Carbon RKayd Integration
    PROJECT ESTIMATE

    What will your SCADA project cost?

    Answer a few questions about your plant. You'll get a price range built from the same model we use for real quotes, and the range tightens the more you can tell us. No drawings needed to start.

    SCADA, ICONICS and Ignition cost questions

    What drives the price of a SCADA or HMI project, and what the estimate above covers.

    It depends mostly on how many screens and I/O points the system has, how many servers and controllers it connects to, and how much testing and training it needs. Every Carbon RKayd project has a $6,600 minimum, and software licenses, hardware and taxes are quoted separately. Answer the questions above for a range built from the model we use for real quotes.

    The engineering follows the same drivers as any SCADA system: screens, I/O points, servers, testing and training. ICONICS licenses depend on the size of the system, so we quote them separately once we know what you need. If you already own your licenses, the estimate above covers the engineering.

    A migration is priced by the size of the system you have today and by what it runs now. Moving up from GENESIS64 v10 is the simplest, GENESIS32 takes more work, and systems from other vendors take the most. Each function the old system carries, like alarms, trends, reports or recipes, adds to the price.

    The engineering behind an Ignition project is driven by the same things as any SCADA system: screens, I/O points, controller connections, testing and training. Software licenses are priced separately by each vendor, so compare the engineering on its own. If you're moving off Ignition, or weighing it against ICONICS, pick Another HMI or SCADA above to see the range for a move to GENESIS v11.

    Most of the uncertainty in a quote comes from what can't be seen yet. With current drawings, tag lists and a written sequence of operation the range is tight, and with less on hand it widens. A short review of what you have usually brings the firm quote within 15%.

    Software licenses, hardware and taxes. Larger projects and repeat work can qualify for volume discounts, which we go over when we confirm your quote.
