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 | LPH-040 | Paloma |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $5,392 | $15,200 |
| Payback period | 1.3 mo | 3.6 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $244,608 | $234,800 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +4537% | +1545% |
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.
