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 | Freight 500 | Industrial-Grade 1500kg Smart Robot |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $35,000 | $25,020 |
| Payback period | 8.4 mo | 6.0 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $215,000 | $224,980 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +614% | +899% |
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.
