Is an automated solution a good fit for your business?
Read on for considerations to help determine whether an automation solution could be appropriate for your process.
Be sure to consider both the direct and indirect benefits of automation. This can be in labor savings and capacity gains as well as the less obvious benefits such as reduced insurance costs, reduced turnover and customer retention.
BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION
Employees are freed from laborious and repetitive tasks to focus on value-add tasks &/or other key responsibilities.
Current employees learn new skills and cultivate their abilities.
With increased productivity and profits, the company can grow and offer additional jobs.
You've done your homework, analyzing the benefits. Now it's time to quantify those benefits by building a clear and convincing case for your company's investment in automation.
As a ballpark figure, (3) typical price ranges for automated systems:
$150-$250K = simple, replaces x1 operator
$200-$400K = average size
$800-$2M = higher-end, more complex, replaces multiple operators
Remember, if you're new to automation your ROI factors will differ from those who already have automation and are simply adding more.
The sooner ROI can be calculated, the better. It is especially helpful if anticipated ROI is known BEFORE quote so that an appropriate solution can be designed.
