FAQ
Because it’s explainable and saves time.
Most manufacturers want to know early if something is in the right ballpark — we respect that.
No long-term contracts or lock-ins.
Pricing is per machine and scales as your operation changes.
No.
The AI Production Assistant is included — there’s no separate AI tier or upgrade.
No.
Pricing is transparent, but every setup starts with a short walkthrough to confirm fit and configuration.
