How it is calculated
- Labour saved per year = operators per shift × shifts × monthly cost incl. benefits × 12
- Net saving per year = labour saved + other value gained (e.g. more output, less scrap) − yearly maintenance
- Payback = investment ÷ net saving per month
This is a first estimate. A real project also looks at cycle time, parts, floor space and safety. NKE engineers can run the feasibility study and a 3D simulation before you invest. See CNC machine tending robots and factory automation.
