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 | HC30PL | LBR iisy 3 R760 |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $13,080 | $28,223 |
| Payback period | 3.1 mo | 6.8 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $236,920 | $221,778 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +1811% | +786% |
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.
