Annual Net Savings Calculation

Step 1: Annual Labor Cost (Current Process)
Workers per shift × Shifts per day × Annual cost per worker
2 workers × 2 shifts × $40,000 = $160,000/year
Step 2: Annual Electricity Cost (Robotic Solution)
Robots × Power (kW) × Hours/shift × Shifts/day × Working days × Electricity price
1 × 0.5 kW × 8 hrs × 2 shifts × 250 days × $0/kWh
= $600/year
Step 3: Annual Labor Cost (Robotic Solution)
Operators per shift × Shifts per day × Annual cost per operator
1 operators × 2 shifts × $35,000 = $70,000/year
Step 4: Total Annual Cost (Robotic Solution)
Labor Cost (Robotic) + Electricity Cost
$70,000 + $600 = $70,600/year
Step 5: Annual Net Savings
Labor Cost (Current) - Total Robotic Cost
$160,000 - $70,600 = $89,400/year
Step 6: Breakeven Time
Total System Cost ÷ Annual Net Savings
$150,000 ÷ $89,400 = 1.68 years (20.1 months)
