Industrial deployments aren't off-the-shelf — and neither is our pricing. Every OctosX engagement is configured to the plant: the equipment monitored, the data integrated, the people supported. This page explains the three components of that configuration.
Three layers, each configured to your plant. Together they form your total deployment cost.
Layer 1 — Initial Setup
One-Time Initial Setup
The work to design your monitoring architecture, install and commission hardware, integrate with your existing systems, and train your team.
What it covers
Site survey and sensor placement design
IPC and gateway configuration
Network integration with your IT/OT infrastructure
On-site commissioning and validation
Operator and administrator training
How it's calculated
Project scope, number of monitored points, and on-site commissioning days.
What shapes the number
Sensor variety, hazardous area certifications, site accessibility.
Typical magnitude
A single-site setup typically lands in the low to mid five-figure range. Large multi-site rollouts can extend into the low six-figures as engineering and training scale.
Layer 2 — SaaS Subscription
Recurring SaaS Subscription
Annual subscription to the OctosX Risk Intelligence Platform — cloud-hosted, continuously updated, supported.
What it covers
Cloud platform access and real-time dashboards
Alert and notification engine (email, SMS, dashboard)
5+ years of data retention and audit logs
Quarterly software updates and security patches
Standard support and incident response
SOC 2 / GDPR / PIPEDA-aligned data handling
How it's calculated
Number of monitoring endpoints per site and number of authorized users.
What shapes the number
Site count, endpoint density, alert-escalation paths, and reporting configuration.
Typical magnitude
Priced per monitored endpoint per month — typically tens of dollars per endpoint. Final ARR depends on endpoint count and how many sites are connected to a single account.
Layer 3 — Hardware
Industrial Hardware
Thermalpas thermal sensors, electricity meters, edge computers, and gateways — selected for your equipment, certified for your environment.
What it covers
Thermalpas thermal-tracking sensors
Electricity meters and current/leakage CT modules
Industrial PCs (IPCs) and edge gateways
Cabling and mounting accessories
Hazardous area / IP-rated variants where required
How it's calculated
Number of monitoring points and sensor types required. Hardware is sold as a one-time capital purchase.
Per-node hardware spans the low hundreds up to the low four-figure range, depending on sensor type, certification level, and whether the node requires hazardous-area or high-temperature variants. Volume orders trend toward the lower end.
Pricing Modifiers
Factors that shape your final number.
Beyond the three layers, three levers can adjust your total cost — up or down.
Multi-Site Scaling
Per-site cost decreases as deployment scales. Standardized rollouts across multiple facilities benefit from shared engineering effort and volume hardware procurement.
Annual Pre-Payment
Annual pre-payment of the SaaS subscription unlocks a meaningful discount over monthly billing — improving both your TCO and our forecast.
Working with an SI Partner
If you're deploying through one of our authorized System Integrators, they may bundle OctosX pricing into a single integrated contract. Ask them, or ask us for a referral.
Deployment Profiles
How investment scales with deployment.
Three common deployment profiles. Where you start determines where you grow.
Profile 1
Single-Site Pilot
One production line or one critical area, monitored end-to-end. Ideal for proving the value before scaling.
Initial SetupLower
SaaS SubscriptionLower
HardwareLower
Best for
Plants new to industrial monitoring; risk-averse procurement; first internal champion building the business case.
Year-1 magnitude
Tens of thousandssingle-line or single-area scope
Profile 2
Full Plant Deployment
All critical equipment across one site, monitored continuously. Baseline for full operational visibility.
Initial SetupModerate
SaaS SubscriptionModerate
HardwareModerate
Best for
Plants ready to act on full-site data; companies with measurable downtime cost; sites requiring NFPA 70B alignment.
Year-1 magnitude
Mid five to mid six figuresscope-dependent
Profile 3
Multi-Plant Enterprise
Standardized deployment across multiple facilities, centrally managed. Best per-site economics.
Initial SetupHigherlowest per-site
SaaS SubscriptionHighervolume-discounted
HardwareHighervolume-priced
Best for
Enterprise manufacturers; standardized operations; organizations pursuing ESG/risk reporting across portfolio.

Each profile is illustrative. Your actual investment depends on plant complexity, equipment count, and the modifiers above.

Scope, Not Prices
Estimate your monitoring scope in 30 seconds.
Count the electrical assets in your plant, and we translate them into an indicative sensing-point range using our standard installation templates. Bring the result into your quote request — it is the first question we would ask anyway.
