With these figures the saving does not cover maintenance. Check the hours or tell us about the case: sometimes the reason to automate is quality or safety, not cost.
It does not include financing, grants, accounting depreciation or increased output. It is a first figure to decide whether it is worth looking into.
What the calculator does not see.
- Parts rejected today because of dents, marks or poor placement.
- Jobs that are hard to fill or have high turnover.
- Heavy or repetitive loads that lead to sick leave.
- Cycle time: if the cell produces more parts per hour than today, the saving goes up.
