A framework to justify and prove ROI on automation with real production numbers.

Automation ROI has three dimensions: cost reduction (licensing), throughput increase (units/time), and reliability (error rate).
Daikin: 24% cost reduction & 75% throughput increase. Habasit: 50% search time reduction via indexed legacy drawings.
1. Baseline current cycle time. 2. Automate high-friction constraints. 3. Calculate payback period (Cost ÷ Savings).
“Measuring cost, throughput, and reliability provides the political capital to fund the next project.”
