Evocon vs GE Vernova Proficy Plant Applications

Evocon is OEE software for manufacturers that need real-time production visibility and ways to identify waste. Shift View tracks performance across shifts, dates, stations, factories, and countries. The OEE dashboard presents live production insights, while Factory Overview shows machine and factory status. Production reports support analysis, and digital checklists automate recurring checks using current machine data. A sensor detects products on a line or machine and sends collected information through Evocon’s IIoT device over the internet. Evocon describes ERP and other manufacturing integrations, with integrations offered as an add-on on Professional. The license includes support, updates, maintenance, firmware updates, implementation and configuration help, training, onboarding, and unlimited users. Hardware and shipping, integrations, custom development, and on-site visits cost extra. Plans are priced per machine on a one-year agreement: Basic is €189 a month, Professional 249.00 EUR, and Enterprise 319.00 EUR. A 30-day trial starts when production data is visualized.
