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
| Metric | M1013 | MOTOMAN HC30PL |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $42,000 | $60,000 |
| Payback period | 10.1 mo | 14.4 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $208,000 | $190,000 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +495% | +317% |
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.
