Factors To Consider When Calculating Your Robot Palletiser’s ROI?

Imagine if you could hire a skilled labourer for only 50p an hour, who’d be able to work 24/7 without taking a break or needing assistance. If this sounds appealing to you, you should consider investing in a robot palletiser.

When investing in a robot palletiser, its cost on paper isn’t the only important figure you’ll deal with. It's also important that it will give you a positive Return On Investment (ROI). This should be calculated at a period of two years or longer to determine if it will offer the long term benefits needed to help your business survive in the present and grow in the future. Here’s what costs and benefits you’ll need to consider.

Most palletisers can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week — though their speed might change depending on the output of the bagging machines and conveyors that are feeding it.

You’ll need to account for any planned downtime needed or days it might not operate at all (like major public holidays). Your palletiser supplier can tell you what kind of planned downtime you can expect during operation.
