Our company is approached by a client. Client prefers on premises document understanding setup. I referred many sources but mostly there are cloud based solutions or to use an automation suite. What are the minimum requirement for a on premise document understanding, the licenses required, the components etc. Also what will be the approximate cost for the same

To implement an on-premises Document Understanding solution using UiPath, here are the minimum requirements, licenses, components, and approximate cost in USD:

Core Components:

  1. UiPath Orchestrator
    Role: Centralized management of robots and processes
    Deployment: Installed on a Windows IIS server
    Minimum requirements:
  • CPU: 4-core, 2 GHz or higher
  • RAM: 4 GB or higher
  • Storage: 150 GB or more of free disk space
  1. AI Center
    Role: Hosts and manages ML models for document processing
    Deployment: Installed as part of UiPath Automation Suite or standalone
    Minimum requirements:
  • CPU: 4-core, 2 GHz or higher
  • RAM: 16 GB or higher
  • Storage: 300 GB or more of free disk space
  1. Document Understanding Framework
    Role: Provides tools for classification, extraction, and validation
    Deployment: Integrated within AI Center
    Minimum requirements:
  • CPU: 2-core
  • RAM: 8 GB for each extractor and classifier VM
  • GPU: Recommended for high OCR volume, 11 GB VRAM for training models
  1. SQL Server
    Role: Stores Orchestrator and AI Center data
    Requirement: FullTextSearch feature must be enabled

Licensing Requirements:

  1. UiPath Enterprise License
    Includes: Studio, Orchestrator, Robots
    Approximate cost: 4200 USD per developer license annually

  2. Document Understanding License
    Based on number of pages processed
    Approximate cost: 0.18 to 0.24 USD per page (varies by extractor type)

  3. AI Units
    Required for OCR, classification, extraction
    Typical usage: 1 AI unit per page for OCR and classification
    Approximate cost: 0.012 to 0.025 USD per AI unit

  4. Action Center License
    Required for human validation workflows
    Approximate cost: 6600 USD for 5 users annually

Hardware Requirements Summary:

  • Orchestrator Server: 4-core CPU, 4 GB RAM, 150 GB storage
  • AI Center Server: 4-core CPU, 16 GB RAM, 300 GB storage
  • Extractor/Classifiers: 2-core CPU, 8 GB RAM
  • OCR VM: 4-core CPU, 16 GB RAM, GPU with 11 GB VRAM

Estimated Cost Summary (Annual):

  • UiPath Enterprise License: 4200 USD
  • Document Understanding License: 0.18 to 0.24 USD per page
  • AI Units: 0.012 to 0.025 USD per page
  • Action Center License: 6600 USD for 5 users
  • Hardware and infrastructure: 12000 to 25000 USD (one-time or amortized)
  • Implementation and training: 6000 to 12000 USD

Other Considerations:

  • Requires a dedicated infrastructure team to install, manage, and maintain
  • Needs training for developers and admins
  • Ensure scalability for future document processing volume
  • On-prem setup offers data privacy and compliance benefits but is cost-intensive

This setup is suitable for clients who prioritize data control, have high volume document processing, or work in regulated industries.
