Step 2 SME manufacturer robot adoption decision-making

Problem

CEOs of SME manufacturers with 10–50 employees lack tools to comprehensively compare labor cost savings, defect rate reductions, and uptime changes when deciding whether to adopt robotic automation. They rely on gut feeling or one-sided materials from equipment vendors. Poor decisions frequently result in sunk costs averaging ₩200–300 million (~$150,000–$225,000).

Solution

Input your current production line's labor costs, defect rates, and operating hours, and the tool automatically calculates 3-year TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and ROI for various robot adoption scenarios, benchmarked against industry peers. Core features: (1) Automated ROI calculation based on labor costs, defect rates, and uptime, (2) Industry-specific benchmark comparisons, (3) Auto-generated PDF investment proposals (suitable for bank loan applications).

Target: CEOs and business planning managers at SME manufacturers with ₩1–10 billion (~$750K–$7.5M) annual revenue, aged 40s–60s
Revenue Model: Premium Report ₩190,000 (~$143) Per Transaction + Monthly Subscription ₩49,000 (~$37) (benchmark data updates, unlimited scenario saves)
