Your production efficiency
€ 30,000
Measuring more in less time allows you to detect production process failures earlier. By reducing the batch sizes in between two measurements, you can reduce the number of parts that need to be scrapped.
Here’s how much you can potentially save on materials.
Your operational savings
€ 18,563
Depending on how many positions on a part need to be measured, up to 15 times the number of measurements can be completed using RapidFit in the same amount of time it currently takes to perform manual checks.
Here’s the labour cost you save when automating your current amount of measurements.
Your profit
€ 17,471
Here’s your total return on investment, looking at total savings minus the investment in a RapidFit laser checking fixture.
