The baseline required 3 people per shift and 2 shifts per line across 6 lines, with a fully loaded annual cost of $50,000 per person (AAA20 internal data).
Solution: CP-66-SW
CP-66-SW cells combine palletizing and stretch wrapping. The example retains 1 person per shift per line, reducing headcount from 36 to 12 (AAA20 internal data).
A manufacturer running 6 lines with integrated stretch wrappers
AAA20 internal data. Historical example, not a quote or guaranteed outcome.
| Value | |
|---|---|
| Lines | 6 |
| People per shift per line, before | 3 |
| Shifts per line | 2 |
| Fully loaded annual cost per person | $50,000 |
| Automation per line | $8,000/mo |
| People per shift per line, after | 1 |
| Annual calculation period | 12 months |
AAA20 internal data: the historical $8,000/mo per-line automation cost is an assumption of this example, not today's CP-66-SW advertised lease rate.
The savings calculation
AAA20 internal data. All figures use the assumptions above.
| Calculation | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Headcount before | 6 × 3 × 2 | 36 |
| Headcount after | 6 × 1 × 2 | 12 |
| Annual labor saved | 24 × $50,000 | $1,200,000/year |
| Annual automation cost | 6 × $8,000 × 12 | $576,000/year |
| Annual net savings | $1,200,000 − $576,000 | $624,000/year |
| Total cost reduction | $624,000 ÷ $1,800,000 | 34.7% |
| Annual ROI | $624,000 ÷ $576,000 | 108% |
ROI uses annual net savings divided by annual automation cost. Cost reduction uses net savings divided by baseline annual labor cost. Staffing changes are not a claim that employees were dismissed.
