The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AVEVA System Platform wonderware is no longer a name you can buy; if you have inherited documentation, purchase orders or job specifications that say Wonderware, everything has to be re-mapped to AVEVA product names before you can quote it.; Nanoprecise Sci Corp the hardware and analytics are inseparable, so you cannot bring your own accelerometers or keep the platform if you change sensor vendor, and every expansion of coverage is a hardware purchase as well as a subscription increase.
  • They diverge on capability: AVEVA System Platform covers ArchestrA object model, Nanoprecise Sci Corp covers Six-parameter sensor.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

AVEVA System Platform

  • A multi-site food manufacturer standardising operator screens across plants that run different PLC brandsnot Nanoprecise Sci Corp
  • A water utility with a decade of ArchestrA templates where rewriting to another platform cannot be justifiednot Nanoprecise Sci Corp
  • A pharmaceutical line needing ISA-88 batch recipe handling above existing Rockwell and Siemens controllersnot Nanoprecise Sci Corp
  • A plant modernising legacy InTouch applications without discarding the existing screens and scriptsnot Nanoprecise Sci Corp

Nanoprecise Sci Corp

  • A plant with no vibration analyst that needs a named fault rather than a spectrum to interpretnot AVEVA System Platform
  • Monitoring rotating equipment in areas with no power or network cabling, where a battery sensor on LTE avoids an electrical projectnot AVEVA System Platform
  • A mining site tracking conveyor and pump condition across a large area where walkaround routes are impracticalnot AVEVA System Platform
  • A facilities team wanting motor energy waste and condition from the same device to justify the spend on two groundsnot AVEVA System Platform

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AVEVA System Platform

  • Wonderware is no longer a name you can buy; if you have inherited documentation, purchase orders or job specifications that say Wonderware, everything has to be re-mapped to AVEVA product names before you can quote it.
  • AVEVA Flex converts licensing to a recurring subscription draw-down, so organisations that budgeted for a perpetual licence with a support percentage face a materially different cost model at renewal.
  • It is Windows only, and version compatibility between System Platform, Historian and InTouch is tight, so upgrades are coordinated projects rather than incremental patches.
  • The ArchestrA object model has a steep learning curve and small systems end up paying for structure they do not need, which is why integrators often deploy standalone InTouch instead.
  • Licence enforcement counts I/O aggressively and unexpected tag growth during commissioning can trigger a mid-project licence purchase at list price.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp

  • The hardware and analytics are inseparable, so you cannot bring your own accelerometers or keep the platform if you change sensor vendor, and every expansion of coverage is a hardware purchase as well as a subscription increase.
  • Per-asset subscription costs scale linearly with the number of monitored machines, so full coverage of a large rotating asset population becomes expensive in a way a traditional route-based programme does not.
  • Nanoprecise is a small venture-funded company, so a buyer standardising a whole estate on its sensors is taking a supplier continuity risk that a Baker Hughes or SKF purchase does not carry.
  • Automated fault classification is only as good as the model for your specific machine type, and unusual or slow-speed equipment is where these systems are weakest, exactly where a human analyst would still be needed.
  • Nothing is published on pricing, hardware cost, gateway requirements or contract length, so total cost for a realistic deployment cannot be estimated without a sales engagement.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AVEVA System Platform: Is Wonderware still sold?

No. The brand was retired; buy AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA InTouch HMI, AVEVA Historian or AVEVA Plant SCADA instead.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: Can I use my own vibration sensors?

No. The platform is built around the MachineDoctor sensor and third-party sensor data is not a supported first-class input.

AVEVA System Platform: Can I still buy a perpetual licence?

AVEVA steers new business to Flex subscriptions. Perpetual is increasingly restricted to existing agreements and renewals.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: Do I need a gateway?

For WiFi and LoRa deployments yes. LTE sensors report directly but carry a connectivity cost.

AVEVA System Platform: Do my old InTouch applications still run?

Yes, legacy InTouch applications are supported in System Platform, though the older graphics do not gain the newer situational-awareness features without rework.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: Does it tell me what is wrong or just that something is wrong?

It classifies the fault type and estimates remaining useful life, which is the main reason plants without a vibration analyst choose it.

AVEVA System Platform: What is AVEVA Flex?

A subscription credit pool you draw against for any AVEVA product, which trades a fixed licence for a recurring balance you must keep topped up.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp: How is it priced?

Per monitored asset on subscription, plus sensor and gateway hardware. Nothing is published; expect a multi-year agreement.
