Start Calculator NowFrequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to use the calculator?
You'll need: current manual cycle time, scrap rate percentage, fully-loaded labor cost per hour, number of shifts, proposed FANUC cell throughput, and estimated cell investment cost. Most manufacturers have this data readily available from production reports.
How accurate are the calculations?
The calculator uses industry-standard ROI formulas based on your inputs. Accuracy depends on the quality of your input data. We recommend scheduling a Payback Validation Call to refine assumptions and account for factors specific to your operation.
Is this really free?
Yes, completely free. No credit card required. We provide this calculator to help manufacturers make informed decisions about automation investments. Our goal is to be your trusted partner when you're ready to move forward.
What happens after I use the calculator?
You'll receive detailed results via email. We'll also invite you to schedule an optional Payback Validation Call where our team can help refine your assumptions, answer questions, and discuss implementation options—with no obligation.
Does this only work for FANUC robots?
While optimized for FANUC robotic cells, the fundamental ROI calculations apply to most industrial automation projects. However, our team specializes in FANUC integration, so we can provide the most value for FANUC-based projects.
Can I save and compare multiple scenarios?
Each calculation is emailed to you, so you can run multiple scenarios with different inputs and compare the results. During your Payback Validation Call, we can also help you model various configuration options.
Who should use this calculator?
Plant managers, operations directors, engineers, and anyone responsible for justifying automation investments to leadership. If you need to build a business case for a robotic cell, this tool is for you.
