Interactive tool
Simple payback scenario
Enter your own observed labor hours, realistic offset, loaded hourly cost, installed quote and annual robot operating cost. The tool performs one visible calculation and does not label the result good or bad.
Educational scenario only, not a quotation, business case or financial advice. Nothing you enter is stored or sent.
Observed total across all people and shifts for this task boundary.
Use the supplier trial and exception plan, not the current hours by default.
Use your organisation's approved loaded-cost method.
Include quoted hardware, tooling, integration, safeguarding, commissioning and training.
Enter the quoted support, maintenance, software, energy and recurring service total. Use 0 only if verified.
Transparent result
Enter every field and calculate. No default business assumptions are hidden in the tool.
