The Machine Insight Suite primarily benefits OEMs and system integrators. It provides real‑time performance, efficiency, and downtime insights directly on the controller, helping engineering and service teams improve machine design, optimize processes, and support customers with data‑driven information.

OEMs and integrators gain:

• Clear visibility into machine performance and losses
• Better data for continuous improvement
• Higher product quality through measurable feedback
• More competent, fact‑based customer support
• Faster machine approval during ramp‑up phases
• The ability to build a service business by offering performance summaries, efficiency evaluations, or maintenance recommendations — while retaining full ownership of the implementation
• A stronger foundation for CRA‑related risk assessments by providing transparent machine behavior and operational insights

In addition, OEMs may choose to share selected insights with machine owners and operators. This does not involve giving access to the software themselves; instead, OEMs provide controlled, value‑added information that helps customers:

• Improve daily machine operation
• Optimize production efficiency
• Detect issues earlier
• Plan maintenance more effectively
• Reduce downtime and stabilize output
• Support CRA‑aligned operational transparency without exposing internal software components

In short: The suite supports both machine builders and machine users, enabling better engineering, better operation, and new service opportunities — all while keeping the implementation fully under OEM control.

The Machine Insight Suite bundles all core DDAS libraries into one unified package. It is designed to be more cost‑efficient, easier to deploy, and faster to validate than purchasing each library individually.

1. Lower Total Price

The Machine Insight Suite offers a lower overall cost compared to buying each library individually.

The suite includes:

• Equipment Performance Library
• Date & Time Library
• Scheduler Library
• License Manager Library
• Application Template (free component)

Buying these individually results in a higher combined cost, while the suite offers a reduced package price.

 2. All Library Licenses Included

The suite automatically includes all required library licenses, but each library still uses its own activation code.

This means:

• You receive all activation codes together as part of the suite
• Each library is activated individually
• The License Manager handles validation for all of them
• No per‑machine activation, no runtime fees, no hardware binding

This keeps the licensing model clean and OEM‑friendly.

 3. Application Template Included (Free Component)

The Application Template is a free component — but when you purchase the suite, it is already included and fully integrated.

The Application Template contains preconfigured project structure, ready-to-use visualization pages, example code for rapid onboarding.”

This gives you:

• A complete working example of all library function blocks
• Out‑of‑the‑box validation of all features
• A ready‑made starting point for your machine project
• Faster onboarding and reduced engineering effort

This is a major advantage over buying single libraries, where you would need to integrate each component manually.

DDAS uses a company‑wide licensing model: each license can be used on unlimited machines, unlimited projects, and unlimited engineering PCs inside one organization. There are no per‑machine fees, no runtime charges, and no hardware binding.

Because the license covers your entire OEM operation, the upfront price is higher than typical per‑machine licensing — but the total cost becomes far lower when deploying across many machines or product lines.

The price also reflects that the libraries replace engineering work that would require weeks or months of internal development. In practice, the license cost is only a fraction of what an OEM would spend to build, test, document, and maintain equivalent functionality themselves.

In short: You pay once for unlimited usage and lifecycle, and avoid the high cost of developing and maintaining these components in‑house.

Each DDAS Digital license is tied to one organization and one specific software version. A valid license may be used on unlimited machines within the licensed organization. When you purchase a license, you receive an activation code that works only within that version branch. Updates or newer releases are not included automatically — they require either an active Maintenance subscription or the purchase of a new license.

Version‑Bound Example

If a customer purchases Version 3.5.1.0, the activation code will work for all patch versions in the same branch, such as 3.5.1.x. A newer branch like 3.5.2.x is considered a different version and therefore requires purchasing a new license and receiving a new activation code, which is provided through the Maintenance subscription.

This model ensures long‑term stability for machine builders while maintaining strict version control and protecting intellectual property.

The Maintenance subscription provides access to new software versions, updated activation codes, and technical support. Maintenance is offered as a yearly subscription, and all benefits apply only during the active subscription period. When the subscription ends, access to new versions and new activation codes stops, while your existing licensed version remains valid.

Maintenance Benefits (active subscription period only)

• Access to new versions You receive all new releases within your product line (e.g., moving from 3.5.1.x to 3.5.2.x, 3.5.3.x, etc.).
• New activation codes Each new version branch requires a new activation code. Maintenance provides these codes automatically during the subscription period.
• Bug fixes and improvements All patches and stability updates released during your subscription are included.
• Technical support Professional and Enterprise customers receive support for integration and troubleshooting while the subscription is active.

 Subscription Duration

The Maintenance subscription is yearly. When purchasing the Professional or Enterprise edition, the first year of Maintenance is automatically included. After the first year, the subscription can be renewed annually.

Version Example

If you own Version 3.5.1.0, Maintenance gives you access to 3.5.2.x, 3.5.3.x, and future releases during the subscription period, along with the required activation codes. If the subscription ends, you can continue using the latest received version indefinitely, but you will no longer receive new versions or new activation codes.
