Calculator shows scope for savings with ABB robots18 March 2014

ABB has launched an online ROI calculator to help SMEs (small to medium size enterprises) discover the cost and productivity potential available to them from industrial robots.

Mike Wilson, general industry sales and marketing manager for ABB Robotics in the UK, worries that despite evidence to the contrary, many UK manufacturers still believe that robots are prohibitively expensive to purchase and operate.

"Our ROI calculator shows how robotic technology can actually deliver long term consistent performance with minimal overheads, helping companies to better predict factors, such as cost of production, turnaround times, output levels and product quality," he insists.

"Ultimately, a well-conceived, well-executed automated production process can offer companies a real chance to save money and compete on a level playing field even with companies in low cost countries," he adds.

Wilson explains that users can select from a choice of applications, including arc welding, machine tending, plastic injection moulding, picking, packing and palletising. They then get a forecast of cost savings from automating their processes with robots.
