Expert Verdict

Vorne XL

Vorne XL is the right choice for manufacturers who want reliable, owned OEE hardware with zero subscription costs and minimal setup. Not suitable where machine health prediction or condition monitoring is a requirement.

💰 Pricing: ~$1,995 per line one-time purchase · No ongoing subscription required · Optional support contract

Amper

Amper is a strong choice for job shops and contract manufacturers needing a broader FactoryOps platform — not just machine monitoring. PLC connectivity provides more depth than pure current-sensing competitors.

💰 Pricing: ~$50/machine/month · First 20 machines included in base plan · Custom quote for larger deployments
