Element Logic, AutoStore’s first and largest partner, has analyzed the return on investment (ROI) time of automation in a warehouse, an increasingly decisive factor for companies when deciding what solution to implement in your business. The report ensures that customers who invest in AutoStore technology take two to three years to recover the investment, better than the terms offered by conventional automation systems.
The document “Cost versus benefit – Warehouse automation”, which can be downloaded free of charge, deepens into the 13 criteria to be taken into account to calculate the ROI of an AutoStore system and quantifies the advantages that betting on this type of technology represents, with the aim to offer entrepreneurs the advice of expert professionals in warehouse automation.
Despite the fact that companies are accelerating their commitment to the automation of logistics facilities to maintain their competitiveness in the market, the initial investment that these solutions entail can generate reluctance among smaller companies. For this reason, Element Logic considers it essential to analyze the ROI before making any decision, as well as to calculate the economic return and the advantages that the company obtains with said investment, both in the short and long term.
The report examines two essential factors to show the competitive advantage that AutoStore technology represents: space savings, scalability and productivity improvement. To these benefits, Element Logic incorporates the intangible or more difficult to quantify aspects that must also be valued by the company interested in investing in this system.
