How much does an AIoT system cost?+–
Based on custom projects in Taiwan in 2026: site review and planning is about NT$100k–300k; a PoC on one line or equipment type is about NT$500k–1M; a multi-device data platform with dashboards, AI models in production and MES/ERP connections is about NT$1M–2.5M; a multi-site, multi-model platform is NT$2.5M and up. Sensors, edge hosts, cloud and GPU costs are extra.
How long does it take?+–
About 3–5 months from site review to PoC results: 2–4 weeks for the review and 2–4 months for the PoC. Scaling and integration after a successful PoC takes about 5–8 months, and a multi-site platform 8 months or more. Timing depends mostly on how quickly data can be obtained and how open the equipment and system interfaces are.
We have no AI team. Can we still do this?+–
Yes. We handle data collection, model training, system development and model updates after launch. What we need from you is staff who know the site, to explain the judgement criteria, confirm labels and review the numbers with us during the PoC.
What if we do not have enough data?+–
Collect data first, then build AI. The site review checks the volume and quality of existing data; if it falls short, we add sensors or cameras and set up a labelling process, while threshold alerts solve part of the problem in the meantime. The PoC starts once there is enough data to train on.
Can it connect to our existing MES or ERP?+–
Yes. We do not replace your MES or ERP; we build the equipment data and AI layer and write recognition results, alerts and equipment data back through APIs. Without an API, database or file exchange can work, but reliability and maintenance cost are assessed first.
What if accuracy drops after the model goes live?+–
It happens, so we plan for it. New materials, fixtures or lighting can lower accuracy. We monitor recognition results, collect misclassified samples, relabel and retrain, and update the model after validation; this is written into the post-launch maintenance agreement.
