3Frameworks

Framework

Capital and integration costs exceed budget?

Robot unit and software costs?

$35K per collaborative robot hardware

$8K per unit software/integration/training

$21.5M total capex for 500 units (hardware + software)

Facility and infrastructure upgrades?

Electrical upgrades: $2.2M (440V, power distribution)

Safety enclosures and reconfiguration: $3.1M

Total facility capex: $5.3M (23% of project budget)

Deployment execution risks?

Timeline and rollout delays?

Typical 18-month deployment for 500 units (3 units/week)

22% experience delays >3 months due to integration issues

Early ROI only materializes after 60% deployment threshold

Production disruption during installation?

Average 12% output loss per facility during 6-month transition

Cumulative lost production: $8.4M (assumes $500K daily output)

Must phase rollout to maintain continuous output

Labor cost and workforce implications?

Headcount reduction math and transition?

2.5 robots per worker displaced (500 robots / ~200 baseline workers)

Annual savings: $12M (200 roles @ $60K avg loaded cost)

Severance & retraining: $6M (30% of annual savings)

ROI and payback period?

Total project cost: $26.8M (capex + integration + severance)

Annual net benefit: $6M (labor savings $12M - increased maintenance/IT $6M)

Payback period: 4.5 years (unacceptable for most corporations)
