How to start

Four levels. Two tracks. Concrete artifacts at each step.

Scope, price, timeline and deliverables are agreed for each stage after the survey. No open-ended consulting — each step is either a report, a dashboard, or a working control loop.

L0 Level 0 · self-service

No call needed.

Strix Connect is a free software gateway. Runs on any Windows PC, Linux server, VM, or Raspberry Pi — and starts collecting data over OPC UA and Modbus TCP / RTU in 30 minutes. Tags flow to MQTT, Kafka, REST, or our Strix platform — one URL.

  • 100 tags free, forever. No expiry, no card, no lead form.
  • Windows, Linux, ARM. One binary or a Docker container. Deploy on your hardware — or connect to our Strix cloud.
  • Industrial-grade from day one. Edge buffering, secure transport, Prometheus metrics.
  • Need other protocols — Profinet, EtherNet/IP, IEC 60870, BACnet, S7, MQTT-source? Book a demo — we'll walk through the adapter for your stack.

Once the data is flowing — pick a level from the table below if you need diagnostics, advisor, or full production rollout.

Track 1

Monitoring & diagnostics

If your goal is to bring vibration and motor-current diagnostics onto assets, integrate with SCADA / CMMS and roll out into production. End result — hardware + software delivery (CAPEX) or tender award.

L1 Level 1

Demo

Price
Free
Duration
30–60 min · online
Deliverable
Live walk-through of Strix.Diagnost and Strix on reference data. We hear your pain, qualify the use case.
L2 Level 2

Diagnostic Day

Price
€800–1,200
Duration
1 day · on-site
Scope
Express vibration diagnostics with Passer + Larus on 3–5 measurement points of your choice.
Deliverable
Written report with findings and recommendations within 5 business days.
L3 Level 3

Gateway Pilot

Price
€1,500–3,000
Duration
4–8 weeks
Scope
1× Larus-100 gateway + up to 8 channels of Passer-V / Passer-T. Fixed price, fixed scope.
Deliverable
Raw data streaming into Strix cloud + diagnostic report within 6 weeks.
L4 Level 4

Full deployment / tender

Price
Quote on request
Duration
From 3 months
Scope
Replicable architecture: Passer × N + Larus + Strix / Strix.Diagnost. Project-based or tender delivery.
Deliverable
Production-grade rollout: hardware + software delivery, training, support.
Track 2

APC & process optimization

If your goal is to lift yield, cut energy, stabilize the process. End result — APC algorithm in the loop. Commercial model: one-off sale or a service contract (pay-for-result).

L1 Level 1

APC Demo

Price
Free
Duration
30–60 min · online
Deliverable
Real APC case studies: flotation, mills, kilns. What can be optimized in your process and the expected effect.
L2 Level 2

APC Pilot

Price
Free
Duration
6–12 weeks
Scope
Stages 1–3 of our methodology: data collection → method definition → goal agreement.
Deliverable
Agreed optimization target, baseline, selected method. We move forward only if the effect is provable.
L3 Level 3

Deployment

Price
Quote (cost-recovery)
Duration
4–12 weeks
Scope
Model rollout into Strix.APC, SCADA integration, operator onboarding.
Deliverable
APC algorithm + advisor in the loop. Production-ready.
L4 Level 4

Service contract

Price
Base €1.5–3K/mo + 20% of savings · cap 3–4× base
Duration
36 months
Scope
Industrial support, periodic algorithm re-tuning, effect measurement against agreed methodology.
Deliverable
Long-term production operation. Pay-for-result — no savings, no variable component.
FAQ

A few things to know before you start

Which step should I pick first?

If you already know the critical asset and want data — go for Diagnostic Day or Gateway Pilot. For process optimization — APC Pilot. Still figuring it out? Demo, 30 minutes, no commitment.

Why pay for a pilot?

A paid pilot filters out tire-kickers and covers our travel / hardware cost. The pilot fee is credited toward the full-deployment quote if you choose to move forward.

What's the service contract?

A pay-for-result model. Monthly base covers support; variable component is 20% of the documented savings, capped at 3–4× base. Minimum term — 36 months.

Can we go straight to a tender?

Yes. If you already have a defined need and a tender is in preparation — write under "Full deployment": we'll prepare the technical-commercial proposal, help with the technical requirements, and run a Diagnostic Day for scope clarification if useful.

Not sure which step is yours?

Start with a demo. 30 minutes, no commitment.

On the call, we walk through reference data on a live setup, review your asset fleet, and tell you which next step makes sense — Diagnostic Day, Gateway Pilot, APC Pilot, or straight to a quote.

What the pilot includes

Inputs

Asset list and operating modes, wiring diagram, failure and maintenance history, available telemetry, security requirements and site access.

Pilot scope

A selected asset or group of components, an agreed Passer/Larus package or existing telemetry, Strix.Diagnost and Strix.Platform dashboards.

Stages

Survey and acceptance criteria → connection and data-quality checks → observation and joint event review → final report and rollout decision.

Deliverables and acceptance

Solution diagram, data-quality and event log, diagnostic report, limitations and rollout plan. Data availability, permissible gaps, alert validation and control scenarios are agreed before starting.

Duration, price and measurable acceptance criteria are agreed after the survey and recorded in the pilot programme. Fault warning time is evaluated using the selected equipment data.

Two delivery options: purchase of the hardware/software system with deployment and support, or monitoring as a service with agreed SLAs, a base fee and, where applicable, a component tied to verified benefits.
