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 | Skypod | Ruanyi 2025 Laser AGV |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $122,500 | $43,500 |
| Payback period | 29.4 mo | 10.4 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $127,500 | $206,500 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +104% | +475% |
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.
