ROI Robot System Value Calculator

Special thanks to Ron Potter of Factory Automation Systems for sharing this ROI tool with the A3 Robotics community.

This calculator shows the potentially dramatic impact in cost savings of leveraging a robot versus manual labor over the lifetime of a project.
ROI Robot System Value Calculator

The pre-filled sections of the tool below, display an example study where 2 robots were installed and operating for 2 shifts each day, 5 days a week. The costs & savings associated with the example were examined over the course of a 15 year period.

These are displayed solely as an example and are not meant to be a model for an average user installation cost or savings return.

Variable for Total System Cost

Variables for Current Operational Costs

1
 Robot System Usage:Disclaimer: Average Robot Electrical costs are roughly $.50 per hour
2
 Annual Labor Costs per Operator,Including Fringe Benefits:Disclaimer: Average Robot Electrical costs are roughly $.50 per hour $
