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

MetricA2-WCL-2
Investment$145,000No price
Payback period34.8 mo—
Net savings (5 yr)$105,000—
ROI (5 yr)+72%—

CL-2 has no listed price, so payback can't be computed. Contact the manufacturer for a quote.

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.
