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 | UR7e |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $13,313 | $38,363 |
| Payback period | 3.2 mo | 9.2 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $236,688 | $211,637 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +1778% | +552% |
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.
