Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Description | Cost/month |
|---|---|---|
42Q DFX | 42Q DFX Scope - 3 months, 1 Line, up to 30 count points (Workstations/Users) | $40,000.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing has one contract option. You buy a fixed scope covering 3 months, one manufacturing line, and up to 30 count points, which are the workstations or users tracked in your operation. Pricing is a set commitment for that defined scope rather than a per-user or usage meter. You buy the quantity that matches your evaluation area. This scope lets you deploy the cloud-based MES in a small portion of your operations before expanding to more lines or added capabilities.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A count point is a workstation or a user tracked in your operation. Your scope covers up to 30 of these across one manufacturing line. Each workstation or user account you add toward that line counts as one count point until you reach the 30 limit.
This contract covers a fixed scope: one line and up to 30 count points for 3 months. It does not automatically scale. You can start small, prove the value, then expand usage to more lines, more count points, or added capabilities as needed.
The scope delivers the cloud-based MES core functions for controlling and managing a manufacturing line. This includes order management, process routing, employee verification, track and trace genealogy, device history records, and manufacturing reporting for the covered operation.
