How to use the ROI calculator

1. Gather inputs

Use your best estimate. If you are unsure, start conservative.

2. Run the ROI calculator: Developed by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3)

Enter your system cost, schedule, labor, and expected gains.

3. Validate the result for your application

Use the calculator output as a starting point. Precision360 reviews your part mix, workflow, and automation fit to confirm the payback is realistic.

 

What You Will Need

  • Total installed automation cost estimate

  • Current staffing and labor cost for tending

  • Shifts per day and working days per year

  • Productivity expectations and any overtime reduction

  • Any additional savings you expect, such as scrap reduction or less rework

*ROI and Payback Disclaimer

ROI results are estimates only and are highly dependent on part mix, labor rates, scheduling, achievable unattended time, and integration scope. The A3 calculator is a third party tool provided by A3 Robotics. Precision360 reviews each application individually before recommending a system or quoting payback.
