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 | MiniCobo | LBR iisy 6 R1300 |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $13,313 | $30,332 |
| Payback period | 3.2 mo | 7.3 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $236,688 | $219,668 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +1778% | +724% |
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.
