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-2600GSK RMD200
Investment$16,000$43,995
Payback period3.8 mo10.6 mo
Net savings (5 yr)$234,001$206,005
ROI (5 yr)+1463%+468%

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.
