Output above is a framework estimate. Actual ROI depends on blank complexity, reject rate differential, make-ready frequency, and total-cost-of-ownership line items not captured here (energy, maintenance, training, scrap value).

Framework Assumptions
- Manual productivity range 150-300 boxes/hour/operator, per industry benchmark studies for 3D rigid box gluing
- Single-shift manual operation, 2,000 productive hours/operator/year
- Machine price represents equipment only (FOB, not including shipping, duty, installation)
- Calculation excludes reject-rate differential, which typically adds 8-18% incremental savings in favor of automation
- Annual labor savings compared to a manual baseline staffed to meet the same annual volume
