols your PLCs support, and the number of users through https://greensoft.ai/get-in-touch/. That makes the budget request more accurate.
To get the most from the pilot
Choose one well-understood machine and one "problem" machine, agree in advance what you want to learn, and involve the operators from day one.
