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 | QJRB180-1 | RBR616 |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | $6,617 | $19,000 |
| Payback period | 1.6 mo | 4.6 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $243,383 | $231,000 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +3678% | +1216% |
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.
