A Fiix alternative, for a plant rather than an estate
What is a good alternative to Fiix for a single plant with real process data?
Manufacturing Updated
Reading your own machines should not be a line item. With Fiix it is: from $3,000 per plant per year plus $6,000 to implement, on their Enterprise plan, through a Rockwell product you license separately.
With Koidra it is Process Optimization Essential, connected by our engineer, with no middleware to license.

Where the money actually goes
Fiix reaches controllers through FactoryTalk Optix, a separately licensed Rockwell platform between your assets and the software, and their own page prices that at $3,000 per plant per year plus $6,000 to implement, on top of the Enterprise plan.
For one site, reading your own machines can cost more than the maintenance software. With Koidra it is the first plan of Process Optimization, and predictive maintenance is the Pro plan of Intelligent Asset & Maintenance Management rather than a module quoted through a representative.
One note on their predictive module: Asset Risk Predictor is a real machine-learning product, but its page now redirects to the Fiix homepage and it is absent from their pricing. Ask them for a quote rather than trusting a figure you find online.
Built for a plant first
We are built for a plant, and a plant is where the money in the table above goes. Both solutions work on the same unified operational data, with nothing to buy between your machines and the software.
