Where each one falls short

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

Novity

  • Novity is a small venture-backed company with a strategic investor rather than a profitable business, so continuity risk is real and the Tokyo Gas investment signals a likely eventual acquisition that would reset the roadmap.
  • Physics-based models must be configured per equipment class, so each new asset type is an engineering engagement rather than a configuration screen, and rollout speed is limited by Novitys own capacity.
  • Prognostics depend on the quality and sampling rate of your historian data; plants recording ten-minute averages will not get useful remaining-useful-life estimates without new instrumentation.
  • Nothing about pricing is published and there is no self-service entry point, so evaluation always starts with a sales-led pilot on a handful of assets.
  • The deployment footprint is concentrated in oil and gas, LNG and water, so reference customers and pre-built asset models outside those industries are limited.

Questions people ask

Is Novity or Proxibel Grid Suite better?
Neither clearly leads. Novity starts at On request and Proxibel Grid Suite at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
Which is cheaper, Novity or Proxibel Grid Suite?
Novity starts at On request and Proxibel Grid Suite at On request.
Does Novity or Proxibel Grid Suite run on more platforms?
Novity runs on Web, Cloud. Proxibel Grid Suite runs on Web, Api.
What is Novity best used for?
Novity is most often used for a gas processing plant that needs a defensible time-to-failure number before deferring a turnaround, an lng terminal with critical compressors and no run-to-failure history to train a conventional model, a wastewater operator whose existing vibration alarms are ignored because they carry no severity or horizon, a generator operator supplying data centre load where an unplanned trip carries contractual penalties. Of those, a gas processing plant that needs a defensible time-to-failure number before deferring a turnaround and an lng terminal with critical compressors and no run-to-failure history to train a conventional model are not what Proxibel Grid Suite is typically brought in for.
What can Novity do that Proxibel Grid Suite cannot?
Novity covers TruPrognostics engine, Cold-start modelling, Fault mode diagnosis, Remaining useful life. Proxibel Grid Suite covers Network planning, Operational planning, Real-time dispatch, Optimization algorithms.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Novity: What does Novity actually output?

A named failure mode and an estimated remaining useful life with a confidence band, not just an anomaly alert.

Novity: Do we need failure history to train it?

No. The physics component is what lets it produce useful prognostics on equipment with little or no run-to-failure data.

Novity: Do we need new sensors?

Often not. It reads from your existing historian, but low sampling rates or missing measurements can require additional instrumentation.

Novity: Who backs the company?

It was spun out of Xerox PARC and took a strategic investment from Acario Innovation, the venture arm of Tokyo Gas, in 2026.
