The Definition of ROI: Robotics, Automation & Value in Manufacturing

“Return On Investment” is truly the holy grail of business evaluators.

Regardless the industry, an investment into your company is made with one idea in mind; enhance performance in the most lucrative, efficient ways possible. In our tech driven world, an ROI needs to come quickly as consumer demand & technology developments move just as fast, if not faster. The industrial manufacturing & warehousing worlds are particularly in tune with this. Their efficiency is our economic pulse in 2022.

This belief in mind, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of industrial robots, collaborative robots, and autonomous mobile robots being integrated in manufacturing facilities all throughout the world. The reason? Robotic automation has a timely payoff. In 2018, Acieta Chairman & CEO Robby Komljenovic published an article regarding how companies are calculating these investments. Komljenovic wrote “When considering a new robotic automation system, one of the biggest concerns can be the weight of the initial costs. While such a large capital expense may be hard to swallow at first, it’s industry-proven that manufacturers see an average ROI of 24 months from robots.”

The topic of capital investment is perhaps the most interesting element of that statement because it’s the biggest roadblock standing before robotic integration. In the eyes of manufacturers, financial concern of upfront investment often overshadows the true value of the gains netted from robotics. Fortunately, Perrysburg OH’s RōBEX has heard the concerns and are meeting companies needs with their multiple options.
