The extension of MAIKI to provide cost reference data is a new milestone and can help buyers and cost engineers to find the real cost of their products.
API ready as on premises database.

Energy Cost
Find energycosts for industrial consumption of electricity, oil, gas, and renewable energy for all major regions and countries. Updates are flexible, ranging from weekly to annual.
Country Cost References
More than 150 countries and regions with specific data on labor costs, interest rates, and minimum costs, which can be combined with reference data on energy consumption.
Materials and Semifinished
With morethan 4,000 base materials, this database contains thousands of cost data pointsfor metals, alloys, and polymers—both as raw materials and as semi-finished products.
Technical Materials
This database, with over 500 entries, includes fabrics, textiles, films, as well as leather and other materials that are widely used across various industries but cannot be found in typical material cost databases.
Manufacturing Equipment
The database includes more than 2,000 production systems for the most important technologies, which can be used to model over 95% of all manufacturing processes. It includes technical parameters, capital costs, and energy consumption.
Consumables
A small but useful database that lists the costs of typical consumables such as lubricating oil, molding sand, binders, etc. These reference costs can be used for precise cost modeling of manufacturing processes.
