ROI Comparison

Same operating assumptions across every robot — the only difference is price. Set your numbers once to see which pays back fastest.

Annual labor displaced (per robot): $50,000

MetricABB IRB-2600Auto Palletizer
Investment$16,000$25,000
Payback period3.8 mo6.0 mo
Net savings (5 yr)$234,001$225,000
ROI (5 yr)+1463%+900%

Estimates labor-cost displacement only — not a full total cost of ownership. Actual ROI depends on integration, maintenance, training, downtime, and task fit. Converted currencies are indicative; USD is the price of record.
