Pricing

How Semia pricing works

Semia is priced like hiring an employee, not licensing enterprise software. You hire one AI employee for one clearly defined role, production planning, and the price reflects the scope of that role in your plant, not a seat count.

What determines the price

The scope of the role

How much of the daily planning the AI employee owns: one line or the whole plant, one shift or all of them, planning only or planning plus exception handling through the day.

Your data sources

Which systems it reads: orders, inventory, ingredients, attendance, and machine status. It works inside the tools you already use, and connecting more sources is part of the scope, not a surprise invoice.

The number of plants

Pricing is per plant. A second site is a second hire, and it starts faster because the planning logic your first AI employee captured carries over.

How an engagement starts

1. Diagnosis

We map how your plant plans today: who builds the plan, from which inputs, and where time, waste, and shelf-life risk leak.

2. Pilot on your data

Your AI employee writes real plans alongside your planner. You compare its plan to yours every morning before anything changes on the floor.

3. Production

The AI employee takes over the daily writing of the plan. Your planner reviews and signs off in minutes instead of building it for hours. Design-partner data shows planning going from about 3 hours a day to roughly 15 minutes.

Common questions

Why is there no price list on this page?

Because the price depends on the scope of the role, not a feature tier. Two plants with the same headcount can have very different planning complexity. After a short diagnosis call we give you a fixed, per-plant price with nothing usage-based hidden inside it.

Is there a long-term contract?

Engagements start with a pilot on your own data, so you see the AI employee write real plans next to your planner before you commit to anything long term.

What is included in the price?

The build of your AI employee, its onboarding onto your data sources, the sign-off workflow for your named approver, and continuous improvement of its planning logic as your plant changes.

How does this compare to hiring another planner?

Industry estimates put replacing a skilled planner at $20-40K before they write a single plan, and the knowledge leaves when they do. An AI employee captures the planning logic and keeps it inside the company, and a named human stays the decision maker of record.
